    97 Cobra w/ rebuilt title

    5k seems pretty reasonable to me... If it looks nice and runs good. I think the motor, trans, and ecm are worth right around 4k just by themself.

    Friend just picked up a 98 Cobra

    Are you really asking what do I have to do to make my car faster than my friends? 3:73's are a good mod and would definately help... How much I dont know, but at least the car will be more enjoyable to drive... Catless X pipe is another really good mod probably the best bang for the buck...

    Friend just picked up a 98 Cobra

    Well to the best of my knowledge the 96-98 cobras are essentially the same engine. I used to own a 96 cobra and when I sold it and later bought a 01 Bullitt (bone stock) the bullitt felt significantly slower than my cobra. If I was go guess on 1/4 mile times between your car and his I would...

    sad day...

    I can totally appreciate your situation as I have been there myself. (When I had to sell my 96 Cobra several years ago) Probably the most important thing I can share with you from my experiance is that when you buy another car, make sure it is something you like. It was my experiance that...

    1-2 and can spin almost all the way through 2nd... Rarely get a chirp in 3rd though. (Live at 3500 foot elevation) Never driven the car at sea level.

    Time to replace parts and have Questions

    Originally I had been against the bullitt suspension set up as I owned a bullitt and I didnt remember being all that impressed with how it handled/rode, however, a friend of mine with a 97 GT just did the bullitt susp package and it did make a HUGE diference... And for the price I think it is...

    Control Arm Question

    So you will have to bear with me here as I really know nothing about newer suspension set ups. Here is what I am trying to understand, what EXACTLY does swaping out the lower control arms do for you? How does this improve your 60' times? The only thing I can think of is that they are simply...

    Engine Swap Advice

    +1 I feel you pain being stuck with a V6 mustang, but it will be a huge undertaking and you will end up spending ten times the amount to do the conversion, as you would to just buy a V8 mustang. I instead would try a little harder to convince your wife to let you sell it and put the money...

    BEST HEADS FOR 4.6

    I would just look at the bench flow numbers of some of the bigger brands. I have been looking at heads for quite awhile now, eg. hours into reading and if I was going to go out and by a pair of heads tomorrow, and my equation was horsepower per dollar I would look into the steen racing heads...

    machine gun

    I think it must have to do with the muffler design as I used to have the exact same thing with my O/R H and Ravin Mufflers (straight through design). Now I have Flowmasters and no more machine gun...

    Engine running rough at 1500-2000 RPMs.

    Just a hunch, but I am inclined to think that you may have a "Flat Spot" on the TPS sensor.

    05 gt or 03-04 cobra

    +1 For the 03/04 Cobra... That is going to be my next car, I have never even considered an 05+ GT.

    HP question for 2001 Cobra

    Anyone running BBK ceramic coated Long tubes, please come in..

    Mine have been on for quite awhile and where I live there is often gravel on the roads, at any rate pretty much all of the ceramic coating on the bottom portion of my headers/collectors is gone and replaced with surface rust... I am pretty sure that over time this will happen to all headers...

    Finally picked up a 99GT, pics inside

    +1 Thats a nice looking stang! I wish I had the 01+ hood... Also from looking at the pictures it appears that you have an aluminum intake manifold?

    mustangs with stripes..?? anyone

    I will try and post some pictures tomorrow... I have a white 2000 GT with black mach 1 stripes down it. It came on the car when I bought it, and at the time I didnt really it. However, after having the car for awhile my opinion has changed for two reasons: A. I get a lot of compliments on the...

    How hard do you drive your GT?

    I hate to admit it, but I really have never thought about how hard I drive my car... This is my 3rd 4.6 mustang and all of them I have driven "Hard" eg taken to redline (Or very close) at least once every time I drive it. Most of my normal shifting is around 4k. I have always done very...
