    '01 vs. '03 Cobra

    I'm not sure I'd wait if your mind is set for a 01 or a 03. The incentives are pretty good on remaining 03s (assuming you have good credit) and apparently some dealers will deal. Between the two, if I were in your position, I'd go with the 03...however, in my particular position, I have no...

    how do i get rid of teh white spots??

    If you have bad water and want to continue washing your car at your home, you might should try the Mr. Clean kit...if nothing else because of the PUR filter that comes in the water hose attachment spray gun. Plus, you'll get the benefits of not having to dry the car. Just a FYI...the filter...

    Mr. Clean car wash

    You ought to use your car as your avatar. That's a sharp Mustang you have there and the rear quarter view is especially a nice angle as its distinctive with the 35th blackout trim on it. :nice:

    Mr. Clean car wash

    Yeah, I agree. Whatever technique works best, works best plain and simple and everybody has their own but my posts were not meant to be taken as being argumentative...just sharing my experiences from washing my cars or family cars for the past 16 years and it seems as if I've tried everything...

    Mr. Clean car wash

    I've never been a big fan of wash mitts and/or sponges because they seem to have more of a tendency to pick up debris when washing the vehicle...at least for me. Plus, I've never found one that is 100% cotton. The ones in the stores are always listed as just "chenille" which doens't...

    Mr. Clean car wash

    I bought my Mr. Clean kit mainly to wash my truck because of its size but I am so impressed with the results, I think I'm going to try it on my Cobra. No bucket, no drying...no waterspots. Just stand there and watch it dry or go inside and take a nap while your car dries. Of course, the same...

    SVT Lightning vs. Ram SRT-10...

    In the mean time, Dodge has taken away the "world's fastest truck" title. The Ram is now the Guiness record holder. Also, there is talk of a Hemi V10 in development, so Ford may still have competition in the next couple of years from PVO and I'd imagine Chevy is going to wise up and want a...

    Will this void my warranty?

    I would imagine that a good service department relationship often is the make or break deal. First of all, I'd find a dealer that was already "performance-oriented", ask about their own performance parts (if any) and their installation of it. You're giving them business there and I'd find it...

    which one? 99 or 01.

    From what I remember, the 2001 was the least produced 4.6L Cobras.

    which one? 99 or 01.

    Basically the difference is the 01 has more supportive factory seats, polished wheels and a 6 disk in-dash CD changer as opposed to a single CD player. The 99 has a T-45 tranny and the 01 Cobra has a TR-3650. The rest is just subtle cosmetic differences.

    I found this, which may be at least interesting to have if not very helpful.

    Cobra disk brake measurements?

    Well, I can't speak of total specifics, but I do know that the Cobra has had the 13" rotors since 1994 with twin piston PBR calipers up front. The rotors became 13" Brembos in 99, from my recollection. The rear calipers are single piston and measure (I think) 11.65 inches. As far as the fit...

    Mustang question

    I guess the very root is from the Shelby affliation, but I'd say ever since Ford put the 428 Cobra Jet in the old 68 or 69 Mustang, the name has sort of gone hand in hand with the Mustang...as far as Fords are concerned. Plus, its all about marketing. Ford knows that the name "Cobra" evokes an...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    You didn't know that the Bullitt could outrev the Cobra? :D I would edit it, but it is rather funny. :rlaugh:

    Problem's Drying car

    I've never really cared for using towels myself for drying and I'm still very pleased with the results I get. After trying different approaches, these 3 or 4 steps below are what I do and the drying is no where near the headache it needs to be. Take notice of my step 2 as this will help out...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    5.0 Mag did do a comparsion test between the 01 Bullitt and 01 Cobra in the Nov. 01 edition. The Cobra numbers were superior in that test as both were stock. Notice the 0-100mph is shown at nearly a second difference. Here are the highlights of the acceleration test: Cobra 0-60 5.28...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    I know magazine documentation can be inaccurant due to a number of factors and because of that and the fact that we're talking about limited production Mustangs, you don't see a lot of thorough testing. Case in point is Motor Trend. The only testing they ever did on a 2001 Cobra was the...

    2001 Cobra colors

    The basic differences in the interior of the 01 and 03 are relatively minor with the seats the dominate difference. The seats in both are similiar but have some differences. They both have the leather/alcantara surfaces with the Cobra logo stitched in the seatbacks. The 01 seats have more...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    It bothers me to a degree about Ford choosing to distribute the hood and wheels to other Mustangs, but that is simply what Ford does. They empty their parts bins when they have surplus. Didn't they put some of the same aluminum trim and gauges from the Bullitt straight into the Mach 1? What...
