    2010 Rear End Poll

    I do not consider my 2010 Shelby's rear to be ugly. My car is silver and has the stripes deleted to prevent undue attention. I find that most people are interested in what it looks like under the hood and inside. Everyone has been very complimentary of its appearance and performance. "Beauty...

    ROUSH on the SPEED channel last night

    jdcleve--Supercharging Of course, when it comes to supercharging, there are also compression ratio factors to be considered in the interest of engine durability. Case in point: My '03's is 8.5:1 with 8 PSI boost; my '10's is 8.4:1 with 8.5 PSI boost. Compare this with a normally...

    ROUSH on the SPEED channel last night

    jdcleve--Re Shelby horsepower I have just viewed the Top Gear video. The Shelby tested was a 500hp, 2009 model. I know because the cobra emblem is on the driver's side of the grill; the '10 has the emblem on the passenger side. It was moved to avoid obstructing the '10's cold air inlet...

    jdcleve--headreast forward tilt issue For those wondering, I am 5 feet 9 inches tall. I have had to tilt my head upwards somewhat when looking at traffic lights. The headrests seem to be designed to prevent them from being turned around. I am glad that hardly anyone else seems to have...

    jdcleve--headreast forward tilt issue Thanks Brian. It seems that the insurance companies have dictated the forward tilt to reduce whiplash injuries which might result if a head were able to go over the top of the headrest. I have ruled out the headrest swap between my '03 and the '10. The...

    jdcleve--2010 Shelby headrest comfort issue I recently took delivery of a 2010 Shelby. The headrests seem to tilt forward much more than they should, and they lack an indentation. My head bounces forward and back with each bump. Also, the headrests make it difficult to look upward. There...

    2003 Cobra supercharger issue

    Thanks to all who have responded. My problem is intermittent and is more likely to result after applying power in a turn. This is reminiscent of an old carb problem--such as caused by a sticking float--as I recall. JD

    2003 Cobra supercharger issue

    Thanks for replying. I assume that you have not had a similar experience on your Cobra. Are you still stock? It seems that my loss of power is due to greatly reduced fuel injection persisting momentarily after I reopen the throttle after a higher RPM shift. I assume the absence of boost...

    '03 Cobra performance issue

    I am the original owner of a stock '03 Cobra with less than 19,000 miles. Periodically, after full-throttle acceleration , RPMs fall (close) to idle during up-shifting even though I stay below the red line and make a snappy shift. I notice the problem when I attempt full acceleration in the...

    2003 Cobra supercharger issue

    I am the original owner of a stock '03 Cobra with less than 19,000 miles that exhibits a slow return of supercharger action after a higher RPM shift--typically first to second. That is, I am running full-throttle within the RPM range for a gear, and the RPMs drop toward idle after clutch...
