get some gears.. 3.73's, 3.90's or 4.10's, will make a hugeeeee difference.

get some 3.73's

Simple.

When you are in these situtions:

1) - A vehicle is beside you and wont go slower or faster, while another vehicle is in front of you and wont get over or speed up so you are boxed in, simply roll down your window, have a sincere look of concern on your face, get the attention of the driver beside you and point to his/her front tire like it is going flat or coming apart. This generaly makes them slow down just a bit but enough to make room for you to get around and be on your way.

2) - An SUV pulls up along side you while in your '94 Cobra gently put it in 3rd or 4th depending on your mph and simply mat it. A stock Cobra should pull away from almost any SUV.

3) - If option 2 doesn't work, stay with step 1

I've pointed at people's vehicles before and started yelling "IT'S ON FIRE, IT'S ON FIRE!!" That used to get them out of the way.

Unless a moded cummins or powerstroke is coming after you i can't think of one gasser that should keep up with you in the cobra...time for a tune up maybe...but you shouldn't have a problem with suvs

The supercharger on a cobra makes a big difference on the freeway. Now if I need to put some distance from the car behind me, I downshift to 4th, put the accelerator to the floor and in seconds that blower kicks in and Im doing 100.

I'll have to remember that one

Id stay w/ putting in a set of 3.73 gears. I think that putting in a Supercharger JUST FOR THE PURPOSE of getting away from annoying SUV's on the highway is a little odd. Most people that want them have more of a reason then just there morning comute to work. When its all said and done does it annoy you enough to put down $4,000 ( by the time the whole process is done) or $200 for a set of gears

ROFL!! I put a paxton on my SUV JUST FOR THE PURPOSE of annoying guys that think they have a fast little ricer, or as in the last "surprise", a beemer 5something, wanted my lane leaving a light, and I didn't allow it, he didn't know what to think when the "AWD 5.0 Supercharged" emblems went by him, with 4 adults and 2 dogs on board. Want to add Nitrous too, but wifey poo says no. :-(

HAHA supercharge 5.0 explorer is the way to go....

To the question at hand....i if you realy realy want the extra speed go buy/build a turbo kit thats the best way to 400-450 RWHP and you'll have all the boost you need a 3000rpms you won't ever need anything more the 4th.

dustin a suv

The gears sound good and I actually had a 410 taken out because of gas milage and I like to cruise at 90..my rpms were to high..well the jury is still out ..right now I 'm thinkin Nitros or supercharger..someone suggested a edelbrock performer intake.Thank you for your input...I have only had this car three weeks and I haven't stopped toolin with it.

slow88stang · Jun 5, 2004

so what gears are in it now if you had the 410's taken out?

95GTvert[bv12] · Jun 5, 2004

with my 3.73 i get 25-27mpg on teh highway cruzing at around 85mph

chefster · Jun 8, 2004

gears taken out

They put in stock gt gears? whatever that is..my rpms are way down there now

trickflow street heat intake would do well too

that is what i have, and thumper heads. the computer is finally learning how to run them. it starts really pulling at about 2600 and continues to about 4500.

get 3.73s. it is a good compromise. i have 4.10s in my 96, and like you, i do not like the rpms so high on the highway, but i can cruise around town at 1500 because it doesn't bog nearly as much. pick your poison ...
