I've always loved performance cars and trucks, but this my first mustang a 99 cobra convertible with a 112000 miles on it. It's pretty wicked but alot of wheel hop but the tires are shot, any thoughts?

Hey Mike, welcome to stangnet.

At least your mid life crisis runs.

I don't have an IRS on either of my fox bodies, but just guessing, I would say your bushings are worn out.

But to be sure, I'll move your thread to the '96-'04 tech subforum where you'll get help from fellow cobra owners.

Post some pictures so we can list over your car when you get a chance.

Good to have you with us.

^ I agree. Some nice bushings will help out. I got a prothane IRS bushing kit from summit racing for pretty cheap for my old 03

How do you like the tires? Is your car supercharged? Would love to see some photos.
