    Launching trouble...can't get under 7sec 0-60

    Ok, noob question, what is the best launch strategy for an all original Terminator? This is my first stick in 20 years, and it feel completely different from my 84 5-speed GT, and of course different from my more recent 03 auto Mach1. I know they are supposed to be able to do 0-60 in almost 5...

    Sub-frame bolt replacement question

    Can the front sub-frame bolts be replaced with the IRS in the car? I want to order the FT 1600 bolt kit, but I really don't want to remove the IRS for a full bushing replacement yet. Is this a novice or veteran mechanic job?

    Cost to replace clutch?

    I've only had my 04 convertible a few months, and she is the first manual transmission in about 30 years, but after a few hours and a couple hundred miles, I have the feeling she is due for a clutch and/or transmission work. Not from anything I've done - it was like riding a bicycle - but more...

    Hood Liner Repair?

    Has anyone tried to repair their Cobra hood liner? Mine has some ragged places on the front edge and around a couple of the plastic 'pins' that hold it up. I want to try to repair it since it isn't available new anymore. Any suggestions?

    Factory Sirius satellite radio tuner?

    Does anyone have for sale, or know where I can get, a factory satellite tuner module to plug into the 16 pin port on the back of my Mach460 radio? I'm not looking for an aftermarket version, but an OEM version so I can use an AUX-FRD04 aux input adapter to work. Alternatively, does anyone...

    Convertible top maintenance & cleaning question

    This is my first convertible, and I'm reading as much internet advice as I can, but there is a LOT of advice on cleaning and maintaining the top. I'm curious what y'all (the experts) are doing to clean and maintain the tops on your Cobras. For example: do I lube the mechanism, what products do...

    Need advice re-installing OEM Mach460 stereo system

    The previous owner installed a Clarion double-din touchscreen radio, trunk-mounted amp and Bazooka sub. He provided the OEM radio, and amps with the sale, and I just pulled a pair of OEM subs from the junkyard. He couldn't provide me with any information, other than "I didn't keep the rear...

    Am I the only one who thinks...

    ...that the Mustang Mach E should have been called the Maverick - specifically - Maverick Lighting? Ford could have used the "Lightning" designation on all the EV versions of each model. F150 Lighting is a perfect example. Don't get me wrong, I like the Mach E as a vehicle, just not...

    Intercooler not mounted correctly?

    I've only had my Terminator less than a week, and I'm trying to track down some noise from the frontend. It looks like the heat exchanger isn't bolted to the bumper. It can swing forward and back fairly loosly. Does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve removing the bumper?

    3rd break light question

    Probably a dumb question, but from some pictures ive seen, it appears that the 3rd break light is a one-piece assembly, right? Mine is cracked through, about 1.5" from the left side. I assumed it would be a simple lens replacement, but it appears I have to replace the whole light assembly...

    2023 Tire discussion?

    I've just purchased a stock '04 Cobra convertible in Houston, and she's going to need tires. I've seen many "best tire" threads, but many are years old, and I'm thinking some of the tire make/models are out of production. Is there any interest in creating a new tire discussion thread? If not...
