[QUOTE="smashedheadcat, post: 13659001, member: 7756"] I've had three SN95 cobras over the years, including one convertible. I left one completely stock and the only issue it ever had was the IMRC setup failed, as did the check engine light. The bulb burnt out and one day just seemed to have no top end power. Once I finally got an OBD scan it identified the IMRC problem. This failed at approximately 40,000 miles. 2nd Cobra, 96 Mystic- Stock with 4.10 gears and flowmaster catback. This car ran hot on occasion and had a tick in the valvetrain. I had the to pay to have the Cooling mod TSB done, I cannot remember how much it costed though. I think it was $500 or so. I sold this car to buy a 97 convertible. 97 Cobra convertible - Other than destroying every piece of the driveline with a vortech supercharger, it was a great car. The check engine light burnt out on this one as well. The top held up okay, but it is not as nice as the ones you'll find on an 03 cobra. I never had to replace it so I do not know what they cost. I haven't been very helpful, I know, but these are the only issues that I've had with mine over the years. One thing I didn't like about them, is the seats. They get that "wrinkled" look to them with minimal seat time. They appear old even when they are relatively new. [/QUOTE]
