I was going through boxes in the basement and found some items I still had from when I had my 2003 Cobra (yeah, it turned out to be a horrible decision to get rid of it). Anyway, here are the items I have: Jack Roush Shifter Handle: Roush Part number SM02-5025-JR. Sells for $104.90 new...

Lynch Chevrolet in Burlington, Wisconsin. They just got in a silver GTO. Stopped early this morning on my way to work. Nice car, but boring! It looks like an oversized Sunbird! This one was an automatic (I thought they were all supposed to be manual tranny?). Dealer had added charge of...

First off let me say that I am NOT a petroleum expert. I merely am an avid reader of the forums and an 03 owner. Anyways, as all these oil threads continue to show up on the forums, I started thinking and had some questions. OK, so stock oil is Motocraft semi-synthetic 5w20. Some people...

"Your wife called! She said to buy anything you want!" That was written in soap or whatnot on windsheild... I thought that was pretty priceless. I was at the dealer Griffen in Waukesha for monthly "shop talk" they have for SVT owners. When I pulled up was in my old Jeep Cherokee...

Wondering if I should get this done this Spring when I take the car out of storage. I am going to take it in anyways for the reflash on the computer to fix stalling issue, before I start modding. But when my better half rides with me the passenger seat squeaks like crazy, it drives both of us...

While I was reading the Mustang Enthusiast magazine last night I picked up while grocery shopping, had something interesting about paint colors on 2003 cobras. They state that there were 13,476 2003 cobras built. 8,394 coupes and 5,082 convertibles. 3,930 of them were black (2,251...

Picked up copy of Mustang Enthusiast magazine last night at grocery store. New mag, wanted to give it a chance. Also saw they had article about the K&N FIPK which I installed last fall. They installed it into a 2003 10th anniversary Cobra, which was bone stock. Did dyno pulls after install...

I don't know if I'm going to do it or not. But have had the Cobra since last Spring... did Magnaflow exhaust, K&N FIPK, Tri-ax shifter so far. I have been hesitant about getting into the realm of non-warrenty friendly mods like chip and pulley... due to cost of engine. But I modded the hell...

Just for the hell of it, check out dealer trade-in value for my 2003 Cobra. Mint condition, only 5,000 miles on it. $25,900! Wow, lost $9,100 in value in the 8 months I have owned it. That is total crap. Thanks SVT and Ford for building way too many of them and helping ruin the value of...

Yep... About that time in the frigid North to pack my 03 Cobra away for the Winter, just like I did w/ the 02 Lightning I had last year. 5 months no driving the toy... back to the old Jeep Cherokee. Anyways, I have never owned a car cover. What are some good ones out there for 03 Cobras...

I think a used police interceptor would be a great daily driver, as the P71 package or 9C1 would make the car very reliable. What is the best way to look for a good used police car? Best places to buy? What to look for as far as vehicle itself? Just also wanted to say, don't want one merely...

I really love the look of the 2000 Cobra R. Was thinking on my silver 03 a R Hood, front splitter, rear wing and rear bumper would look pretty cool. I think they will all fit, except I wonder about the hood? Will it fit and also will it provide proper cooling since there wouldn't be any heat...

I am interested in a set of rims they make. Anyone who is using AFS rims, is the quality, fit and finish good on them? Here are the ones I was thinking about. Anyone running this MACH style on their 03 Cobra...

Hey everyone, I am building my "ultimate" shifter setup. I bought a Jack Roush signature shifter boot and handle, and Fatknob. But I am also replacing the stock mechanism w/ a Steeda tri-ax. I am going to install the Steeda this evening. Couple questions, if anyone would be so kind to...

I saw a little blurb in a magazine for it. Special shifter handle, knob, and leather boot. Anyone have this and what are your impressions. I really like the look of it.
