These are 4 Pirelli Sottozero snow tires with about 1500 miles on them. 2 fronts measuring 255/40/19 and the rears are 285/35/19 (stock sizes). Pickup or ship. Best offer takes them. thanks

I'm 500 miles into daily driving my 2010 GT500 and absolutely loving the car. To have all this power and the creature comforts of a luxury car are astounding to me. The only downside I had to date is a rattle/resonance coming from the dash when the car is in gear and the tach hits 1,250 RPM. I'm...

Hi I just picked up my 2010 GT500 yesterday and already itchy to mod. First one I think will be a short throw shifter but it looks like they changed the design from the 07-09. Has anyone done this mod yet, and is the install easier than what i've seen for the earlier design? Install pics would...

I'm getting ready to pick up a brand new 2010 GT500 and will be using it as a daily driver here in the northeast. I would like to swap out the F1's for a set of all season tires to avoid the hassle of summer/snow tires. I cant seem to find a matching pair at either TireRack, Mavis or Discount...

a 2010 GT500- silver with black stripes or grey with silver stripes? I will use it as a daily driver so I figure the grey is less 'in your face' but the silver will show less inevitable scratches what do you guys think? Thanks

Hi Been away for a while but thinking of getting back to a supercharged gt500. I currently have a 2006 vert GT (long story why I gave up the 2003 Cobra). I'm going to see a 2008 gt500 tonight for possible trade, what should I look out for? I've seen posts here regarding the flyweheel issue so...

My '03 Cobra is approaching 30k miles so i figured it was time for some supsension replacements/upgrades. please help me out with the following: I have heard good things about the QA1 shocks to solve the wheel hop. Also heard about Strange adjustable shocks? anyone have an opinion on either...

would try to search for this but the function is disabled. Is there a special tool necessary to take apart the brakes? I remember seeing something that needle nose pliers will do but I dont want to screw anything. does anyone know where i can get the tool? Can you point me to a thread/site where...

please post if you have these pics - looking to get the 18" AFS Cobra rims painted white for my white cobra thanks

Was taking the brakes apart to paint the rotors this weekend and got a little afraid of playing with the set up. On the fronts, it looks like the pads are held in by a sring or clamp at the bottom end. is there a special tool to remove this part of the pads? I know there is a special tool to...

tried to get the wheels off this weekend and broke the Mcgard Key. Already have ordered another one but the nuts are on so tight I'm afraid of breaking it again. I guess the shop that swapped the snow tires for me last year must have used an impact wrench and/or they are rusted on. I tried...

Changed my plugs to the Densos this weekend, and broke an electrode on one while I was gapping it. I put it in anyway gapped to .04 (best I can) and it seems to be running fine. I'll try to call the place today and purchase one plug but I do not think they get sold in less than a 4 pack...

Don't care much about the shine as my Cobra is Ox white, but I find a lot of black marks probably tar. Does anyone know which wax offers the most protection and lasts the longest? thanks

... do you have any pics? I have been thinking of doing this just because the inside is so boring thanks

my 03 cobra starting creaking the other day. definitely coming from the trunk space. seems to be coming from directly behind the passenger rear seat. sounds like a creak/rattle. removed everything i could including the plastic trim over the wheel well and the spare. still there. anyone have...
