    Budget performance tire?

    I know it's been discussed before. Not much though to find in the archives. I want a good budget replacement for the F1s. I'm selling the car so I really don't want to be spending too much money but I don't want to put on some lame passanger tire that doesn't belong on a Cobra. Something...

    SEARCH DOWN: Tire question...

    Just want to confirm before I finalize my order... Nitto 315s will fit on the stock wheels and stock suspension without any major problems, correct? How many miles are you people getting out of them?

    UPDATE: Got my car back...finally!

    Need advice on replacing my motor...

    This is somewhat of continuation or an offshoot of on of my previous thread ( http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73133 ) about how a shop that did work on my car was responsible for it severely overheating. The bottom line is that I now have a choice for a "NEW"...

    What effect...

    I had an off-road H-pipe installed along with other mods with a tuned Diablo chip. The chip was tuned for the the setup with the off-road H-pipe (no cats). What affect would temporarily switching back to the stock catted intermediate pipe with the same Diablo chip tuned for off-road have on...

    Another sad day in the history of our Cobras...

    UPDATED: Another sad day in the history of our Cobras... Well, mainly mine. But I'm sure my fellow SVT owners will crinch. The worse fear next to totalling one's precious vehicle. As some of you may know, I've had a couple mishaps with my car. The first one was talked about some bit with...

    Question about our taillights - Quick check for you...

    Just need a few fellow owners to check up on something for me. I was in a minor wreck at the track where I went ass-end into a guard rail. It only hit on the left rear corner of my bumper, and ONLY the bumper. Anyway, I just got it back from the shop and it's looking pretty damn good but I...

    What spring rates...

    I'm getting new springs soon and have a question not necessarily typical for this board. Basically, I don't know if I want to settle for the lowest spring rates. First, because I never settle for the least in anything. Simple character flaw. =D Second, because I want my car to handle as best...

    >> Want different tailpipes...

    I have the MAC catback and I am having the tailpipes replaced after a minor rear-end mishap. I never liked the MAC ones to begin with, and I know there are some stainless, roll-tipped ones out there and wonder 1) which ones are the best IYO, and 2) can I use them with the MAC catback?

    Hurt my baby :(

    I have a question and a story. Well I was auto-crossing today and had a little rendezvous with the guardrail after a slight spin out (THANKS TO TRACTION CONTROL BAH!). Anyway, there will be a video posted soon from the Chebby goons on all the message boards I’m sure, so be prepared...

    Throw Out Bearing a real problem? Oh and brakes too.

    Ok I definitely have the TOB squeal and just need to know how worried I should be about getting it taken care of? The car SEEMS to run fine for now, but the squeal is VERY annoying and since I'm modded, the dealer obviously won't fix it. Second question is that I've heard the dealers won't...

    TOB and/or clutch problems...

    I've read about TOB problems/squealing and think I may have it. Also, I think my clutch may be loose or slipping or something. How exactly can I test or watch out for both of these to make sure it’s not something trivial? I know this might not be related, but every time I take my car out...

    Anyone heard of "Baker Racing"?

    ... I ran into a black Z06 Corvette yesterday that had those letters on the back windshield, a sweet aftermarket hood and a racing number on his car in a couple places (#17). I have a few more details about the car, but I want to research Baker Racing before I discuss what went down. Thanks.

    Those with experience: what #'s to expect with pulley?

    I dynoed 428.7 and 399.5 with CAI and off-road H-pipe and MAC cat-back. I'm getting a 2.8 upper and a Diablo-tuned chip tonight. I want to see what kind of guesses you can give me as to what kind of power I will make with the pulley changed. I know it depends on the tune, but estimates will...
