    My Buddy is selling his Cobra RANT!

    :cryying: This really bums me out... A very good friend of mine just lost his job and had to turn in his company vehicle. His 03 Cobra 'vert was his secondary car and he now needs something to drive daily so he decides to trade in the Cobra on an 05 F-150 FX4. The bummer for me is the...

    Me New Here.

    Hello. My name in The Gipper and I am a Fordoholic. Oh, sure I like other brands of muscle and high performancs vehicles-mostly older stuff though, but Ford is, was, and ever shall be my mark. I am currently underway with a 12-step recovery program to satisfy my acceleration affliction. I...

    What was your first Mustang?

    Mine was a '67 coupe with a transplanted 351C 4bbl, c6, and one legged rear with fairly low gears. I traded a '73 Vega + a bmx bike for it. This was in 1981 and I was 16. This was an pretty clean car, but didnt have a hood, so i put on a velocity stack, f70-14s with slotted mags and...

We will run it on a backroad somewhere here outside of COS...

    Caught A Break

    Going 53 in a 45 on a backroad outside of town. I was pulled over by an El Paso Co Sheriff. My bad for speeding and this guy could have been a tool, but instead he took my papers back to his car and less than 2 min later he comes back and tells me to be safe and slow down. No ticket. :bowdown...

    Muscle Cars. Remember when...

    I was going through some old magazines from the late 70s early 80s the other day and came across a Hot Rod publication on just Mustangs and there was an article on how to buy a used Mustang. One example was a low mileage 70 Boss 302 for sale at $4,000. Because of the slotted mags, wrong air...

    C.S.P.D. Wasting Time on Bicycle Freak

    The other day I was driving through downtown CS making a left turn and some hippie type guy on a home-made recumbant bike rolls up to my passenger window and starts shouting at me. He calls me a piece of $hit, a-hole, and other assorted profanities because he says I almost killed him. With all...

    Correction Factor for altitude?

    My buddy's 03 Cobra (i/c/p/e) put down 443 hp in Denver, CO which is 5,280" above sea level. This seems to me pretty good for this altitude, but I wonder what it would be at sea level all things else equal.

    Anyone here from So. Colorado?

I am hoping to be in the low 12s maybe high 11s at whatever altitude PMI is. Was wondering if anybody from this board is planning on being there Friday March 20th Test...

    I "stunded" a Cobra it's tracks!

    No offense to 03CobraConvert- honestly. I actually like the term especially in light of the $hit storm it caused in here. At 4:30 am on my way to the gym in my wife's 04 Honda Odyssey I pulled uo to a stoplight next to a 1978 (not sure of the exact year) Cobra II. It was shiny black with...

    NHRA rules on convertables?????

    I have a '03 Cobra ragtop w/ cai, x-pipe, 2.8" pully, Diablosport chip. It dynoed 443rwhp @ 5280' msl (Denver) I am fairly confident that it will run in the 12s at this altitude. At which point is a rollcage required? I am planning to run it in March at PMI and would like to get more than...
