Want to double check some shit I'm spouting on another forum. 900hp. 6,000 dollars. Doable, yes?

I'm almost regretting it. :cryying: Not because I hate the new car, on the contrary I love it, its just what I need at this junction of my life (4doors and all that). No, not because of the failing of the car, but by the absolutely thickheaded, technically-challeneged, nearsighted...

Heard a rumor. Is this true?

Do the Nitto 315s fit well on the stock rims? Can I go larger than 295 BFGs on them? I've heard some folks tell me that larger than 295 on hte stock rims you get too much pinch, but with the Nittos some have said they donut. I want to mount bigger rubber but am having a real hard time finding...

I've reached my limit of tolerance with the stock shifter, and even though putting on the MGW handle bought me about a year of driving with it, I just can't stand it any longer. So I've been going thru all the old threads on shifters and have narrowed it down to either the Tri-ax or the Pro5.0...

What is the top speed in 4th gear for a car on stock tires with stock gears - assuming everything is tuned, aligned, and inflated correctly?

I've been looking for some replacement wheels for the 03 for months now and can't seem to find one that suits me. I have a Mineral Grey coupe and can't stand the stock wheels (I have the polished) and don't really want to take Ford up on the chromes either. So far I've narrowed it down to...

Was wondering if anyone else who's done the hood mod has run into this: I am getting a squeak from in front of the engine while cold. ONce the engine warms up to full operating temp then it goes away. It doesn't sound like your typical loose belt, more like a squeaking pulley axle, but its...

Does anyone know of any manufacturer of Die Cast replicas or desktop models that offers our cars - the 2003 Cobra? The only Cobra I can seem to find are 2000 Cobra R models. Any help is appreciated.

I've seen threads with folks comparing one or the other, and I've listened to wavs of each of these, but I can't tell which is the quietest of the bunch. Looking to replace my stock system this week, but don't want something loud or that drones at highway speed. Also, need advice on wether to...

Just found out today my rear main seal is leaking. My car was a first production run (bought it in June) and it has 11,000 miles on it. (Vin 1391) Thing is: it was one of the cars with the driveline vibe. (Wasn't that fun going thru last summer? I had two replacement DS's put on it last...

I almost hate to ask this, but has anyone come across mudflaps that don't look completely like crap on our cars. Coming out of this particularly ugly winter, we've got alot of rubble around on hte roads here and I'm pretty worried about my rear quarterpanels. Hopefully someone's found...

Here's what I've been doing: Hold it around 1500-1700rpm. Baby it off the line. Ease into the gas until about 3000rpm. By 4000rpm I'm WOT for the rest of 1st gear. Partial-lift on the 1st to 2nd shift. Get back to WOT asap. Powershift 2nd to 3rd. Powershift 3rd to 4th. That...

Slip clutch from 1700rpm? Slip from 2500rpm? Drop it from 2000rpm? I'm running a friend in an 00 SS next weekend at a track thats known for crappy prep. He's run a G-Tech best of 12.54 when he didn't spin his tires. He's running the exact same tires and size I am: Eagle F1, 274/40ZR-17...

If someone has a page with the day's results, I'd appreciate a link. Would like to post it on my site.

Can anyone who's painted their hood blanket recommend a good paint to use? Heat resistant, long lasting, etc. I did the hood mod too late, after several weeks of rain and several good washes I already had visible water damage. I am looking for a good black paint to use, and was thinking...

Anyone have pics of the "Bullet" type shifter ring actually in their Cobra? Can you post the pics if so? I'm still waffling on ordering one. Also, did you get the KarKraft piece or the one from Billetware (I know other "knockoffs" exist, but KarKraft is the Ford supplier for the...

Sorry this is short. I spent forever typing in a nice long eloquent and descriptive narrative and it ate my post!!! Arrrg. So, long story short: I raced an SS tonight. Pulled it and passed it (starting from behind) by fourth gear. Good race, great fun, cool guy. Here's the question: We...

Have a chance to dyno my car tomorrow on a chassis dyno. (Not sure the type yet). Question is, how do the numbers from the DynoJet and a Mustang Dyno differ?

Ok, I know this will be a goofy question, but does anyone else's Cobra smell of "ode de' skunk"? I got this smell from the car quite abit when I first got it, its now got 1200 miles on it and I still occasionally get it. Is it something curing or breaking in?

I've yet to do the hood blanket mod. We've had a few really hard rains here recently, and I already notice some water discoloration on the hood blanket. Do ya think I'll be able to pitch this as a warranty replacement request? Get a spiffy new blankee and cut out that one? I'm just...

What's the general consensus on the 03's skidpad numbers? I've seen a couple.

Can anyone reccommend a good locking gas cap for the 03? I don't want a locking gas cap door, but the cap itself, as I don't want to change the car's lines. But I am really nervous about having a non-locked gas cap.

Long story short - I picked up a Mineral Grey coupe across town last night. This morning Krieger Ford calls and tells me my Black Coupe is in. DOH! Stupid out-of-date VOPC system! So, there is an unspoken-for 2003 Black Cobra Coupe - Graphite inserts to be had for MSRP at Krieger Ford...
