Some details on the car... Mileage is 77,400 - almost all highway miles. Used it to commute to work mostly and when mileage got to around 65K miles I bought a new car and kept the Cobra in the garage. Then put the rest of the miles over the last 9 years only driving it for a cruise on nice days...

Interior reminds me of the Terminator...except the dash has real oil pressure, temp and voltage gauges.... those and the Heads Up Display is all I was looking for. I just drive it for fun on weekends... If you're looking for a DD with a luxurious interior this car ain't it!
You make a valid point. But C6 does look better than the C5. No more pop up headlights and the rear flows a lot better. Guy I bought the car from hated the C7 rear end styling and bought a mint C6 ZR1 instead as an upgrade. C7 interior is a significant improvement. Almost bought a C7 Z but the...
No problem ricardoa1! I live in "Silicon Valley" and lots of home owners here have loans above a million dollars! Its nuts, I know... The interest paid and reported on form 1098 is often over 50K. There are 7 tax brackets with the top 2 rates being 35% and 39.6%. Using 35% of 50K means saving...

Paying off your mortgage is not bad advice but it may not be the best advice for everyone. In my case, I have a mortgage that is less than 3% and the interest is tax deductible. My equity is around 75% versus the loan amount because I bought in a good neighbor hood and spent a lot of my time and...
I've read some post refering to the "stalling problem"... Does anyone have the scoop on this? I have to be careful when I take off from a stop or the car will stall? Is this the issue? I thought it might be because of the stiffer clutch gripping too well stalling the motor. If there's a fix for...
I usually post on BON but think this board is pretty cool - especialy the 03 forum. Anyway, I took some photos of the 03 I just picked up and thought I'd cut & paste my post here:
