    Layoff forces - 04 Torch Red 27k miles in Tx

    Well, like a lot of folks, layoffs hit at JnJ and I need to try and reduce monthly costs. I've had the car on here before but now I need to sell and get something more sensible for daily use. All stock, no mods ever installed. K&N filter. No rain or bad weather. Very clean. I'm the second...

    Bonneville 130-150 club?

    I watched Wreckreation Nation this weekend and thought I'd like to try this in the Cobra. Take the family - watch some wild rides and try my hand at hitting 130 mph over a mile run. It seems like it would be no problem until you get to reading how squirrelly that salt flat really is. What do...

    Cobra History - have most of you seen this?

    T.O. is gone an I'm LOVIN' it...

    I'm keeping tabs through RotoWorld and it looks like the only teams interested are the Raiders and possibly the 49ers (really? thought Mike was smarter than that) I'm loving the fact that his agent Drew R keeps telling us that "he's as productive a player now as he's ever been"...

    Pulling off the rear deck lid spoiler

    I've seen a couple of Cobras and GTs with a spoiler off the rear deck lid and kinda like the difference in the overall look of the body. How does this come off and anyone have an opinion on the pros and cons? Plus the #$@n brake light keeps breaking.. my 3rd one and not cheap to replace...

    Redfire Vert in Lubbock?

    I cover most of the Panhandle and saw a Redfire vert on Slide next one of my dotors. Anyone here? Looked clean as a whistle... nice ride.

    Which Short Throw Shifter?

    I'm an old Hurst fan but have heard the MGW is ideal for our Cobras. I like the fact that the MGW has more adjustability but I've never been disappointed with the Hurst line of products. What are some of the pros and cons? I talked to several guys who also like the Pro 5.0 shifter. I'm more...

    What's your family's X-mas tradition?

    We have two traditions that we have carried on from our parents. On Christmas Eve we have a group of friends over for our traditional meal of soup and bread. Usually 2-3 pots on the stove at one time, plus a couple dozen tamales. I'm not a big fan of the "bling-bling" Christmas, as I don't...

    WTT: REd 04 Torch Red coupe for 04 Vert?

    Okay - so I originally wanted a vert and talked myself into the coupe because it drove so strong. It's a bone stock 04 Torch Red Coupe with 27k miles and no mods. At 6'4" - it's a little tight but not uncomfortable. I can't bring myself to mod and race it when there are so many other body...

    New photos

    Cleaned up the red rocket and took some better shots. My only plans at this point are to lower with new springs and CAI. Do I need caster/camber plates with new springs?

    Dyno results a bummer

    Even though the car is bone stock, I thought I would get better hp than this. Only about 78 degrees this am. What do you guys think? I figured I'd hit 365-375rwhp I also thought that there was a big gap in the run results. Another guy there (Viper) ran about 530hp and he commented that at...

    Another look

    I've been thinking about acquiring a second hood on doing a flat black treatment like the old Boss 302s Any thoughts? I think it would look pretty hot on a torch red with a light yellow or gray pinstripe

    What IS that noise...

    There seems to be a whine coming from the back of the car. I'm thinking transmission or rear end. I've never had this with my old toploaders and just curious what it might be. Couple of things to consider. 1. No problem in shifting or hitting gears - transmission is smooth 2. Whine is obvious...

    Time to put up or shut up

    :fm: As a new Terminator owner I'm on the verge of completing a family challenge. For several years, my brother in law has boasted about his 66 Corvette convertible - 427 Powerglide auto trans. Corvette specs say 390hp but I'm doubtful as my old Hipo 289 was rated at 271hp but was more like...

    New Cobra owner in DFW

    Got directed here from another forum. New to the Terminators but have had dozens of vintage ponies. Got to the point if I'm going to spend $20k-$25k I'd rather ride in cold air, better suspension, MUCH faster and more than a bit intimidating. Here's the new ride I picked up on 6-24. Original...
