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...
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?
Just an update for those of you that were following the incident that happened with my car. The search feature is down so I can't link you.
Well it's been about 3 months since the motor blew up and I finally have it back. She's looking pretty and running great. I can't wait til she's broken...
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"...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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?
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...
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...
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...

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.
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...
Couple questions:
1) What do you think of the chrome/reflective bumper inserts for a Redfire Cobra?
2) What about flat silver instead?
3) Where should I look to order and
4) Where is the best site for "dress up" interior accessories and whatnot?
Thanks.
Ok well dammit I had to leave my car out yesterday and yes, it SNOWED. Unbelievable. Anyway, the ice caked on and I got most of it off, but today when I had to drive in I didn't scrape the snow off from the hood and top because it might have scratched the paint I figured it would melt off or...
I noticed that on 3 of my 4 wheels have a circular ring about a few inches from the center of the wheel that is a scratch - no doubt about it. Perfect circle on all 3 but one of them has a much bigger "gouge" like scratch on it instead of the light scratch on the others. I'll take pictures...
Well I was a bit surprised and the #'s look ok!
We were having a "dyno day" for our local club and the boys were able to squeeze me in.
My only mods are:
MAC off-road H-pip
MAC cat-back
Johnny Lightning Performance CAI.
I have a shifter, new bushings, and subframes but those don't...
Do any of you run with the boost bypass disabled?
Can anyone here elaborate on the pros/cons or anything else you can tell me about this? I had a friend that owns a Lightning briefly tell me about it and want more input from an actual '03 Cobra owner.
I'm curious:
1) How many runs at the track do you have on your car?
- In mostly STOCK form (exhaust and intake)
- In modified form (everything else)
2) How many parts have broken or you've had to replace?
Leave mods listed as well please.
Thank you.
With all the crap I keep reading I’m beginning to think it was a mistake to get this car!
Everyone makes them out to be so fragile.
My 2000 and 1987 GT's have seen hundreds of runs and it's great fun. I was HOPING to have fun with this car as well BUT...
I like going fast. I like drag...
Hello guys I am creating a web page and database to log and track modifications and performance #’s of the 2003 Cobras. It will be searchable and graphable so you can easily research it all. I am designing the input form right now and am trying to think of everything I could possibly ask as far...
Friend has a Lightning and is upgrading his pulley and will give me his for free. Want to know what size it is so I can know if I want to use it. Thanks.
I was thinking about selling my factory wheels to help offset the cost of newer, wider ones such as the AFS's everyone seems to be getting. Those of you that have replaced them, did you keep your stock wheels? Would getting rid of them depreciate the resell value of the car much?
