    Not happy with forum organization

    As a long time forum participant (about 1100 posts), have to say I am frustrated with current forum organization. I am sick of polls, and waste a lot of time going to the subforum topics, all of which I regularly read. I suggest making a subtopic for polls and putting all the subforums back...

    ABS and autocross

    Got to do some autocross this week in my Cobra, and noticed that ABS tended to trigger when I was trail braking and starting to turn in (even if I didn't trigger it on initial straight braking). Car seemed to do fine and was very stable, but not nearly as tossable as Viper that I drove that had...

    How to remove side scoops

    Doing some fiddling with new side scoops. How do you remove them without scraping or bending anything? Can't find any instructions in the Factory Service Manual. Are attached with clips that have serrated pins in body and groove that scoop slides into. Also, what's safest way to install new...

    Side scoop inserts

    Anyone know of a source for stock Cobra side scoop inserts (the fake black piece) or something aftermarket? Not sold separately by Ford. Lost a side scoop and was able to get new set in my color, but they have the GT fake mesh. Remember seeing somewhere a vendor who sells an aluminum insert...

    Had a fallen tree branch snag and destroy my right side scoop yesterday. It's gone. Searched the web and couldn't find internet dealer who sells side scoop painted Sonic Blue. Also couldn't find any aftermarket scoops other than louvered ones as part of Steeda kit. Anyone know if...

    New SVT lease plan-- what does it mean?

    Saw this posted at SVTOA site-- memo from Tom Scarpello. Clearly new Cobra is to be a 2007, not 2006, with "target date" of June, 2006. Residual is 58% after 30 months. Sounds kinda low?? What do folks think of all this? To: All SVT Dealers Subject: SVT PowerLease Program 2004 SVT...

    Crazy Auto Show description of 2005 Mustang GT!

    Went to Philadelphia Auto Show today. "Talking head" promoting the new Mustang GT was bragging that this car had the "biggest displacement" rear end ever on a Mustang at 3.53 to 1!!! LOL!! I didn't even try to say anything. They build a great product, but, man, they always seem to have a...

    Super Bowl Ford GT commercial

    Heard there will be 1 run of an incredible Ford commercial starring the GT during today's broadcast. Supposed to set up an aura for the company, just like the famous Apple ad 20 years ago. Can't wait-- might be better than the game!!!

    How to remove Zaino to fix a scratch

    Finally have a big scratch that I need to sand, paint and finish. Always heard it's hard to remove Zaino from the area. I assume I have to sand down into the clear coat to get it off. Anyone know of any other safe way?

    Great dyno numbers with simple mods

    First dyno today, at NMRA meet at Atco. Dynojet set up from Werx Motorsports. Dyno seemed accurate, with most guys geting numbers less than they got from their tuners. With just PHP cold air intake and Magnaflow catback (no baffles), I got 410 HP SAE, with 366 lb-ft torque. HP was still...

    After-market chips and emissions testing?

    Just read that Pennsylvania is going to replace tail pipe/dynamometer emissions tests with OBD II readouts in high pollution counties, such as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh areas. Will apply to 1996 and after cars. Anyone know technology of this, and whether this might be a problem with after...

    ? Zaino on wheels

    Does Zaino work well on wheels, which get pretty hot from the brakes when we drive hard? In the past I have done well with Mequairs on my wheels, but want to make sure Zaino won't go bad with heat.

    Shift Knob for MGW Handle?

    Very happy with MGW handle I just installed on stock shifter-- shifter feels and sounds like a rifle bolt and knob is much easier to reach. However, I'm not happy with stock knob as MGW rotates it back, making the grip angle wrong with palm pushing on shfit patten inset rather than leather, and...
