[QUOTE="ZincYellowCobra, post: 136264, member: 4214"] I can sum it up into 2 words - [b][i]WHEEL HOP[/i][/b]. The 99 and 01 Cobras have it bad. I have a friend with an 03 - who has virtually no wheel hop. I decided to read up on it and it seems that Ford made a few changes to the 03's - changes that work.. The bad thing is, you can not get those parts from Ford - not yet anyway - at least that is what my service guy @ Tommie Vaughn Ford is telling me.. As far as my snake goes - an IRS brace, stiffer springs and polyurethane differential bushings will be my next mods. I just got a set of nittos for the rear but I haven't had a dry day to test them out at the track...
