im hoping the 3 row rad and 180 t stat will be enough, I would rather not tune the car as of yet.You guys that think you are running hot, putting in a 160-degree t-stat and lowering your fan-on temperature will cool things down
You're not alone in being a first time Cobra Owner, me too!
First time I got on the highway and hit 5th gear I noticed how warm mine got I was freaking out lol. Came here and found it's pretty typical for the needle to sit on or near the "A" in Normal on the temp gauge.
"A" wouldnt bother me so much (although, between "R" and "M" would be ideal), it's when I start going into the "L" that I get concerned. To be fair it's been 90+ degrees here in New York and have a heavy foot.
Oh, so true! I love that this car is rather rare. I've only seen one other 96-98 SN95 in the last 3 months out here, and it was a GT.Love the cobra though, it definitely sparks conversations in almost any parking lot Lol.
As much as I love the Edge, these Cobras are WAY cooler, imo.
TBH, I wouldNT touch ANYTHING after 04 at the latest, Mustang or otherwise. Cars kinda suck now, too much electronics, too much gadgetry takes away from the driving experience. I had a 2016 challenger Scat Pack six speed with 485 hp, and I could tell you that without a shadow of the doubt, this stock cobra is more enjoyable.
