I have a guy trying to sell me a 99 Cobra. I don't know a lot about them and was wondering if some one could give me some info.
Thanks

horsepower 316 @ 6,000 rpm 320 after fix (mine is 363 minor upgrades)
torque 316 lb/ft @ 4,750 rpm
double overhead camshafts
four valves per cylinder
final stock gear 3.27
all-speed traction control
13.0 in front Brembo disc brakes
11.65 in rear vented discs
ABS brakes
independent rear suspension

6-way power driver seat, rear window defrost, air cond, speed control,
Mach 460 AM/FM cass & CD player, remote keyless entry
top speed 150 MPH

*The above info was original factory info.
There was a recall by Ford because the 99 Cobra did not meet advertised horsepower. Most of the cars have had this "fix" done by Ford and you can find out by getting ahold of Ford. They replaced the lower intake manifold, replaced the muffler assemblies, and reflashed the powertrain control module. After the fix the car has performed as good or better than advertised.
I have a 99 Cobra with 30,000 miles and highly recommend it.

O.k. I know I am digging out an oooooooooooold thread here, but...

I bought a 1999 Cobra Crate Engine from Ford Racing Performance Parts. (The engine was shipped from FRPP later than 1999).
Can I assume that this motor had the performance fix, ahem, "program" already installed?
How do I tell a lo-power 1999 manifold from a hi-po one?

Thanks!

Check the driver's side manifold - you should see either a green dot (acid dip) or a blue dot (extrude honed). If either color dot is on the manifold, it indicates that your manifold is a "post-fix" version.
