    Price on 2004 Cobra

    I'm thinking of buying a Cobra. With x-plan and rebates (3000 + 500 military discount) I should be able to get one for about $30,000. Would that be a good deal? If I do get one, I'd like to fly up to Oregon to get one tax free. I was hoping that I could sell my car for about $16000-$17000...

    Mach 1/Bullitt Shift Knob won't fit Triax

    So now what do I do? Is the triax threaded different than the stock handle? Do they make bullitt shift knobs that fit the triax? This is a ford part that is supposed to fit 1999-2004 shifters. I don't understand why the stock knob fits but this doesn't. Thanks for any help.

    Dyno #'s in!!!...Can I beat a Mach???

    Finally went to a dyno today. On my final run, after tweaking my A/F with my remote optimizer, I got 277rwhp (stayed there from 5000-5500rpm). My peak torque was 313 @ 4200 rpm. My A/F ratio was pretty constant with a low of 13.1 and high of 15.0 . My A/F at peak HP was 13.5. The temperature...

    BBK L/Ts Installed- Best Mod Yet!!!!!

    I got the ceramic coated BBKs for $400 on ebay (brand new). Me and a friend finally got around to installing them. Took us 10 hours over a 2 day period on a chasis lift in the Auto Hobby shop (nice being in the military). Only spent $25 for use of the lift. Anyways, we ended up using the BBK...

    Rear Bullitt/Cobra Brakes

    Is it true that you have to remove the axles to install the rear bullitt/cobra brake kit? If so, how hard is this to do? BTW, I know installing them on the rear won't really improve braking performance. I would be doing it for aesthetics only to match the front.

    L/Ts and Magnaflow X w/cats

    I want to get BBK L/Ts but I'm not thrilled about taking off my $400 magnaflow X w/ cats just to buy another mid-pipe so it will fit the long tubes. If I put the long tubes on myself, would a good muffler shop be able to cut my x-pipe and flange the ends so it bolts up to the collectors on the...

    Running out of bolt-ons...

    Who here is running out of bolt-ons like me? See the mods in my sig... I've done almost every bolt-on to my GT and I still want it faster. The only things I still want are headers, supercharger, p&p heads, bigger brakes and possibly a dyno tune. UCA's and LCA's are a possibility but I'm more...

    can bullitt front brakes be used on the rear?

    I've noticed the front bullitt brake kit costs the same as the rear kit. But the front kit has twin piston calipers and bigger rotors. So could I buy two front brake kits and use them all the way around? I think the 13" rotors would look great in the rear, plus I'd have twin pistons for the...

    Does a Superchips tune remain adaptive?

    I just programmed my car with the 1725 microtuner and I think it's causing detonation. I think my car has been lean ever since I put the plenum and throttle body on because I got the "marbles in a tin can" sound going up hills in 5th gear. So I started using 89 octane and it seemed to cure...

    Magnaflow vs. Flowmaster

    I have been reading on this forum that Flowmasters may actually hurt power over stock mufflers. I currently have the 3 chambered Force II cat back. I love the sound- very muscular and throaty, even at idle- slight drone at 2000 rpm. But could they be costing me horsepower? Should I switch to...

    Show off your painted side views!

    I think painted side mirrors would look great on my zinc yellow gt. Those of you who have done this, show 'em off. Also, how did you do it, and how much did it cost...
