    Poll: 01 Cobra or 03 Cobra Top Choice

    If they could only have figured out a way to keep the Italian made Aluminum block when they did the '03 it would have been the perfect car. That's right, the '01's Aluminum block motor is made in the same Italian factory as many of Ferrari’s parts are.

    Top Speed of 2001 Cobra

    My Excursion was "limited" to around 90. I guess Ford didn't want almost 8,000 lbs of Ford Product to go any faster.

    2001 Cobra Common Problems?

    42,000 miles and counting. The only problem I had was at about 20,000 miles I developed a hesitation sensation. Turned out to be the pinion gear had not been installed properly and was catching the side of the housing, causing the car to lurch as it was slowed by the friction. Dealer fixed it...

    99 Cobra VS 2001 Cobra

    I have not heard of a broken 3650 in my area. Only half shafts which have nothing to do with the tranny and everything to do with poor half shafts. The only issue I have heard is a hard shift issue which I don't have. Nor does anyone else I know. Those who did have the 2-3 hard to shift...

    In this case the quality lawyer really doesn't matter. Courts will almost always side with the consumer.

    Chin spoiler for '01 Cobra?

    To install the Mach1 Chin Spoiler you have to drill the holes in your front cover and install with whatever hardware you come up with. I used the plastic push retainers. That way I can remove if I want and reinstall.

    Pulleys and Warranty issues...

    My car was denied. They didn't even use the WDS. Took one look at the "FORD" Cobra R hood and decided it was modded and they didn't have to provide service. I later found a law via an attorney (sorry can't remember the name of the law) but it basically said no manufacturer can deny warranty...

    Top Speed of 2001 Cobra

    Funny thing...I rented a 5 Series BMW one week and a Nissan Maxima the next in Germany a couple of years ago. Took both cars to the rev limiter and was still getting blown away by little 190 Mercedes. What do they feed those things?

    99 Cobra VS 2001 Cobra

    Please, if you don't know what your talking about with regard to the difference between the T45 and the 3650 don't confuse the issue. No way the T45 was/is more durable. It is clearly inferior to the 3560 and the 31 spline setup. Get the '01.

    Mach1 chin spoiler does work, but it leaves a small gap at the rear of the spoiler on either side at the fender unless you move it back from flush at the front.
