    Purge the Nitrous out of the snakes mouths?

    If you have a 98 Cobra, why not purge out of the snouts on your hood? I think that would be the baddest mofo off all.

    $15k for a 99 cobra?

    That's a great price. I bought mine at 37k stock for $15.5, but that was about 1.5 yrs ago. Car sales have hit a recent slump, for some odd reason. June was a ****ty month for the major manufacturers. I would think it would sell in the summer especially quick, since it is a sports car...

    P0174 engine code..what are causes??

    I have a SINGLE engine code, P0174 (only one bank is lean, driver's side...), and was wondering what the cause of it might be? I've checked for loose vacuum hoses, reattached any that I've found, reset engine 3 separate times, switched the mils/rear 02s with no luck. What else could it be...

    03 Cobra in the shop again!

    Well, since you gave me 2.5x what I was asking for...;) Yes, the are independently owned. But does that really matter? Look at it like this, Bose (the home audio masters) implements STRICT control over the sale of THEIR product. They only sell it to those companies that are willing to sell...

    IRS gear install - do-it-yourselfer?

    I am wondering how hard it is to install gears myself? I mean, I have mech know-how, I've worked on my car before. I am going to install 4.56s, anything I need to know? I also have friends that would help me out that have some experience with this as well. What all is difficult? Thanks!

    What would it take to beat a corvette?

    Not necessarily..if you have the proper gears, you don't need nearly as much power. That is, if by 'beat' you mean at a stoplight/dragstrip...

    What would it take to beat a corvette?

    He must have had an empty cylinder or something, cause your mods shouldn't put you in the ballpark with a C5...

    New Owner

    Welcome. Now, know that I hate you because your car is: 1) New 2) Much faster than mine 3) Much easier to mod than my own. With that said, WILLKOMEN!!:)

    superchargers

    Yes,no,depends. Superchargers have what is called 'parasitic drag'. This is just another example of something taking away power because force is needed to turn the supercharger, even when it is not applying boost. So, no, it burns gas when it is not being used (more than if the sc were not...

    Suggested strut tower brace?

    How's the install on these? Do I have to do a lot of drilling/cutting? If it connects to the firewall I would assume so, but you know about assumptions.. EDIT: nevermind,found it

    Suggested strut tower brace?

    I dunno, I might go for one here shortly (have to reward myself for graduation and my healing broken leg somehow, right?). So which ones should I be looking for and why? I've seen something about one that was bad and I forgot the reason..lot of help, right?

    Muffler Flow Rates

    Maybe his cats took a **** into his mufflers :shrug: By the way, I looove my magnaflow catback. It is only mildly quieter than not having any catback at all. :tup:

    To 'vert or not to 'vert...

    I know you already bought the car and all, but I will forever steer clear of 'verts. I had an aftermarket sunroof (not a convertible) installed on my cobra and my car had virtually no solidity in turns. The sunroof also caused the paint to pop off the top of my car.:grrr:

    03 Cobra in the shop again!

    Maybe so, but I was talking about ford. I figured ford would have the common sense to keep their flagship car afloat. I mean, its not like the mustang has really been new or has any new innovations for the last decade. Besides IRS that is, but that has been available on other rwd V8 cars...

    03 Cobra in the shop again!

    Wow, I thought probes were the only cars that avoided ford dealerships like the plague... I am really surprised. Mustang is the flagship of the Ford line, yet all of these mustang owners refuse to go there for service!! I know that as a former probe owner (pro-boner) I had the local...

    Why do people pay 250,000+_ for a car

    Not everyone cares about speed. For instance, my wife decided to purchase a Honda, obviously NOT about speed, for its reliability and her comfort. I dare say that a $250k car would be a tad bit more reliable (at least it should be...) than our ~$30k cars. Also, those that do purchase...
