    Warranty On Paint

    I know that this is an older thread, but I'll add to it. The bubbling of paint on the front edge and even the sides of the hood was a problem that was fixed under a TSB. Something about water migrating into the hood under the seam causing the paint to bubble. It can get bad enough to affect...

    Need Insight From Terminator Guys

    Seems a bit much for the mileage. Mods are nice, though. Looks it has been taken care of nicely. Don't understand the Boost-a-Pump. If you are going to add all that power, why not go with better fuel pumps? That would be the first thing that I would change. Either way, it has the mods on...

    2013 V6... 16 Mpg?

    Auto or stick? My '11 'vert with the manual has averaged around 21mpg. My best is 34 on the turnpike going from Toledo to Atlantic City. My worst was around 15 in stop and go driving out east. Most of the time it is in the high teens and low twenties. Beats my '03 Cobra 'vert which is...

    03 cobra makes it to 300k

    Real nice. Mine is at 94,000. Bought brand new as a factory order. New clutch and rear gears, but otherwise stock. To get to where you are, I will have to drive it another 23 or so years. Oy!

    That is way too much money. Find a friend and do it yourself. It isn't too difficult.

    1999 Cobra Battery/ Starting Problems

    The alternator fried on my '03. I went the cheap route and had it rebuilt. Fried again in less than a year while on vacation. Went with a PA Performance 135 amp. Great piece with a lifetime warranty.

    2010 V6 VS 2012 V6 (My impressions)

    I agree with you about the shifter. It isn't very accurate. I feel like an amatuer when I am trying to downshift. It isn't very positive at all. It is probably due to the semi-remote set-up. The MGW in my '03 is a can't miss. I guess that will have to get used to it.

    2013

    It is pretty cool. As I said, it is a bit much, but the wasy it appears to color shift is neat.

    I Have $4000 How Should I Spend It?

    I know that the old V6 in the Shelby Terlingua and CS6 were running around 375hp. It is basically the same engine that is in my '02 Exploder. I can't see them out-running my '03 Cobra. I'm sure that some are really built, but those are probably not too common. I know that the new motor does...

    MT-82 Transmission Whine and Rear End High Speed Whine

    I was just goofin'. That is the next investment for my '03 Cobra. My original needs to be rebuilt again. They are around $2,800 or so. Either way, good luck.

    2013

    The 'Gotta Have It' green is really bright. There is one at my dealer. It kind of color-shifts. It is pretty cool, really, but a bit much for me.

    Need V6 Opinions

    Get the V6. It is a nice car. The Performance Pack give it some nice kick. Probably as good or better as my old '99 Cobra.

    2010 V6 VS 2012 V6 (My impressions)

    I got a '11 V6 'vert as my second car. The old engine was 210/240 compared to 305/280. The new motor needs a bit more revs to get going, I think, because the power and torque come in at a much higher rpm. You can't get the Performance Package on the 'vert, so I am stuck with the highway...

    I Have $4000 How Should I Spend It?

    Trade it in for a 2012. Even better, a low mileage '11. You'll have a better car with a better motor. That old lump that they called an engine can't compare to a new 5.0 even with a blower on it.

    MT-82 Transmission Whine and Rear End High Speed Whine

    Time to rid yourself of that crappy MT-82 and get a T-56 Magnum. I get gear whine from the 3.73s in my '03 Cobra that wasn't there with the 3.55s. Don't know why. Could be the pitch of the gears. Maybe it would even be louder with 3.90s or higher. Who knows? Either way, good luck.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    My '99 Cobra 'vert got between 29 and 30 on the expressway running around 70mph. My '03 Cobra 'vert gets around 22 to 24 at the same speed. My '11 V6 'vert gets between 30.5 and 32.5 and is now my preferred car for travel.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    My best mileage on my '11 V6 'vert was 32.6 coming back from Atlantic City two days ago. The average on the highway both directions was 31.82. This includes virtually stopped traffic from the Valley Forge exit on the PA Turnpike all the way to the AC Expressway with a little break from the...

    My 5.1 Stroker, F1-A Procharged 03 Cobra

    Nice looking car, that is for sure. The polished lip on the rims looks out of place, though, with all of that other stuff blacked-out. Either way, great job! :flag::nice:

    Selling my Carbon Fiber interior

    Are these for a 'vert? I am looking for window switch-plates in cf and I can't seem to find them. Most everybody sells billet stuff, but I think that the carbon fiber plates with billet switches look real good. My '03 was vandalized a couple of years ago and I put the stock interior trim...

    Worried about my 04 Cobra

    I wouldn't worry about what some Bozo said. My '03 is just turning 79,000 miles with no issues. It is all original except for the brake pads , which are now Raybestos ceramic and one rear rotor. Have fun with it. Maintain it right and it will reward you with plenty of driving pleasure...
