The T56's in the 03/04 Cobras make a ton of noise. They even make a weird "whirring" noise when the clutch is released and the car is in neutral. Unless it seems performance is suffering, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Don't worry about it, I agree it's probably machining oil and grease burning off of the exhaust components. If you buy an aftermarket cat back, it will do the same. I put a 3" Mac catback on my 03 Cobra 2 months ago and I still smell a burning oil smell sometimes (basically because the car...

Those do look cool, but I hope they do something different with the rims. Those bullit rims are available on almost everything. The SN95 Roush rims were very cool. I would think they could top that with something even better?

It looks like a lot of you '05 owners that were dogging the Terminators for having quality problems are going to have to belly up to the bar now... :) Face it, it's the first year run of a brand new platform and many problems are going to be found and fixed for the '06 models. Us '03 Cobra...

Sounds like something is wrong with your tune in the PCM or maybe a bad knock sensor isn't adjusting the timing correctly. You shouldn't have any pinging whatsoever. Take it in ASAP.

Wow, a whopping 3 posts from this nerd... but he's owned a stang for 3 years... BS I say.

If you don't like the stock HP rating, then use mods to bump up the HP. That's why the aftermarket exists and thrives so well, plus it's fun to do. That's all part of the Mustang experience. Ford keeps the Mustangs reasonably priced with moderate HP because they know people are going to...

I used to be an LS1 guy before I converted to Ford. My LS1 (and almost anyone I knew that had one) had piston slap issues... GM claimed it to be normal and wouldn't do jack about it. Every morning it sounded like gravel was in the engine... how that is normal is beyond me. After I got...

LS1=Piston slapping piece of crap

Good question, I wondered that myself. I assume it was a Dynojet because they normally clarify the fact when a Mustang Dyno is used. But, they didn’t specifically state which one…

The latest issue of 5.0SF dynoed a bone stock GT and the best they could do was 245 RWHP. A tune gave them an extra 25 RWHP I think. I agree, the later models will increase in HP. Also, Ford typically underrates their engines... probably to save us all with the insurance bill. I know my...

I’m just glad that thread over there on the S197 forum has died off. In the future, I’m going to let them tell their ricer type lies about Terminators and live in their own little world. I’ll be looking for any opportunity to prove one of them wrong if I see them out and about. :D

Sorry man, I'm not trying to get you to leave StangNet, and I hope you stay. My point is... you've bought a bad ass car... and I agree it's awesome. Please quit knocking SVT and every other Mustang on the planet. This board is nowhere near biased towards SVT. Most of us have been members...

Yes, they are noisy. I took mine in as well, and they said it was fine. When I went to pick it up, they drove me around in a new '04 Cobra on the lot, and it did the same thing.

That's a lie... I didn't misquote you. I quoted your original post directly as it was written, and that is how your post came across with the interpretation of the reader... that you've had several "similar incidents" of someone street racing with you. Sorry, I'm not trying to ruin your...

I think most of them over there are pissed that they have the newest Mustang out there and they are still slower than the older stock Cobras… and they won’t get as fast as the older Cobras that are modded unless they dump some serious ass cash into the car. Most of them are SN95 bashing just...

Congrats.

Oh yea right… just like Ford supposedly fixed the cylinder head problem on the 03 Cobras at least 4 times, and Ford dealerships were still replacing cylinder heads all over the place. And, this problem eventually migrated to even some of the 04 Cobra’s. Hell, Ford has problems with their...

Well, well... it looks like all this BS you've (Stang2k5) been spouting off about the quality of the 05's being so much better than the SN95's with less problems could be a myth. Gee, check this thread out... looks like they are having problems with defective cylinder heads too. Same thing...

I'm really hoping I get such an incident with you, because you'll get a good look at my tail lights from many car lengths away. Your bashing of the SN95 Cobras has you needing a street spankin'. By the way, your sig. is ghey!! :rolleyes:
