Thanks for the help guys. Been doing a bit of research and you've all hit it on the head, need to upgrade dang near most of the driveline to support 600 plus hp (recently went for a ride in one with about 500, DAMN!!!) which I've come to the conclusion is probably too much and nearly unusable...

OK guys, I have an absolutely BEAUTIFUL '01 Mineral Grey Cobra Vert that I've thought about selling but really could never bring myself to do so. BS on the selling thing and lets make this thing faster!!!! Here's my question: I'm a 40 something dork but can appeciate HP (my company car is a...

My boss bought a new 05 Saleen (not supercharged), drove it last night. I wasn't allowed to take it over 4 grand due to break-in but I gotta say I wasn't that impressed at all with the performance vs. my '01 Cobra. I gotta admit it looks great though. Very solid and the seats were GREAT vs...

Call Matthew @ Thunderracing.com. Full Bassani Exhaust for my '01 Cobra, (stainless catted X-Pipe, Stainless catback) $1032.75 plus $41.00 shipping. This was a "blow-out" price. Their service was excellent, shipping took only 2 days via UPS, they emailed me tracking info upon ordering...

Hey Z. I bought an '01 Cobra Convertible exactly a year ago. First Mod was a Pro 5.0 shifter, an absolute must. I'm an old fart so power wasn't the primary motivation on mod decisions. Eibach ProKit and 18" wheels came next, they really set off the stance and overall appearance (picture...

2001 Cobra Vert, Eibach ProKit, 18 x 9 front, 18 x 10 rear Bullitts. Handling is a bit stiffer but not bad.

Pro 5.0, I couldn't beleive the improvement. Eibach Prokit dropped mine about 1 1/2" which was perfect for my car and wheels (18").

You Guys hit it on the head, I really appreciate it. I was actually going to pull the covers today anyway suspecting what you pointed out was the culprit. That rear plug well was about half full of water/coolant so I'm guessing the wire grommet seal was probably not sitting correctly from the...

Yep, I'm an idiot. Here's what happened; I have an 01 Cobra, after messing around a week or so ago with another guy on the road I noticed a coolant smell. Apparently a too long stud on the upper passenger side of the firewall had been pressing and rubbing on one of the coolant lines that run...

I bought my 01 vert last November from a guy in Cleveland. After the transaction I got in it and headed South for home, got caught in a Ice/Snow storm. After toughing it out for about 30 (passing a couple of dozen accidents along the way) miles I was damn lucky to make it to a hotel without...

Last November I paid $22k for a pristine 01 vert with 6800 miles. I drove 250 miles to get it. (buying a convertible in the winter probably helped) I agree with the other guys, no more than $20k.

Just another guy chiming in to do it yourself. Borrow the spring compressor from Autozone and get a buddy. I did my Eibach set on my 01 vert by myself (you really should have 2 guys) in 4 to 5 hours and I'm no mechanic. Follow the above instruction link closely taking your time and it should...

The front struts simply unbolted from the spindles. The lower control arm then simply was lowered down (with a jack) and the springs were easily popped out with a pry bar. The top of the struts didn't need removing. I also used the instructions featuring a white Cobra convertible. Run a...

Borrow the spring compressor from Autozone (it's free after you return it) and get a buddy to give you a hand some weekend. I put in an Eibach Prokit in my 01 vert 3 months ago by myself (having help would of been a plus) in 5 hours and I'm definitely not Mr. Mechanic. The rear IRS was...

I just dropped my 2001 Cobra Vert 2 weeks ago with an Eibach Pro Kit. I did it myself (I would recommend getting a buddy to help) in about 5 hours taking my time. I did not use CC plates since a couple a alignment shops told me they wouldn't be necessary with a 1 1/2" drop. I also have 18"...

I just lowered my 2001 Cobra Convertible with an Eibach ProKit. I have not taken it in for an alignment yet. The front brakes are making a ringing noise which goes away when I step on the brake pedal. Will the alignment help out with this or did I overtighten the front calipers when I...

I bought an '01 Convertible last November that's perfect with 6K miles, $22K. I looked alot before buying it, there were quite a few very nice hardtops out there for $20K and less with 5K to 20K miles then.

Paid $22k for an 01 Vert with 6k miles last November, it was perfect. No issues, no pinging, a Pro 5.0 shifter was an incredible improvement over the stock shifter.

Insurance Alright, I'm an old fart but this message hit home with me. I sold my 60's muscle car last fall and decided to get something newer. Initially I was going to get a 2 or 3 year old Boxster S or Corvette convertible, I'm 40 with a clean record, married with a multi-car / house discount...
