    Ridiculous Tickets...

    Last month I'm coming down a mile long hill, go around the bend at the bottom and up over the knoll and there sits Mr State Trooper in the weeds. I instinctively spike the brakes as I look down - a little over 65mph - not bad, I'm thinking. I debate putting my (illegally) tinted windows down...

    03/04 Seatbelts

    Wondering if anyone else has a problem with the seatbelts... I'm 5' 4" and the seatbelt literally cuts across my neck and is very uncomfortable to wear. I find myself always leaning to the right and that doesn't even help. The only thing that I can do is to put it down over my shoulder/upper...

    "Winterizing"

    what happened to the search feature? I remember reading a few months back about changing the supercharger oil every year and someone saying to use a turkey baster to siphon it out... but I cannot seem to find any threads at all related to the supercharger. Am I doing something wrong in the...

    "Winterizing"

    It's getting about that time of year to wax up the fair weather vehicle and put it away until next spring. Besides changing the oil and also the supercharger oil and putting it up on blocks in the corner of the garage under a cover, it there anything else recommended to do? I know...

    No better time to buy an 03/04

    I was at the dealer the other day getting a speaker changed and my salesman came out and was talking to me... Said Ford just came out with a $3000 rebate on any leftover 03/04's Can't beat that!

    Cobra may be Totaled

    Wow man, 9COBRA7 was right... consider yourself flamed :nonono: Just because I don't have my damn engine specs memorized does not in any way, shape or form mean that I am not capable of driving my car. Come On! It is 2004, dude! My car is just that... MINE! My fiance had no say in the...

    Oil in the 03/04's

    I've been doing quite a bit of reading here and also on svtperformance.com about oil and the like. I am looking forward to you regular posters opinions... My 03 is only taken out of the garage in nice weather. Last year I only put on 3000 miles, and when I took it off the blocks this...

    Picking up 04 Comp Orange Cobra this week, need advice....

    I would have been thrilled to pay 34K for my 03. My "local" SVT dealer (about 30 miles away from me and the next one after that was a 3 hour drive) said that the X plan wasn't offered on the Cobra's, so I called Ford and they said that it is up to the dealer whether or not they want to honor...

    Any buyer's remorse from 03/04 Cobra owners?

    Yes, I do realized that this was an old thread... but I am at work (10pm on a Saturday night) and I'm bored as he11, so I was reading through the forum. I absolutely love my car and have no regrets whatsoever. When ever I drive it and people look (first at the car and then at me, and then...

    Exhaust... again

    Nice picture :) Now I'm really going to sound like a dummy asking this, but where do the cats fit into all of this? Stock has 4, right? Do the H and/or X pipes eliminate these? (which I don't want to do, although 2 of them should be ok) Or do these H and/or X pipes having nothing to do...

    Exhaust... again

    I have read numerous threads here about exhausts and I've decided to go for it. :D I had posted before saying that I couldn't justify the $ in taking a stock system off that was already stainless, and somebody said that it was low grade and would get surface rust anyhow. Well guess what I...

    Is the catback worth it?????

    cobra90gt... that was an excellent response :nice: you made my decision a whole lot easier (but created another... which catback system to go with) :D I don't expect anyone to tell me, since everyone has their own sound opinion, but I was very happy to hear somebody say "go with the...

    Is the catback worth it?????

    I put a Borla Catback system on my pickup and am totally in love with the sound, so I'm dying to put one on my 03 Cobra but just can't justify the $ when the stock system is stainless from front to back. A Catback system means that it is a complete exhaust from the cats all the way back to...

    I need a good radar detector

    I purchased one of the 8500's about 2 months ago, and my personal feeling is that I wasted $300 or so. Nothing against the model of detector, I think that they are ALL very over-rated. It detects well, especially the satellite signs that PA puts on the roads under construction! Took a road...
