    96-98 MAC O/R H-pipe

    SmithCobra95 is right, Mac stuff is total garbage. If you buy anything from Mac you will quickly regret it, trust us. :D

    Another pathetic newbee asking for assistance

    A 96 Cobra for $6000? I'd go over it with a fine tooth comb (of course you should do that with any used car) That price seems $2000-3000 low to me... even if it is a little ragged out. :shrug:

    Cobra, 5.0 or 4.6

    5.0's are easier/cheaper to work on and modify than 4.6's, and a little more torquey "feeling" (not actually more torquey) But the 4.6 is simply a superior motor, light years ahead technologically, has more hp potential, has an unstoppable 7000 rpm redline, and has over time been proven to be...

    Stupid banjo bolt/brake question time... (oh goodie!)

    I'm doing a brake overhaul on my 98 Cobra... painting calipers, installing speed bleeders, new pads, and SS braided lines. Since the calipers had to be painted and SS lines installed, I just plugged the hard line and removed the front calipers completely from the car. Now, stupid question...

    96-98 Cobra block limitations

    All of the above by Tat98cobra is 100% true (although in my opinion the estimates are a little high, more like $20-24,000 in the end.) However, the 03's (as bad-ass as they are) are ugly as shi-at when compared to the 96-98's. I just can't bring myself to do it. There I have said it...

    96-98 Cobra block limitations

    up to 400 rwhp...safe 400-440 rwhp...relatively safe with a good tune and/or cooling mods. 440-480 rwhp...even with a dead on tune and cooling, you're pushing it! 480 rwhp or higher...save up for a new motor, you're going to need it. Good luck.

    I need a good radar detector

    Well, when I went to post my last response, I discovered my account has been disabled at some point between yesterday and this morning, so I have had to re-register and my post count is back to 1. Great! If I disappear again you guys send Starsky out to find out what happened to me...

    I need a good radar detector

    Yeah, good observation Starsky. But I come by it honestly, allow me to elaborate... I've had a TN. state trooper pull me over and respond to my greeting of "Hello friend" with "I'm not your damn friend". Needless to say that didn't turn out to be an enjoyable experience for either of us...
