    Severe Tire Spin while going uphill

    Here's the deal. The parking garage where I work has a high angle drive. In order not to scrape my front end on the incline, I go in at an angle. However, when I go in at angle one rear tire spins excessively trying to go up the drive. When the weight is on three tires. I know this is...

    Cobra Driven Randomly by SVT Management?

    I bought my 04 with 48 miles on it. The dealer said they don't let anyone test drive the Cobras so I wondered how it 48 miles on it. When we were doing the paper work they give me a card from SVT that says that the SVT Management test drove my car before it left the Dearborn plant. Did anyone...

    Difference in DOHC Fuel Injection?

    I just sold my 2003 Mach1 for a 2004 Cobra. My mach1 had a serious clicking noise at idle. I took it to the dealer and they tell me that the clicking was normal fuel injection clicking (I knew that fuel injection clicked a bit), but I notice now that the DOHC in my Cobra doesn't click at all...

    How Long did it take?

    How long did it take you to get used to the 6 speed? I've owned a 04 GT and a 03 Mach1 which both had 5 speeds (and every other manual car I've ever owned), so driving this brand new Cobra with the 6sp has been an eye opening experience...I'm not very good with the 6sp yet. I'm missing...

    Mach 1 Just wanted to say goodbye...kinda

    I just sold my 03 MACH 1 and bought a 2004 Cobra. I know there was some debate about which one some people preferred, but after driving a buddy's 03 cobra, I had to have one. The MACH 1 is BAD@$$, but the Cobra is spine tingling. I'm going to miss my shaker, but the super-charger whine is...

    Noob question

    I've been looking at used 03/04 Cobras and I've noticed that some of the pics I'm seeing have a Snake in the grill...others the horse...is this a difference in 03's vs 04's? or is this some 'package'. thanks

    Mach 1 Air Filter

    Does the Mach use the same air filter as the GT? I was going to pick up a K&N from the local parts store and they didn't have the mach 1 listed but had plenty of Gt filters in stock. Thanks Weldongt

    Mach 1 Owner's Manual

    I just bought my 03 Mach1 used (only 6700 miles). It did not have it's owner's manual. Is the owner's manual for the Mach 1 different from the GT? Is this something that I'll have to order from Ford? Thanks Weldongt

    Mach 1 New Mach 1 Owner

    I traded my 2004 GT for a Zinc Yellow 2003 Mach 1 yesterday. I LOVE THIS CAR!! What a difference from the GT!! Better in every respect. She has 6700 miles, manual tranny, IUP, etc. Great car, I've only put about 30 miles of my own on her, but the more I drive it, the more I love it...

    What Happened to the Pin Stripes My white 04 has a tan pin stripe down the side and I noticed that it doesn't show up in any pictures, then I noticed that nearly every pic I see of 99+ mustangs...no pin stripes... Does anyone else have pin stripes or do they all just disappear in pic?

    Dyno Loss

    Sorry if this has been explained before (the searches I tried returned WAY too many results to wade thru), but I have a question about the 15% loss between flywheel HP and RWHP: So the more power you make at the flywheel, the more power you lose before it gets to the pavement? How is that...

    $660/hr!!!

    Called my local performance shop (the only one in the area) and they quoted me $660/hr for a engine rebuild. I'm looking to go with forged internals and put some serious giggle juice to it, but $660/hr for labor in addition to the parts seems a bit steep. For that kind of money, I'll buy a...

    Another Clay Bar Thread...

    Ok...after 5 beers and plenty of Clay Lube and elbow grease, I finished 1/4 of my hood. The problem is that I have these demonic brown specks on my paint :mad: . I have a white stang and of course it shows every little spot, but these little brown specks are evil. I've tried Maguiers three...

    Accelerator Pedal Question

    I have a 04 GT. I bought it used (had 5000 miles), the clutch and brake pedals are black rubber but the accelerator pedal looks like it is aluminum, or at least has an aluminum cover over it. Is that stock or did someone put a cover over the accelerator? I want to get rid of it because 1-it...
