    just bought new car and have questions

    ^^^^ What he said. Must have something else working for you. These cars are so easy to mod. Get it to a shop ( or another Terminator owner can look at it) and find out what you have...or don't have and start adding to it. Good Luck

    just bought new car and have questions

    Congrats on the Cobra (Verts the only way to go!) You are supposed to run Premium fuel only! 91 or better...all the time. Might have a bad 02 sensor causing it to throw a fuel code....maybe, just guessing. Might take it to a different dealer or local shop and have them just run the codes for you...

    Roll Bar Pics and ?'s

    It's like everything else, you can spend what you want on either and you get what you pay for meaning you pay cheap you probably get cheap. I had it installed at the dealer before I ever picked the car up. Had seen one on another car and when I ordered the car told the dealer I wanted it...

    Roll Bar Pics and ?'s

    Mine is strickly a "Light Bar" . Funny thing is the tech guy at our local hick racetrack thinks its a roll bar, lets me run while other verts cannot. Tells them when they ask , He's got a roll bar, you wanna run you have to get one. They have been pretty cool and not told him any different...

    K & N CAI

    You will hear the whine of the blower a little more, not anything like the ol 4 barrel carbs. Some run with just the filter but I added the black plastic heat guard to my setup, don't really know if it helps keep the hot engine air from being sucked in or not but it was cheap and probably helps...

    03' Cobra..the PERFECT car.

    Just Maybe Green man, maybe some of the things can be contributed to you or your driving style or just your plain quirkyness. Yes there has been lots of owners with the T.B. problem, steering pop, and clunking rearend. If I had those problems and the dealer didn't want to fix, I would be...

    Hey guys

    Yes just by changing the pulley you can wake it up, but you really need to get it to breath first. Get the air in by installing some type of open filter element like a JLT CAI or K&N FIPK then change out the exhaust with a cat-back system and while your at it change to an X pipe. Then after...

    Hardtop or convertable SVT?

    Yeah, a vert in Texas is a lot of fun. Absolutely can't go wrong either way. Go test drive one and let your heart guide you. I can't think of anything that would be a disadvantage by going with a vert, but I'm prejudice. I'm on my 3rd clutch with 24,000 miles which is BAD, but I burnt 1 up by...

    03 Cobra vs Mercedes Benz CL-600 friging v12

    Here's the results Let me say from the git go, he was a nice fella, not cocky or a smart a. The car is beautiful , and it runs great. I started off from the house by setting my clutch up a little tight using the firewall adjuster, I like the pedal to be a little stiff. I'm not making excuses ...

    Ridiculous Tickets...

    Didn't intend on hijacking the thread...just saying what has worked for me in the past. Been pulled over in just about everything that has wheels on it. Been driving for almost 30 years and have only gotten maybe 6 real tickets, lots of warnings. And the only time I ever went to jail was when I...

    If you purchased a new Shelby GT500, would you mod it?

    What Sawman said! You just have to get it breathing. Cia, exhaust,pulley and tune. It's begging for that.

    Ridiculous Tickets...

    The cops around here are pretty cool , at least now. They weren't when I just started driving, in the late 70's. Got pulled over the other day, on a long open back country road, no houses, or traffic, opened her up and at 150+ you cover some road quickly, coming up on a curve so I backed her...

    03 Cobra vs Mercedes Benz CL-600 friging v12

    I'm hoping he shows up on street tires. Don't know if he has any mods. Haven't talked with him yet, race was a set-up type deal thru some guys putting on a bunch of match races at the local track. Only seen one of these type cars around in our area, driven by a young guy, hope its him, maybe he...
