    Stock 01 Cobra / Recommended Mods

    gears... i'd go 4.30s personally. full exhaust and some u/d pulleys would be nice too. the long tubes may be a bit pricey after parts and labor, but an o/r midpipe and catback will still bring a smile to your face. but before any of that, i'd go ahead and get a shifter. good luck. -Sergio

    What are the most miles you have seen someone get out of a 96-98 cobra engine?

    i only have 59k on mine but i've seen some with 180k-ish that still run strong... it has everything to do with how the car's been maintained.

    Dyno Numbers

    full exhaust (longtubes, o/r midpipe, catback) and u/d pullies should do it. i've had pulleys on my car for 4 yrs and never had a problem.

    Supercharger Question

    ford went to an iron block to bring costs down more than anything. the aluminum block is fine, the pistons and rods are what goes in these block (like 99SVTaddict stated). You might regret it if you can afford to get a rebuild or a forged shortblock.

    Anyway to stay up with a 2003 cobra. using a 2001 cobra?

    pullies - yes...throttle body - no longtubes will help as well, but then you have to get a new mid pipe as well. your IRS probably won't like the slicks, but if the rear holds up, YES, they will help you. ALOT! Practice will help you too. The fastest timeslip doesn't always win the race...

    a few ?'s on the 97 Cobra's

    You might be able to find a private owner selling one cheaper, but ithink that's a fair price. As someone else said, the T45 in it is not a tremec, but it does have some problems. I would say it is the weakest link on the car. Hopefully you dont encounter the problems most of us do. You said...

    Anyway to stay up with a 2003 cobra. using a 2001 cobra?

    Not with equal drivers. Your best bet is a short distance race, from a dig (1/8mi.), even then you'll need traction, and it will still be a handful. That being said, there are plenty of '03 out there that you will beat. I've seen them run a slow as 8.9s at local 1/8th mile tracks. Sometimes the...

    2003+ Cobra vs 2001 Camaro SS

    around here, there are plent of bolt-on and cammed LS1s (no heads or intake) running mid 11s. there's even one in particular that posts on a local website running 6.80s in the 1/8th which should be good for 10.70s in the 1/4. of course, it's got all sorts of suspension mods, and weight...

    Thinking about selling my '00 R #3

    i'm pretty sure he meant "2 yrs later" from the '00 model R to the '03 model cobra (released in '02). i don't think he was telling you when u bought ur car.

    That happened to me too. So many things happen right around the same time that i dont remember what exactly fixed it right now. Does ur speedometer still work? check ur fuses. i'll try like hell to remember and get back to you ASAP. it's actually bothering me that my mind just went blank, but...
