    Debating if I should sell my 01 Cobra

    The guy who offered to buy it was some flakey weirdo. I should have known since he left a note on my car saying he wanted to buy the car. I thought it would be some collector who knew what the car was. The guy didn't even have a clue. Says he was looking for something cheap for his sister...

    Debating if I should sell my 01 Cobra

    I bought the 01 Cobra when I saved up for it my first year teaching because it was my dream car. I've babied it throughout the years and have only put 37K miles on it, since I have had another car to use as my daily driver. Well, the other day, someone left a note on my car saying that...

    Questions about tires not lasting long enough

    The wear was in the center of the tread on all the tires. I haven't had my allignment checked lately, so could that be it?

    Questions about tires not lasting long enough

    Questions about BFG Sport tires not lasting long enough Hi All I'm writing to ask about some tires I bought, BF Goodrich G Force Sport, for all 4 of my wheels at 255/45/17. They are all the same size so that I could rotate them, which I did every 4K miles. However, the tires didn't even...

    Finally got my hands on a Cobra

    Looks good. Yellow is my favorite color stang after red. That hood will always be one of the best to me.

    Are BFG G Force Sports a good choice for tires?

    Thanks for the input. I've been happy with the BFG KDWS's that I have currently, so I'm happy to hear that the sports are just as nice. They perform nicely, but I wish i could get more miles out of those suckers :)

    Do you love your 01 Cobra??

    My 01 was my first, and I love the car to death. I don't beat on it, but I do enjoy it. I'm coming up on 30K right now. Haven't had any major problems that weren't covered under waranty (knock on wood)

    what brand fuel

    I like Shell, when its not too expensive. With prices the way they are, i'll put any 93 octane gas (Murphy's(Wal Mart), Hess, BP, Chevron, and even Citgo) as long as its not some obscure gas station. I don't like Race Trac though.

    Any info or TSB I should know of before I get 30K Maintenance on my 01?

    I'm going to be due for my 30K maintenance, and I'm sure it will be an expensive one. Any tricks i should look for so that I don't get screwed the way Nissan did me on my 15K maintenance. I also thought there was talk about how there was a TSB on the shifter or the transmission? Is that still...

    Are BFG G Force Sports a good choice for tires?

    My BFG KDWS fronts only lasted 12K. Maybe that's considered good, but the stock tires on the 01 Cobra lasted at loeast 17K. I'm running a staggered setup (255 fronts and 275 backs) so I have learned my lesson there. As soon as the rears wear down, I'm replacing them with the same size as the...

    What rims were these?

    I remember there was a company that made these rims that looked like the old AC CObra rims. They had an attachment where you could put the "teeth" on the centercap. I can't find them anymore.

    Need teacher/student ides for Classic Stangs

    It doesn't have to be a life lesson right now. I'm just getting to know the student right now. I already plan on showing him the car chase scene from Bullitt. I am afraid he'll be bored by the rest of it. And eventually I want to start builing models with him. For right now, I'm just trying...

    Need teacher/student ides for Classic Stangs

    Hi I'm an elementary school teacher and I am mentoring a 6th grade student. He and I both enjoy classic muscle cars, and I was wondering if anyone could help me think of ideas to do. I meet with him for 15 minutes in the morning twice a week. I was wondering if anyone knew of a site where we...

    Need pics of SVT Grill Emblem on Cars

    My Cobra Emblem got stolen, so I'm thinking about trying out one of those "SVT" Emblems to put in my grill to fill it out a little more. If you have this grill emblem in your car, I'd appreciate it if you could share a pic. I'd like to see how they look in the grill and if they fill it out ok...

    Need Grill Emblem Opinions - Car Vandalized

    I actually do have a garage. I bought a house after the first incident. They were 2 seperate situations, so I know it's not the same person. The first incident happened when I lived in an apt. and I did report it to the police. I got the ol' we'll file a report, etc. I really don't know...

    Need Grill Emblem Opinions - Car Vandalized

    Ok, so my car gets vandalized AGAIN! The first time, someone took the side emblem off my car. Luckily they didn't do any damage, just the emblem. So now my front Cobra Emblem gets ripped out. They just bent the thing up and down until it came out, screws and everything. So now the holes...

    TSB is out for TR 3650

    So does this mean that all of us with 01 Cobras can go to a Ford Service place and have it fixed? Will they only fix it if there is a problem? Or is this like the 99 Cobras where all of them needed "the fix." Sorry to be clueless, but like I said, I haven't had any issues with my trannie...

    Need your opinions on Rims

    Which SSRs? I like the GT3's. I just can't handle the high price tag on them. Plus, since they are 18" rims, I don't want to have to replace all 4 tires because I have 17" rims right now.

    Need your opinions on Rims

    I am wanting to buy a new set of rims for my car and wanted your input. I have been looking at those Deep Dish Bullitts and they look nice. My only reason for hesitating is I don't want the car to wind up looking like a GT. I'd like it to still look like a Cobra. So I've also been looking...

    Polished or Chrome?

    I waas wondering if anyone out there could tell me about the differences and advantages of Chrome and Polished rims? Chrome is always more expensive. I have heard some people who got polished say they wish they got chrome instead. Does chrome look better? I always thought polished looked the...
