I am getting a new shortblock from Tim soon too, and I am springing for all the parts like billet pump gears, high capacity pan, and ARP hardware. He's built alot of fine modular motors for my friends, so I'm going to trust his judgement on what will generate the power and hold together for an...

Congrats. Now go buy a blower for it. :D

If you can afford the down time, KB the GT. You'lll save money in the long run, and you'll be lighter than a cobra. Easier to build your rear for hard launches too. I was going to supercharge my 02 GT, but sold it in favor of a Cobra. I couldn't afford the down time, so the Cobra was the way...

My friend bought a DSG 2003 Cobra just like mine except stock for $25,000 with 4,000 miles on it. He bought it from the original owner. He modded his just like mine. Makes almost the exact same power.

I only payed $30k for my Cobra. But in the first year they were selling for $36-$39k. Now you can get one brand new for around $29-30k. -Jason

I had brochures on the STi before they were being sold in the US. I was considering both the STi and the 03 Cobra. I ended up buying the Cobra because most of my driving is interstate. I would still like to have an STi or similar AWD some day, though. I liked the STi over the EVO stock for...

The 03 Cobras were rated at 22mpg highway and got a $1000 gas guzzler tax because it wasn't within acceptable passenger car gas mileage standards. The 04s have a new flash that takes care of that raising the fuel economy to 24mpg (no more gas guzzler tax) and also deals with a few other issues...

Already had my computer reflashed by my tuner. I would get the free flash, but then I would have to go back to my tuner and get him to reflash over that tune to get the car running again. Too much $$$. -Jason

Don't hold the clutch to the floor when you slow to a stop. Put the car in neutral and let the clutch out or downshift. If you are not pushing the clutch in and it is still doing it, unplug your batter and turn on the headlights. After a few minutes plug the negative of the battery back up...

I like the V8 in mustangs. The I6 in a supra is great for the rpm and high end HP. Then again a centrifugal supercharged viper V10 is fun too. :) -Jason

I believe I posted in some of your threads on their board. Tim, Jeff, Andy and Rhonda are great. They are the only people I've let touch my car. -Jason

I went and got a few more mods, a retune and dyno. I am very happy with the new low end power and sound. See the sig for dyno chart and video. -Jason

Mine is a daily driver. 8 months and 22,700 miles so far.

September 6th, 2003 I traded a 2002 Sonic Blue GT 5 speed with 43,611 miles for $14,500. No mods but clutch cable, quadrant and triax. A couple days later it was on the lot with a sticker saying $19,900. I bought a 2003 DSG 03 Cobra Coupe for $30,400. The Cobra was stickered at...

I know you realize that some people aren't great drivers and others don't powershift. I run consistant 12.4s @ 115-116 bogging off the line in my car on street tires. The one time I powershifted, yanking through the gears barely letting off the gas, I trapped 120mph. My car is my daily...

A 650rwhp 03 Cobra traps 137 :) http://www.modularfords.com/forums/timeslips.php? My 458rwhp 03 Cobra trapped 120 on my best powershifting run. I can't drive all that well though. :D

Several guys have made several fast passes on slicks with stock rear. No wheel hop = no broken half-shafts. Eventually you'll break something though. -Jason

For a daily driver, I am really enjoying my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s:

I am not going to say it won't, but I and several of my friends and internet acquaintances have installed one without a tune and got no light. I ran mine for about 3,500 miles with just the K&N aircharger before getting pullied and tuned. It is always good to get a dyno pull with air/fuel...

I like the bigger filter and donut like Uncle Meat said. I am satisfied with mine. :)
