    1/4 mile shifting and gears

    How can I tell if the previous owner kept the stock gears (3.23) in my 2001 Cobra Convertible....without pulling the pumpkin to look. I ran at the track and was in 3rd gear at 6,000 rpm, hit 101.23 mph in the trap. Sounds like stock gears.... anyone agree with me... If so, I am going...

    IAT Sensor? Resistor +20hp ???

    Thanks for the replies...I thought it was too easy to be true. I had not noticed these when I was upgrading my old Fox body. I'll stick with the basics, change the gears to 3.73, pulley's, and maybe look at the predator chip....nothing too fancy.

    IAT Sensor? Resistor +20hp ???

    I saw this ad on eBay, someone selling a resistor. Here is part of the ad: THIS IS A RESISTOR specific for the car listed above only!!! THIS WILL NOT HURT YOUR CAR IN ANY WAY ALL YOU DO IS INSTALL IT IN YOUR IAT SENSOR! Does this sound like something that would work on your car?

    '01 Cobra with 6300 miles...

    The Cobra was black, and in mint condition according to the eBay ad. The guy had the original build sheet, etc. Looked like it was really well cared for. It might still be for sale. It was "sold" on eBay at $20,700 but the guy couldn't get the financing. I was going to drive up and buy the...

    What can I get for my 1999 Cobra?

    I would price your car around $14,000 if it was stock. You won't get what you put into it unfortantely and the dealers won't give you crap on trade. With your goodies on the car, I could see paying around $17,000 to $18,000 for your car.

    '01 Cobra with 6300 miles...

    That's a good price. You can turn it around and get $20,000 for it on eBay. I just missed bidding on one that went for $20,700 with 5,200 miles on it.

    Installing roll bar - hurt the value?

    Looking for opinions? I just purchased a 2001 Performance Red Cobra. I plan on making the usual upgrades, and probably adding a 100 shot of NOS. From what I have read, and heard, its not a good idea to supercharge the aluminum blocks. Either way I go with upgrades, one upgrade I have to do...

    V^ convert to V8 later vs 2005 V8 GT ?

    I've been thinking the same thing since its almost impossible to find a GT V8 anywhere. The thought I had was to put a supercharger on a V6. You figure with the supercharger you'll end up with more horsepower than the V8 stock would have been...and you still will end up paying less than what a...

    New Paint Job recommendations near Pittsburgh

    I am going to get some quotes on a new paint job for my 1987 Mustang. I want to paint it like the Shelby GT 350's. Although I want to go with mostly all blue with the white stripes down the middle. Anyone know of a good shop near Pittsburgh.

    Headlights stopped working - 1987 GT

    Thanks everyone for your posts. I'll go ahead and find a multi-function switch and let you know if that solves my problem...which it sounds like it will.

    how would I go about by-passing it to find the problem? Remove the headlight switch and try to get it to turn on that way?

    Headlights stopped working - 1987 GT

    My headlights stopped working and I am perplexed. The parking lights work fine, and the high beams work fine. I pulled the left and right headlight bulbs, they appear fine, no blown looking or destroyed filament. I checked the fuse, it was fine, but I replaced the fuse with a new one just in...

    1/4 time for trap speed?

    My last Mustang, a 2000 Supercharged GT with about 420 HP. I ran a 12.86 at 115 mph with 3.73 gears. That was with the street tires. Once I got my Nitto 555r's my times dropped to 12.3 on average. My best time before I sold the car was 12.17 at 116 mph. I usally was around 6,000 to 6,200...

    Help me justify buying this mustang!

    What Stang for you Well in my opinion don't bother with 1994 to 1998 Mustangs (stock). They don't have the horsepower stock. 1987 to 1993 Mustangs run better. If you can find one cheap, try getting a 1999 or newer model and put a supercharger on it. I had a 2000 Mustang GT with an ATI...
