    '04 Cobra cold-stall problem

    My '04 Cobra vert w/ cold-air and magna-flows has recently developed an annoying cold-stall problem. It starts and idles fine in the driveway, however if I drive it after 30 sec.-1 minute, it will die-out at every stop sign/light for the first 5 minutes. Mass flow meter, air & fuel filters,and...

    Winter traction help

    I'm looking for solution to assist winter traction. I run Goodyear 235/45-17 UltraGrip GW3 on my stock rims and usually put 150# of sand (3 plastic bags) in the trunk. I've had no problem in 2-winters --except worrying about what the bags do if I end up in a big spin. I was thinking of using a...

    97 Cobra - Leather Dye flaking off on Drivers seat- how to fix?

    The driver's left-side bolster on my '01 vert is also showing premature wear, that I wasn't worried about --my warranty just expired, until reading these replies. At 59,980 km's I had my steering wheel replaced 'cause the surface of the leather-wrap had worn off for approx. 3" where my left hand...

    What do you guys think of these 20 inch rims/tire combo??

    Yes, I forgot about the wandering. it was very disconcerting for a few days,but you get used to it. Harshness did increase with the lower/stiffer sidewall, so I run the tire pressures lower --32 psig versus 34-36 in the old tires.

    What do you guys think of these 20 inch rims/tire combo??

    You've heard all the emotional responses, now the tech. reasons not to go with the 20's... cornering will suffer, the chassis will sit 0.7-inches higher --so body roll will increase, and your speedo will read low by some 5.3%. After a lot of study,I replaced my original rims/tires with...

    first impression of new Pro 5.0

    Like any shifter, the Pro.5 takes getting used to, and not unlike the stock shifter, if you try to push it you're going to find the wrong gear. 2-3 and 5-4 --in the 5-speed box, are the changes that I screwed up first time out because I was trying too hard. After a couple of hours, your...

    Does anyone know where I can get a stock power curve for a 2001 COBRA? ...easy to find for '03's, but no such luck for an '01! Thanks!

    How fast will this go top end?

    Top speed for a '98 cobra is 152, with a 3.27 final drive and 245/45-ZR17 tires. With your tire change to 255/35-ZR20's, theoretical top speed goes UP to 159.9 mph, but the final drive change REDUCES it to 127.5 (theoretical) mph.

    Which tires to buy

    I have an '01 Cobra rag-top --that came with the stock 17 X 8" polished wheels. My summer tires Comp T/A's were cooked last year, so I did quite a bit of research over the winter. My conclusion... if you want the best balance in wet and dry performance, braking, and handling,and want a resonable...

    Speed-volume control for Mach 460?

    I recently traded my '02 GT ragtop for an '01 Cobra convertible --#1761 of 3384. Both had the Mach 460 sound system, however the speed-volume function --pretty useful on a ragtop, doesn't work on the Cobra. The radio was switched out under warranty but speed-volume still doesn't work. I'm...
