    3:90s in a 96'?

    I have a 96 Cobra and I went from 3.27s to 4.30s and I would recommend nothing else than 4.30s. You would be wasting your money. I have never been to the track and drive my car quite a bit. The rpms are only slightly higher and I still get 20mpg. The car is much more fun to drive also.

    Need Help with Rims/Tires Question?

    I would prefer to use the stock rims, because I want the car to look the same when I swap rims/tires because I will probably play around sometimes with the DRs on. Will I get a better hook from Nittos or BFGs? And what are the average prices on Drag Radials?

    Need Help with Rims/Tires Question?

    I plan on making some trips to the track for the first time this spring, and would like to have some decent tires to run on. I have a 96 Cobra with 4.30s so traction is a problem with on current cheap Kuhmo tires. I was thinking about getting 2 more 96/97 Cobra rims and mounting a set of DRs...

    Any advice on how to launch? Would investing in a pair of BFG DRs be a smart choice?

    Cobra vs. GT....who wins?

    That is what I am worried about also. I am running on cheap Kumho street tires, and I have never been to the track yet so I may have trouble launching. Any advice? I have practiced launching in various places just for fun, and I do spin, but not entirely bad. Also, would it make a big...

    Cobra vs. GT....who wins?

    I have a 1996 Cobra with Pullies, Flowmaster, K&N, 4.30s, Tri-Ax and a guy I know wants to race me. He has a 2002 Manual Transmission GT with X-Pipe, CAI, and Pullies. I believe that I should win, but he keeps telling everyone that he would beat me. And the race would be an 1/8 mile by the...

    Anybody running 4.10's or 4.30's with the stock driveshaft?

    I have 4.30s in my 1996 Cobra with a stock driveshaft, but I would recommend an aluminum one. It drives fine up until around 100mph then it vibrates like hell. I plan on getting one as soon as I can afford it.

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    I have a 1996 Cobra and I have full coverage through state farm. I am 19 years old, no accidents/tickets, good student discount, and live in a small town. I pay roughly $2000 a year for insurance. I drove a 97 Blazer before I got my car and paid nearly the same amount.

    Do gear swaps throw off the odometer?

    I just switched from a 3.27 to 4.30 and have not done the speedo fix yet. Does this throw off my odometer as well as the speedometer? If so, I need to get the speed cal asap. Thanks.

    $600 plus for gear install...am I getting screwed?

    I got my car back yesterday and WOW!! After I got to driving my car for awhile I forget how much I paid for the gears because my car is 10x more fun to drive now! It amazed me how much those gears picked my car up! The only bad thing now is that I am going to need new tires soon...maybe DRs...

    $600 plus for gear install...am I getting screwed?

    Yeah, I called various places around town and this was one of the only places that would put them in. I always try to get an estimate, but they would never give me a dollar amount. It's always, "We have to see what it is going to take first" and other bull'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me'...
