    Ridiculous Tickets...

    Jgruggs, no problem. It sounds like you have the experience to back it up. It might have more to do with the location, the officer's preference, and how you handle yourself. A dangerous location, a nervous cop, or fast movements by the driver could make for a scary situation.

    Ridiculous Tickets...

    Yeah, I got pulled over doing 75 in a 35 two weeks ago. But the cop was a huge Mustang fan. Said he has a 67 Fastback and a 93 GT. Let me go! I guess that was my one freebie... Same guy waved to me in a parking lot the very next day. Good friend to have :)

    Ridiculous Tickets...

    Dude, you should NEVER get out of the car. At the very least it makes the cop nervous, but it can also piss them off. When you get pulled over, do the following: 1) Roll down your window (don't make him tap on it) 2) Turn the engine off (this serves dual purpose--he doesn't have to worry...

    Differences between 03/04 Cobras?

    That's weird. I could have sworn I paid the gas guzzler tax on my '04. I'll have to check the sticker...

    B&M, MGW, Steeda Shifters...please chime in.

    A friend helped me install my MGW short throw shifter yesterday and I have a few questions. 1) When in neutral, if I pull to the left, it stays there. When I push to the right, it comes back to the center when I let it go. Is this normal? 2) When accelerating, I have accidently gone to...

    K&N filter on the 03 or 04 Cobra

    Uncle Meat, I have a Bassani X-pipe and Cat-back installed on my '04. Does that mean I would have something to worry about if I were to install the K&N FIPK? Thanks!

    Exhaust Upgrade Questions

    Thank you both! I'm glad there will be no cutting involved (no welding later if I put the stock exhaust back on). Thanks for the how-to, cobra90gt. Alfman, I ordered the Bassani X-Pipe and Bassani Cat-back package from rpmoutlet (Option G here: http://www.rpmoutlet.com/03cobradynotune.htm#1 )

    What Happened?

    I guess I just didn't know that much about ABS. I thought it only activated when you actually use the brakes. I haven't really been doing anything crazy with my car yet--still getting used to it...

    Exhaust Upgrade Questions

    I am planning to install a Bassani X-Pipe and Cat-Back on my '04 Cobra tomorrow night. I was hoping someone that's upgraded the exhaust system on an '03 or '04 would share their experience with me. 1) Do I need a torque wrench to loosen/tighten the nuts/bolts when removing the old exhaust...

    What Happened?

    That's happened to me a few times as well. So is the ABS engaging to prevent the tires from barking while downshifting quickly?

    How to upgrade exhaust?

    I bought an '04 Cobra two weeks ago and I want to upgrade the exhaust. I've seen all of the threads about the different types and everyone has their opinions. However, I know absolutely nothing about cars. Does anyone have advice for me as far as what sort of place to visit to have a system...

    Production Number?

    I notice that many of you have the production number for your car (Example: 2134 of 3768). How do you find that out?

    Did your Cobra have a cargo net in the trunk?

    I asked the Fleet Manager at the dealership where I bought my '04 yesterday and he said they eliminated the cargo net for the '04 model as a cost cutting measure... I asked about the floor mats with the cobra on them, and he said that was another cost cutting measure. Do the '03s have the...
