Thinking about parting with my cobra but want to get some opinions regarding what it's really worth.

Hello all,
Been hearing some strange noises so I thought I'd do some trouble-shooting. Exhaust was all tight so I did a compression/leak down check and here are the numbers:
1 - 159 -1.18% Average 160.875
2 - 160 -0.55% Std Dev 6.4
3 - 166 3.09%
4 - 165 2.50%
5 - 171 5.92%
6 - 150...
Just relocated to Maine and it's about time for a complete rebuild on my 03. Looking to go .020 over, new pistons, etc. etc. Might even go for some head work + cams if the checkbook allows.
Any you guys have good/bad experiences with anyone up here? I'd rather not trailer the car all the...
Apologize if this has been discussed - search is down and I need an answer pretty quick.
Scenario: pumpkin is leaking around the edges. Visual inspection looks like no cracks.
Asked for estimate from local shop to reseal/refill pumpkin and install the Billetflow brace.
$369+tax...
Well, I finally achieved my goal of a 500/500 car. I will have to wait until the spring when our track reopens to see if I can achieve my other goal: an 11 second timeslip.
Anyway, to the point of my post…. I know it has been a hot topic with quite a bit of varying opinions, but I thought...
I searched and found quite a few opinions - wanted to check if any had more thoughts.
Tomorrow I'm doing some 10k maintenance: fuel filter, 4th oil change, and tranny fluid.
There's the rub: I have both Redline D4 ATF and Castroil Dexron III at my disposal. Which fluid and why...
Well, after saying I wasn't going to pulley this beast, look what showed up...
Reason for posting: wanted to publicly thank Doug and Ken from BilletFlow for their prompt transaction/shipping. Very courteous and professional. Would definitely recommend to others!
Thanks!

Posted this over on Modular, but I wanted to get you guys' thoughts as well...
Here's what I want: streetable 11 second convertible.
Here's what power mods I've done so far: Bassani headers, x, catback and steeda cai. TR-6's at .040 also. Good for 416/379 sae. My best et [email protected] with a...
Did a search and found a bunch of good info, but kinda spread out and not all on topic....
So... I have a line on getting a custom 2 or 3 gauge pod for the A-pillar in my vert.
Here's my debate:
First, should I opt for two or three gauges?
Second, which gauges should I put in? I'm...
Ok. I'm bored and disappointed about missing Bowling Green. I've noticed after reading this forum for about a year that there seem to be quite a few old F-body/Vette guys now driving Cobras.
I'll start off - had a 93 Z28 M6 LT1. Mildly modified. Used to love killing mustangs - even had a...
10th Anniversary Wheels on Mineral Gray Vert
Picked them up for a great price - couldn't resist. Kept the stockers for strip tires.
Props to 03ShadowCobra for displaying a pic that pushed me over the edge.
Cheers,

Just as the title reads.
I'm fairly certain I've got the dreaded tick after having several of the local 03 crowd listen to it. That being said, the two local SVT dealerships haven't replaced one yet and I don't want to be their guinea pig.
So.... who's closest (and happy with the service)...
Autotap users,
Received my autotap today and I'm very pleased. Hooked right up to my Palm Tungsten T2 as well as my Cobra and my wife's Expy.
To the questions - I did a search and read all the previous autotap threads on this forum and a couple others. I also sifted through the Ford...
Been noticing a few folks asking for TSB numbers. I just received my Ford Service DVD I got off ebay - July 2003 edition so it ought to be close to up to date. Here are the TSB's it lists:
2003 MUSTANG - TSBs found: 16
03-11-06 ELECTRICAL - WIRING - SOLDERING AND CRIMPING REPAIRS -...
Gents (and ladies),
Probably a stupid question - I did a search and didn't find the answer....
Are all MIL eliminators basically the same? I've found them ranging from $29 to $59.
My Bassani cat'ed x is throwing codes and I'd like to buy a durable set of eliminators.
Thanks in...
Ok - I just read about 70 threads that had some excellent background on why an aftermarket firewall adjuster/new quadrant will help my condition - difficulty getting into gear after the clutch gets hot. Reverse in particular.
Now to my question. I'm down to two offerings: Steeda and UPR...
Ok guys - relative newbie here and I was hoping to get some help...
This past Saturday we had a dyno day at the local SVTOA meeting. Lots of fun had by all.
Anyway, attached below is my dyno chart and I was hoping someone would post any observations. Car is stock with the exception of...
Greetings!
I've been avidly reading these boards since I registered and have gotten some excellent information here. Many have briefly discussed the stereo we have - many like it and many don't.
I guess I fall in the middle. I like the treble, but the bass sounds very loose. It seems like...
Greetings,
I'll apologize up front for my lack of intimate knowledge of cobras and the length of this post. I'm a convert from the 'dark side.' I had a 93 Z28 (first year with LT1/6spd) which I promptly ditched when I heard about the 03 Cobra.
I just finished my self imposed break in...
Looking for some opinions here. I searched the forum and only two folks had mentioned lojack. One for and one against. The dealer offered it to me for $595. Any opinions would be most welcome.
Cheers,:beer:

The day finally arrived - I took delivery today. The car had 15 miles on it when I got her but showed no signs of abuse. She's got 75 now and I LOVE this car.
I do have a question for those more experienced with the Cobra. When I go into 1st, there is a noticable clunk (both audible and...
Having never owned or operated a supercharged car before, what do you guys recommend as a proper break in? I've seen some guys mention 500 miles, but I've also see some guys mentioned they were mod'ing and taking their cars to the track/dyno right away... I know it's a subjective question, but...
