    My Apten Experience

    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...

    Gauges...

    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...

    How many GM converts out there?

    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, Pete

    Closest tick/head replacement to Memphis, TN

    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)...

    MIL eliminators

    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...

    Clutch Firewall Adjusters&Quadrants

    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...

    Stereo Upgrade?

    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...

    Stock power question

    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...

    Transmission Clunk

    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...

    Break In Opinions....

    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...
