I have a 2003 Torch Red Coupe with 5,300 miles on it. I bought it 3 years ago with 1,200 miles on it. I am pushing 71 now and the car just sits in the garage. It has never done a burn out, or been power shifted. The tach has never seen 6,000 RPM and has only seen 5,000 on two occasions...

I have a 2003 Terminator with 5,000 miles on it. It is without any blemishes and I am about to put it on the market. I just turned 70 and I just don't drive it anymore. Only put 3,000 on it in the 3 years I've owned it. Went to fill it up a month ago and evidently the hose had some grease...

Had a ram clutch installed in my terminator about 2,000 miles ago. It is very difficult to get the car into reverse. It wants to stick most of the time; sometimes it goes in OK. If I run the engine up to 4,500 RPM in first, and try to shift to second it will hang in first. With a new clutch...

I recently read that the Nissan GT-R's engine is put on a stand and run for 10 minutes, wide-open and then installed. I was wondering if anyone knows if the hand-built Cobra engines had a similar pre-delivery inspection.

Pretty dumb; smelled it when I stopped. What damage did I do?

With the Kooks Long Tube headers, my Bassini Cat Back system is too loud. The torch red color already gets a close look by cops, and when I hit this thing in second, you can hear it from 1/2 mile away. I drove 50 miles at about 75 or 80 mph and was tone deaf for an hour after I got back...

Does anyone know a good clear bra installer near Athens, Georgia?

My 2003 Cobra has about 3,600 miles on it. Have added Whipple 2.9 (with all the proper support), ram clutch, 3.76 differential, Kooks Long Tubes, and urethane motor mounts. Had to add the motor mounts because stock mounts were sagging just enough so that the Kooks made contact with body...

When you read the descriptions of Mobil 1 OW-30 oil it sounds great. Increased levels of wear and diminished drag - higher horsepower - all seems great. Then it says not recommended for street use because of effect on catalytic converters. I'm wondering if it would not work as well as Royal...

I think this was done in Australia, but it has some interest value. http://www.animegame.com/cars/Oil%20Tests.pdf You may have to refresh several times to get this PDF to load.

I know that the subject of "which oil" is contentious, and I'm not here to make a comparison. All I wanted to do was clarify for some members a point that I was confused about - because of internet conflicts about the facts. I bought some Royal Purple 5W-20 XPR Racing oil to use in my Cobra...

I have a Valentine laser detector. Been nailed by laser once. What is the BEST way to avoid getting nailed. Police scanner, jammer, CB Radio. The Valentine is good, but it does not work for a laser. I want to know what you are using or what is the best way. I used to use CB radios...

Will this size Toyo TQ fit in the wheel well of a 2003 SVT - Toyo TQ drag radial 345 x 40 x 17? Would the fenders have to be rolled or not?
