Well, things change in life and it is now time to sell the racer. It's a 1995 Cobra R clone that has raced IMSA, Motorola Cup, Speedvision and Grand Am Cup. 100% professional race history. Fully rebuilt to 2003 GAC specs but in the original FireHawk livery (as seen in the Steeda 95R poster)...

Does anyone know what changes have been made to the IFS to withstand the racing abuse? In particular the half-shafts / CV joints?? Thanks!

Guys, My work situation has suffered from the downturn, and I found myself unable to make the haul to Barber...bummer. Soulds like you all had a great time! Hopefully things will start looking up a bit and I'll be in a position to head East to catch up with you all at another great...

I'm thinking of turning my '98 Cobra into something else and might be swapping engine and tranny. What are opinions on value of a 20000 mile '98 Cobra motor with Vortech S-Trim, T-45 tranny combo. All accessories included, basically remove drivetrain and sell. Thoughts?? Thanks!

Gents, I have arranged for a local paint shop to take on some of the final body work for the Snipes car, but have been stymied by the options for hoods. So far, every place that I've found selling 95R hoods state that they are "95R style" hoods... Upon closer inspection, the principal...

Gents, I'm finally ready to put all the cooling, oil, fuel and brake lines/hoses back on the racer (over three years since they came off). Looking through the pictures I took, I can't quite reconstruct how the degas bottle is hooked up with the rest of the radiator. Does anyone have an...

OK, I've searched the forum and found lots of talk about the ducting for 2000r's and 95r's. Seems that since the carbon fiber units from Ford, SHM or MultiMatic are no longer available. This has forced everyone to go to the Kenny Brown units. Now that KB is not making products, what are the...

Gents, I am looking for some information about the Multimatic dampers on my Snipes racer. Trying to get info out of Multimatic has been a bear... The front setup consists of a static strut with a damper attached parallel to it. The bumps on the hood above the strut towers are to...

I just came across this notice on the SVRA web site: 1995 IMSA Cobra R Mustang - #82 of 250 built. Documented IMSA/SCCA history. Steeda-built and campaigned car. Cleanest, most original IMSA Cobra R on the planet! Matching numbers. Original parts go with car. Currently street driven! Fresh...

You gents should know something about this... Let's suppose that I wanted to build a 351w on a Sportsman block, run fuel injection, wet sump, Sunoco 112 leaded for starters. My guess is that I am in the 450hp/450ftlb and $10k range. Given that that is a fair guess (it might not be), where do...

Would one of you gents with an original 95R upper intake be able to take a high quality digital photo close-up of the part of the intake with "5.8 Cobra" for me? If possible, it would be best if it taken from directly above the manifold, not at an angle. Thanks in advance! Don

I have a 98 Cobra with a stock 9psi Vortec kit. The fuel system is the Vortec solution, namely a 190lph tank pump, T-Rex in-line pump and an FMU. The only thing not stock is the Fuel Safe 21 gal cell. This is a return type system. So, the problem is that the in-cell pump only lasts about...

Gents, What headers are you all running on the 95R's? I have some FMS shorties on the motor now, but would like to swap out to full length headers. I am also running a Lakewood bullet proof bellhousing, and am wary of interference. If possible, I'd like to avoid Hookers (due to sloppy...

So, do you allow owners of R model clone cars to take a peek at this forum?? How about attending an R model meet somewhere? I know a few of you gents from past events in Colorado and Tennesee... This is where you guys hang out? :beer:

does this work??
