I just put my '03 SVT Cobra Coupe on ebay with a reserve of $18,500. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200187202641&rd=1 Any questions or interest, let me know. Thanks - Mike Danbury CT Woodsrat at Terra dot com

Car & Driver (July 06) gave the GT500 a full road test. It got a good review but not great. They were not impressed with the acceleration to the point of being sceptical of the 500 bhp rating. They got the exact same acceleration (12.9@112mph, 0-100 in 10.3 sec) as they got in the '03 Cobra. The...

While doing some research on IRS, I found two interesting articles. The first is about the OEM Cobra IRS supplier and briefly about how an SVT engineer designed the module to fit the Mustang chassis. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3012/is_3_179/ai_54216816 The second doesn´t have...

Seven months ago, I posted a preliminary review of the Avon Tech M500 tires. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=182235&highlight=Avon Having now driven them 7000 miles on my '03 Cobra, I can now give a more detailed review. Keep in mind that both these tires are street...

My Spanish is not the greatest, but if I understand the story: Three crims have been stealing/hijacking cars in Guatemala City. In some cases they have been encouraging the car owners to take a cruise to the ATM first. They are confronted by angry citizens while driving a stolen Mustang...

I have 28,600 miles on my '03 Cobra, the first 12,000 on the OEM Goodyear F1s, and the next 16,000 miles on Goodyear GS-D3s. I was happy with the F1s, even happier with the GS-D3s. But at nearly $900/set (not including shipping and mounting), I wanted to see if there was a less expensive...

I'm not a clutch-dropper driver, but other people's problems with cracked differential covers have had me a little paranoid... and it is real easy to get wheel hoppin' on the '03 Cobra. This new JDM piece sounds like it would be pretty effective in reducing axle housing/diff cover stress, and...

I just got the December issue of Car & Driver, and they have a full test on the '05 GT. They gave it a great review. Ford did a hell of a job on the 3 valve SOHC V-8, 13.8 in the quarter, versus 14.0 for the quad cam Mach 1. Pretty weird when Mercedes is now going from the 3 valve SOHC V-8 to a...

I was wondering what car was the next least expensive with our Cobra's engine technology. So I did a little research to see what other street-legal production cars had at least eight cylinders, quad cams, and forced induction. The only one I could find is the Bentley Continental GT, not the...

I may get squashed because this is not a Terminator post, but I thought people would find it interesting. My friend Rick Claxton (one of the top off-road/enduro riders in New England) just traded in his 1991? Ford Econoline van with 357,000 miles on it. The 351 powertrain had never had the...

In another thread, someone posted that the '03-04 Cobra does not have a knock sensor. Is this true? I always just assumed that it did have one and I would be shocked if it didn't have a knock sensor to protect against detonation. Thanks in advance for setting this straight.

I haven't seen this programmer mentioned before so I am guessing it is new. http://www.hypertech.com/cobra.html It has three tunes: stock pulley, 3.0, and 2.8. Hypertech is making big dyno claims but they have a lot of credibility. Car & Driver did a programmer/chip dyno comparison a...

I saw a Mystichrome on the Hutchinson Parkway coming north out of NYC this saturday morning. First one I've seen, it looked really cool.

Several times when I have tried to eject a CD from my '03 Cobra six disc indash changer, the CD has jammed, and I have used a small plastic screwdriver (normally used for amplifier gain adjustments) to shoehorn the CD out. But this time, when I tried to eject disc 3, the whole mechanism...

I just got back a few days ago, after driving my '03 Cobra Coupe from Connecticut all the way down thru Mexico and all the way through Guatemala to the Honduran border, and then back to Connecticut. I thought members might be interested in how the Cobra performed and held up. I left CT with...

A little weight comparison: Factory '03 Cobra catback 52 lbs Flowmaster American Thunder catback 48 lbs Install went well, everything fit perfect and the instructions were good. Another member posted recommending band clamps for the two...

I can't believe it, but Ford has eliminated the rebates on the '03 SVT Cobra. Considering how many are still sitting on dealer lots, I thought they would have increased the rebate above the $1500 that they were giving. No rebates on '04 Cobras, either.

Check out page 40 in the Feb issue of Car & Driver. Gorgeous English Invicta coupe powered by a Mach 1 DOHC motor. One piece carbon fiber outer body weighing a claimed 44 lbs (I assume that does not include doors & hood). $116,500 sticker price.

If you want your fog lights to stay on with your high beams, there is an easy mod. The fog light interrupt relay is located in the fuse/relay box under the hood (driver's side). It is the small relay nearest the center of the engine compartment, there is a drawing in the owners manual showing...

I just bought a new '03 SVT Cobra Coupe and I wanted to introduce myself, I'm from Danbury CT. I have been monitoring this forum for a few months and I have picked up a lot of good info from it. I thought people might be interested in hearing my purchase story. After doing a lot of research...
