    Hey guys I'm back!

    Any long time members might remember me from a decade ago when I had a 97 rio red Cobra coupe that I road raced a bunch. Sold it and went to the dark side for about 9 years...Z06. Anyway I sold the Vette and bought an 03 Cobra metallic silver vert in July 2021. I don't really get on forums...

    Help...in the middle of rear spring swap

    I searched real quick but didn't find it. What's the best place to remove the rear exhaust? It appears that the tail pipes have to come off to lower the IRS all the way down. Thanks!

    Which lowering springs for a vert?

    Ok I did a search and maybe I am not doing something right but I got results for all different years of cars so here we are. I have a 2003 Cobra vert still on stock springs if you can believe that! Yes it is akin to a 4x4. LOL The stance has got to be lowered once it cools off a bit here in...

    Another question for vert owners...

    The 2003 I received two weeks ago was missing the top boot cover. There are only two snaps on top, one on each side. When I look at the aftermarket boots they have multiple snaps you must install which I really don't want to mess with. Can someone show some pics of how their original boot...

    Convertible owners - need your insight

    So I bought a very nice low mile silver 03 vert this weekend and it arrived Saturday afternoon. I've only driven it once because the stupid insurance company didn't email me a certificate to put in the car yet. I noticed my view out the rearview mirror was obstructed by something on both...

    Question regarding a 1995 Cobra

    I owned a 97 Cobra for nine years in which I highly modded the exhaust, suspension, intake, etc for road racing. I know the SN95's ins and outs. I have the opportunity to buy a 95 Cobra with very low miles and a few tasteful mods. However I've owned two C5 Z06s so having something with 400hp...

    In search of my old 97 red Cobra

    Hey folks, looooong time member on here. I had a 97 red Cobra coupe for 9 years from 2004-2013. I sold it to a guy named David in Austin, TX with 62k miles. He contacted me about three years ago and offered to sell it back to me for only $3k with 72k miles but it wasn't running and he didn't...

    96-98 owners with Kenne Bell S/C?

    I'm very likely buying my old 97 back in Feb. It has about $10-11k of aftermarket parts including longtubes, gears, CAI, suspension, etc. I sold it because it wasn't making enough power for me n/a'd and I didn't want to invest anymore cash into it. Now I can buy it back four years later for...

    Converting 96-98 engine to Terminator engine?

    This may have been covered lots of times before but I have a quick question. I'm likely buying my old '97 back for a really good deal soon. Can you replace the lower and upper intake, C heads, and cams from an 03/04 and put a twin screw supercharger on a 96-98 engine?

    To buy or not to buy

    Ok so I've posted before that I have the option to buy my old 1997 Cobra back from the guy I sold it to nearly 4 years ago for half the price...$4,500. It has about 70k miles now and is not running, but he doesn't know why. I only want it back if I can get at least 350rwhp reliably. I'm...

    Getting 350+ rwhp???

    Hey guys as some of you know I have the opportunity to buy my former 97 Cobra back from the guy I sold it to nearly 4 years ago for half the price because it's not running properly. He doesn't know what is wrong so he's willing to go $4500. I just sold my 2014 GT two weeks ago and after having...

    Would appreciate some good advice

    Hey guys, long time member here. Some of you oldtimers will remember me when I had the 1997 Rio Red Cobra. Now I own a 14 GT. I sold the 97 to a guy in TX in March 2013 for $9k. The car had 62k miles and about $11k of suspension, exhaust and interior mods. The car was bone stock when I...

    Question for you 2015+ owners

    Hey guys I have owned a 2014 GT for about four months now and really enjoy it, but my one regret is I didn't wait to find one with the permormance pkg. I have bought an used set of Brembo 4 piston calipers from a 2008 GT500 but not installed yet. I'm debating trading it in for a 2015 with the...

    High temp reading and a/c not cold at idle?

    I have AAA as my auto insurer and the first six months they give you a tracker for a 10% discount. Not only does it track your driving style but it also sends you emails when you have a code thrown. Two weeks ago I was driving it and that night I had an email stating the temp had gone up to...

    satin/brushed silver interior parts?

    My 2014 base model interior doors have much to be desired. I would like to put some satin silver or brushed aluminum style bezels around the door handles and the plate around the window buttons. Any idea where you can get these? Didn't Ford make these as an interior option?

    2015-16 front brakes on 2011-14 GT?

    I ran across an article somewhere stating there was a mounting bracket for sale where you can mount 2015-16 GT front brakes (i.e. 6 piston calipers) on a 2011-14 GT. Now I can't remember where I saw that. The Ford Brembo 2015-16 brakes are the best price out there for six piston calipers...

    S197 Mustang GTs vs any C5 Z06s or C6 base Corvettes?

    Let me hear about any runs you've made against them. I had a C5Z for three years and NEVER one time did I have a Mustang owner attempt to challenge me. It was like my car intimidated them or something. Now that I've sold it and bought a 2014 GT I'm wondering how my car would do against either...

    Hesitates when cold startup?

    Hey folks, I've only had my 2014 GT for two months now. I've read about the S197 GTs hesitating a little when backing up or with a low rpm 1st gear start. My car has 50k miles and I'm the second owner. I've been noticing that when I start it up after sitting overnight that when I take off in...
