I am in need of the following 6th gear for my terminator. The transmission shop that it is being rebuilt at cannot locate it either.
Does anyone happen to have this part or can direct me to someone/shop who does? Thank you in advance!

Hello,
After 18 years and 106,000 miles about 85% of that at the 600 RWHP level with a basic 2.3 Whipple setup, my mint 03 Street driven 03 Cobra has an internal engine knock.
Being an old man with slow reflexes whom seldom runs the car more than moderately up thru the gears, being careless ...

This has been probably beat to death.
I roll pretty good, luckily I have not really had to test the original brakes on the 03 in an emergency at Least at any real speed.

Continental Extreme Contact DW 285/40-18 rear, 255/45/17 front for a bit over $800
I went with narrower fronts to avoid traming in the crappy NH back roads I drive on and to give the rims some protection with a little higher profile sidewall.

It has been so long since I've done anything but oil changes to my Cobra I'm either lucky or neglectful. ( Ok, I fixed the exhaust and put a Die Hard in it tis winter)
With a Whipple and supporting mods, I still have the original clutch at + 70K!

Back in June of 2015, while enthusatically accelerating off an on ramp, My Cobra had the O2 sensor bung blow out.
I attribute this due to 9 years of thermal shock cycling and that the air conditioner condeser allway dripped on the pipe.
Stainless Works replaced the downpipe at no cost...
Technically consider it a "crate motor"!
This little puppy arrived on our loading dock.
My first thought is if it had 2 more cylinders, it would look good under the hood of my old 03.

I'm not going to criticize, as I still have my original clutch with +65,300 miles on Whipple Cobra, so I am not one for leaving the hole hard, but this guy needs to stick to roll racing.

What is a fair price for 4 17x9 OEM painted SVT rims in good shape?
I'd like to put tuhe money toward AFS 18 x10.5 replicals for the rear, or any other same size wheel you could recommend.
I think a well tuned 03-04 gets better mileage than a comparable hp GT500.

II traced the problem down to the T56 Transmission not pushing the plunger down far enough on the back-up switch to complete the circuit.

Would you give up 19% in power to weight, i.e. about 1 second and 10 MPH trap, 10 MPH of top end for:
An extra gear in and a more sophisticated manual.
Brakes that more than likely will handle track conditions better.
Better ride and nimble handling, steering.
Sharper interior, ergonomics...
I just posted a similar thread over on the 13 GT500 forum to get some feedback. My 03 is nothing special, and was wondering how it pulls compared to the 13 GT500. I'm to old and scred to do much roll racing to crazy speeds, so some forum feedback makes for good bench racing.
Has anyone...
