I’ve lived in Florida my entire life (70 years) and lived in many different cities from the Keys, Panhandle, Clearwater, Orlando and now Titusville. In my mind it used to be a great place to live. Then came Disney. After that it started going downhill. Then came the developers buying up all the...
cj428mach, I can appreciate your thoughts on the choice. No doubt the terminator would run circles around the Boss. For me though it is more of an emotional decision. That Boss was my first car after getting out of the Army after my 1 tour in Vietnam. In fact, it was my first car. I bought it...
AJ, good to hear from you, my friend. Glad all is well with you. I appreciate you reminding me of the sale and you are correct, at the time you were selling it I was looking at a 1970 Boss 302, as I used to own one right after I got out of the Army and was trying to work a deal to get this one...
I'm trying to see if I can locate my old 03 Cobra. I ordered the car from Tropical Ford in Orlando, FL in May of 2002. The car came in on June 24th of 2002 and I picked it up. I didn't allow them to do anything to the car other than offload it. I brought it home and detailed it myself. While...
Beautiful car, my friend. Is she still for sale or has someone realized what a great car it is and bought it ? I’m a little biased with the color though. Just wish I was running that kind of HP numbers. Did you also upgrade the half-shafts and driveshaft ? Sorry if it was listed but I’m on page...
Tell me about the 13 GT500 as I’m looking for low mile car with the PP AND TRACK PAC, ELECTRONICS With nav, dual A/C, and stripe package. Color is flexible. You can PM me if we are getting off topic on this forum.
TOOTHLS14, were those numbers done on pump gas (93) ? No doubt she is a fine looking car. I’ve had my share of black cars over the years and when their clean, you can’t beat them. One of the cars I had was an 87 Grand National. One of those I should have kept. Most of them from the factory had...
AJ, this is John, the guy that sold you the 03 sonic blue Cobra down in Florida. Do you still have the car or did you sell it ? I have a 2015 GT but was looking to get a 14 Shelby GT500. I'm tired of waiting for Ford on the coming Shelby GT500's. Even then the HP numbers may not be much better...
Cman01 and Snoopy49 thank you both for the information. Both great ways for me to make that determination now. It's really a shame these dealers have no clue what the car their selling actually consists of, but I've found that to be the case every single time I went to buy a car. I always knew...
Bump for a sweet ride. I'm actually looking for a 2014 GT500, but need to sell my 2015 GT first. I'm tired of waiting for Ford to figure out what their going to do with the next version of the Shelby GT500. Are the HP numbers your quoting rear wheel ratings ? Just curious.
I'm thinking of buying a 2014 Shelby GT500 and see many advertised, but in a lot of cases, the dealer doesn't have the window sticker and knows even less about the cars options than most people. There is one advertised as grabber blue when in reality it is deep impact blue. That's how dense some...
I have a 2012 GT with 3:73 gears and am considering the expense of a cold air intake to bring the HP and torque numbers up from stock. I looked at several different brands, some of which came with tunes. Then I got to thinking about possibly changing the stock intake for a Boss 302 intake. But...
I bought a new 2012 Mustang GT premium package with 6 speed and the 3.73 gears. A friend has the same car, only auto. and standard gears, but different color. When I was looking at his engine comparment, I noticed he had a shock tower bracket installed that was great looking with "Mustang GT" on...
OK guys, I just bought this car new and got a great deal on it. It already has the 3.73 rear end. With that said, I want to find out from all you guys - that have already been modding these coyote motors - to find out which mods will give me the best bang for the buck. Any suggestions are...
I just bought a 2012 GT Premium with the GT coupe accessory package 5 that has the hood scoop, decklid panel, side scoops, pedestal rear spoiler and quarter window louvers. I got it home and was just checking it all out and noticed the glass on the rear quarter windows was a little dirty from...
I have a 96 GT with about 150K on the engine. Never been into it. Runs great except right now it needs new plugs and wires and possibly a new pair of coil packs. My goal is to increase the total spark to the plug so it burns cleaner/hotter/more fuel efficient. If I were to install a pair of MSD...
I have a set of the original satin colored rims that came with my 03 Cobra when I first bought the car. This was when the chrome rims were not yet available. When they were available, I got the chrome rims and put them on the Cobra and boxed up these satin rims. I want to mount them on my 96 GT...
I just replaced my 96 GT factory hood with a fiberglass Cobra R hood. The factory hood had a ground strap attached that I assume was to help the radio reduce static, specifically on AM radio. I listen to AM talk radio a lot while in the car and the static is driving me crazy. It's not just...
I am thinking of buying a cowl induction hood and started to wonder if it would be a noisier ride without the insulation under there like the factory hood. How about it, any people with a cowl induction hood or those that decided against it that can give me some advise on noise or any other...
I am considering the purchase of an HO Fibertrends Cobra R inch and a half cowl induction hood. I know it will look good. My question is will it make it louder inside the car since there is no insulation on it like the factory hood and it is raised with the gap in the back close to the...
I have a 96 GT that I have to change out both headlamp assemblies. They still look good but the collar on the back where the knurled nut secures the bulbs is cracked and that will eventually will allow water in. I have never done more than just change the bulbs in the past and was wondering if...
