    Question on boost after X-pipe / catback installation

    I'm back in the saddle again, with an '04 convertible. I really missed this car since I sold my '03 coupe a year and a half ago. I bought my '04 stock 2 weekends ago and installed Bassani X-pipe and catback this weekend. My question is this: I was running near 10 PSI boost in all gears...

    Looking for '03/'04 Cobra in CA

    Sold my '03 coupe when I moved to Santa Barbara. VERY BAD MISTAKE. :( Now I've lost my will to resist, and so I'm in the market. Prefer black or the 2004 yellow. Anything out there? Also -- here's a really stupid question -- do any dealers still have new 2004s???????

    Still can't see my sig pic, Ripper. Help?

    Never mind....I got it figured out! Now it won't let me delete this thread though.... Anyway, I got the sig pic working. For some reason, it didn't like the link to the Corvette Forum.... :D

    Can stock '03 half shafts handle ET streets?

    I know the half shafts are beefed up for the '03 Cobra, but enough to take repeated launches on ET streets? (Assume for sake of argument that mods will not take me over 450 rwhp....) I ask, because I know the half shafts are the weak link in the Viper driveline, and no one lasts very long...

    My other snake (Viper) vs. cocky mofo on sport bike

    I was cruising around at about 20 mph after going through a stop sign and this dude on a sport bike (sorry, I don't know what kind or how many cc -- maybe it was a Ninja, but I don't know sport bikes) is right next to me pacing me. Ok, obviously he wants to play, so I giv him a rev and he takes...

    Thinking of BBK X-pipe to go with my Borla catback -- any thoughts?

    I couldn't resist temptation any more, so I bought the Borla catback system (#14858) yesterday. It sounds great, but the car is still way too quiet -- plus I'm interested in the extra ~15 rwhp from an X-pipe system. So I'm looking at the Bassani prices of ~$600 vs. $420 that BBK quoted me...

    Any dyno numbers on Borla 14858 catback?

    I've spoken to Borla several times this week, and though they claim to have dyno'd two '03 Cobras with their catback system (14858), they aren't telling me the numbers.... Anyone out there have some dyno results?

    Borla vs. Bassani exhaust

    I will soon be ready to put aftermarket exhaust on my Cobra, and I'd appreciate some advice. My reasons are simple and probably important in making this decision. In order of importance: (1) I want the car to sound as badass as possible (yet be street legal) (2) I want the car to breathe...

    Bone stock dyno results: 363 rwhp, 365 rwtq (SAE) !!!

    I'm just loving this car!!! :-D :-D :-D The above results were done at R&D dyno in Gardena: Darren is a great guy. Cf was 1.00 at the shop today (a miracle!). I made three pulls: first two in totally stock configuration, and the third with the air intake disconnected from the air filter...

    0-60 in 4.63 sec!!!

    I took a consultant of mine out in the Cobra this afternoon and showed him the result of blown V8 muscle on the road. After he had a shit-eating grin, I pulled out my G-Tech and whipped off a 0-60 run of 5.01 sec -- with his 300 lb body in the car and traction control on! So I knew the 4.9 sec...

    Stealth operations

    I'm loving the "stealth operations" aspect of the '03 Cobra, as I know some of you are. Driving the car yesterday on Pacific Coast Highway, I came upon some work-of-art ricemobile with wild green paint (definitely not a color offered as OE from Honda I will guess ;-) ), wings, stickers...

    Picked up my black coupe today -- YEEHAW! Love this car!!! (Initial observations)

    To summarize with a smily (or is the singular smilie?): :D I love this car! [Sorry this ended up getting long, BTW. I guess I'm excited!] Ok, so first I can't believe I'm a Ford guy now. If you had told me a year ago I would buy a Ford (other than a Lightning), I would've told you...

    Wow! My black coupe is already here!

    Got a call from Don Kott Ford today. Apparently I was #2 on their waiting list for a black '03 coupe, and they were saying this weekend that it would probably be about a month, but they would get back to me today. So imagine my surprise when they told me a black coupe came in today and #1 on...

    Another whacky question....Can the '03 Cobra be used as a tow vehicle?

    I know, I know....If I really need to be towing sh** around, I should just by a Lightning.... But I can't get this '03 Cobra idea out of my head. So, what do you guys know about this???

    I bit the bullet and put a deposit down....Any feedback on Don Kott Ford?

    I've never done business with them before. That follows logically from the fact that I've never bought a Ford before. Anyway, anybody ever do business with them? I'm hoping I don't get screwed.

    Question on '03 Cobra price

    Is MSRP a good deal right now on '03 Cobras? Can they be had below MSRP? Do you think prices will be lower later in the year? (I.e., should I wait to buy until the fall?) Finally, looking into your crystal ball, how much do you see '03 Cobras depreciating in the first year (assuming ~10K...

    What do you guys do for slicks?

    I asked this question over on the stangnet SVT forum, but no one seems to know the answer or care. Maybe you all can help. I have to believe there are some people on this board who are interested in drag racing their Cobras.... So, I'm seriously considering buying an '03 Cobra, but I'm...
