    What's the official build date?

    With all the dates and terms for them that are out there (buck, merge, blend, etc), which one is considered the official build date? And is it the day it starts building or the day it finishes? And where is that date officially documented? Just curious, I've seen / heard lots of opinions...

    First 100 Miles - initial impressions (Long)

    Like a kid on Christmas morning, I got the call and made my way to the dealership as quickly as I could. The first thing I noticed was the paint. I had been back and forth on this...Grabber blue to race red, maybe Deep Impact Blue, back to race red....finally, lets try Red Candy. Even dirty...

    Car Arrived at the dealership today...

    Going to pick her up in about an hour. No make ready / PDI (I will handle those duties). She has every option except the cover...I still can't believe how expensive a mustang can price out with a $69K MSRP...wow. But from what I can tell from all of you, it should be worth every penny...

    Sorry if I missed this in a consolidated thread already, but I wanted to try to get the facts on weight implications of the various options. I love the creature comforts but just wondering what we are giving up to get them (besides CASH)... Appreciate any input on getting correct weights...

    '00R Newbie Questions

    Sorry for the dumb questions here in advance...I am making use of the search function where possible. Did this car come with a Diff cooler and if not, is this a common mod? How about a Diff Brace, there is a Kenny Brown brace on there now, I suspect it was added later but I am not sure...

    Ford racing / Borla Axle Back

    These have less than 500 miles on them. I bought them for my GT500 and the only reason I am selling is that I had the anniversary package installed and they replaced the exhaust as part of it. I paid $319 and will sell for $200 shipped (most anywhere). This is an awesome exhaust, like new...

    Did the 93 Cobra come with a leather wrapped shift knob?

    It didn't mention it in the sticky on the differences, so I guess it didnt. For some reason I thought it came with one instead of that old plastic one that the GT had...can anyone confirm?

    Ok, the low oil level sensor in the oilpan of my car seems to have been replaced with a temp sensor for an after market gauge. I also think the connector from the harness to the original sensor was clipped. Can anyone post a pic of the underneath of their car that would have a close up shot of...

    Wheel Rubbing when turning

    Hey All, picked up a low mileage 93 Red on Black cloth and all is well, except for one thing. When I cut the wheel hard to either side, the inside of the wheel and tire are actually rubbing on the a-frames. There appears to be a metal plate attached to the a-frame to prevent the tire from...

    Anyone have one for sale? Given that these were not cobra specific and the same part for a number of years, you would think these would be easier to find. Thanks!

    How bad is this?

    I don't have the nerve to pull the trigger and do the "warranty unfriendly" mods, so I have resorted to modding the beater! I have to say, I am having fun with it. Found some cheap rims on e-bay, so the truck is sporting new shoes! I am actually looking at exhaust, air intake, stereo equip...
