I've had my 01 cobra for about six months now. Never had any problems with it until recently. Before, I have read many posts about all these problems with thier cobra and never really believed it, but now I do. No one else I know has an 01 cobra so I don't know if the noises, thunks, pinging, and hard start ups are normal. Currently, my cobra is at the dealer getting serviced for the "check engine'' light coming on. I have told them about the many noises coming from the car but I am afraid they are going to tell me this is normal. I love my cobra and have always backed up ford, especially in front of SS and trans am owners. I had planned to keep this car for a very long time, but with all these problems it probably wouldnt last. I am also afraid if when the warranty expires my car will continue to give me problems in turn making expesive repairs. What should I do? Sell my cobra and hope a much better 02 cobra comes out, buy a 02 ss comaro or just keep it and pray it will be trouble-free for a long time?
