key words on the 03 admitted

[eddy z]

for those of you have not read yet the lastest SVT Euthasis mail mag. There was nice wrtie up about the 03.. Most news we knew about, but two wrods stood out as SVT/Ford are finally coming clean on:

"Underrated" 390hp

"At Least" 20hp held back in the exhaust to meet certain guidleines, ect...

All true we knew, but good to hear its officail...

I also liked how they said " Two own a high performance vehicle and not drive it in a high performance fashion should be a crime" and this" slicks will do you wonders, and likely make a stock cobra a reliable low 12 second terror".

But then they contradict themselves in the warranty guide when they say.....

What is not covered under warrenty

Damage caused by Misusing the vehicle.... such as racing or using the vehicle as a stationary power source.

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

Did you just receive this issue? The only issue I have so far is the July/August issue.

After going from a blown 98 cobra to the 03. The IRS is awsome for flinging it around a corner and staying planted. I love it.:beer:

Wouldn't that be anyone who heats up the tires in the water box as the strip?

I was thinking it might mean having it dyno'd. That would make sense after the 99 mess if you have your car dyno'd to confirm it is not making the expected power your warranty is void because you had it dyno'd. Cool dilemma.

If you open your hood there should be a sticker saying dyno restrictions apply. However I believe this is just due to the Traction control.:beer:

No, like in Predator where Arnie cuts the belt on an old truck that was pumping water...

Hey! Here in Dixie, we call that an "oil fired power station"! Helps keep the flame on the stills.
