My new 2003 10th anniversary cobra vert

[Don03cobra]

After waiting for the weather to calm down for even a minute - I finally brought my recently purchased cobra home.
Details -
10th anniversary triple black vert
15K miles
PERFECTLY clean - 10/10 inside and out

2.8 pulley
Afco heat exhancger
flowmaster catback
IRS brace
K&N filter
Subframe connectors welded in
Thats about it - makes 470 hp @ wheels and 490 torque (have dyne graph).

I actually bought this exact same car back in 2003 (it wasn't a 10th ann) and sold it due to divorce/hardship - Ive regretted it ever since.

This car doesn't feel as "tight" as my 2003 did back in 2003. It feels great - but not quite as tight and the ride is a little rough.
I'm wondering if replacing the original shocks/struts might be in order?
The suspension is 100% oem and original

Ideas?
I'm not going to drag race it - just weekend toy

Btw - it feels GREAT!!!

I would look into subframe connectors. They should tighten everything up well seems how it is a vert

The car does have sub frame connectors welded in - I'm still thinking replacement oem type shocks/struts.

Congrats from an original silver 10th vert owner. That makes two of the thousand made here. Ours are way cooler then the rest (faster too). epper::dancenana:

Sounds like a real nice ride! .... Post a few pics!

No pics?

BTW - I flew out and drive the car back 770 miles in a straight shot. Got almost 22mpg - not bad for averaging 80mph.
I'm having trouble uploading pic's…. its asking for a url.. can I simply upload the photos from my computer to the website? Or do they need to be hosted somewhere?

 

[MassDSGsvt]

Put them in a host like photobucket. Then Colby and paste url.

I have only a couple of pictures that the seller texted to me about a month ago. I will get some good photos once the fresh snow goes away and I can get her out and wash her.

 

[Don03cobra]

Ok - apparently I'm not smart enough to make the photos show up on the post… but the link kind of works...

 

[b_dike]

Still no pics?... :bash:

congrats on the purchase....our cars are cousins. mine has 16k on it

As for the ride, what mods did your old car have? I'd reccomend getting some H&R race springs. That should help alot with the ride


No need to replace the stock shocks/struts unless they are worn. The Bilstein's are a very good unit.

my original terminator vert had bone stock suspension…. I seem to remember it felt like a new car.. this one isn't bad. but doesn't feel like a brand new car…
