New Cobra owner

[randg4603]

Hey guys

My name is Randy and I recently purchased an 04' Cobra from Florida. I live in Cleveland, OH. I'm 26 and a mechanical engineer. I've been learning a lot from the forums just by browsing over the last month and a half and look forward to learning more from you all.

I bought the car for some weekend and summer fun, and my wife and I like to cruise. Not planning on taking it to the track. Looking for a mid 400's yet an enjoyable toy. I'll be installing a 2.76 upper, Idler set, and getting a tune. Right now it has a K&N w/cover, Catless SLP X-pipe, welded in Flowmasters, it's lowered and has a Steeda Tri-Ax

Here are a few pictures:

My wifes 2011 CRV and our 2003 Focus (my daily 60 mile commuter) also have a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Reasonably clean and stock engine bay

I ordered my paperwork, too!

Congrats! im jealous as i wish mine was silver.

hmm, do you have any long term goals for the cobra?

 

[selbyvince]

damn that thing is clean, looks really good silver. whats the millage?

 

[CobraBob]

That's a nice looking Cobra for sure. Stance is already good. Nice silver paint, and the black bumper inserts add a nice contrast. I like it! You'll like the addition of the 2.76 and tune.

Thanks! Long term goals are to maintain it and enjoy! I'll probably get a set of 10.5's out back this summer. Other than that just keep it clean and classy.

Thanks. Yeah you should see the interior. I'll try to take a reasonable picture. Looks brand new.

Thank you. It has your gaskets, too :beer:

Thats what i'm hoping for. No It has the Steeda tri-ax shifter and gaskets, I really like how it feels as is. Thanks man.

have fun!

Haha I know how that goes! I've had a couple fun cars, including an 04' GTO and a "mod-bug" money pit SRT-4. I'm going to try to be mature this go around. :rollseyes We'll see, though.

Car looks really good, Congrats!! I love silver on these cars!!

Great! You have much less transmission noise entering the cabin with the gasket. :thumbsup:

Although the MGW shifter is the best out there, if you like the Steeda TriAx then stick with it. No reason to spend money on a new shifter if you don't really need it. I had the Tri-Ax on my '03 Cobra and liked it a lot.

Yeah. It's still noisy compared to other 5 and 6 speed cars i've had, but tolerable.
