Congrats on the new ride. My first cobra was (and still is) a Rio Red '97. They're a lot of fun but get expensive if u wanna go fast. Just enjoy it and make it the way you like it.

If ya wanna find out for sure what the gears are, jack up the rear and have someone turn the wheel slowly while you count the revolutions of the driveshaft. Cooling issues were definite with 96's, not sure about 97's. I'm sure there may be other things, and I'm sure there are others who will chime in on that...but on the other hand, welcome!!!!
