Q: Is it true that the 2000 V6 Mustang Coupe came with the cobra suspension package?
I have heard off a website that I cant seem to find anymore that the year 2000 Ford Mustang came with the cobra suspension package because that was the year that cobra mustangs took the year off to fix some issues that they had with the 1999 Cobra. Is this true?
A: I own a 1999 Mustang GT and not even that came with a cobra suspension. I wouldnt think that they would spend the money on a 2000 V6. Ive driven a friends 2000 V6 and trust me it did not feel like it had any performance suspension.
Q: In So Cal, what is the recommended front and rear tire pressure for a 2003 mustang cobra coupe with Eagle F1s?
A: read the tires is says on the tires.
Q: will a 03 mustang cobra 6 speed trans fit a 66 mustang coupe with a 347 stroker ?
any ideas any problems i would come up with if it does fit or what do u recommend
A: these people dont have a clue expecially ahsop or whatever that persons name is. Why would you need a T-5 kit? Which car uses a T-5? The 03 cobra uses a T56 the same phenominal tranny used on the $80k dodge viper and the 66 coupe obviously doesnt use a T5. Yes I bet you can get it to fit but I would need a list of your other components to know what other mods you would need to do in order to make the hook up. Is everything else stock 66 coupe except for the stroker obviously?
Q: will the 17″ wheels from a 1996 ford mustang cobra fit a 2003 ford mustang coupe?
A: Yes
Q: who knows a good website where they sell strong crate engines for a 67 mustang coupe? 427 cobra jet. yeeaahhh?
hi i just wanted to know a good reliable website where they dont scam people i really want a lot of horsepower… thanks
A: www.fordracingparts.com They have a whole crate engine section and the best your gonna find but also the most expensive if it matters.
Summitracing.com
Jegs.com I believe jegs or summit sells the Man O’ War engines about $10,000 they are very strong at least the 351 is so the 427 should be good also.
Q: In the year 2000, did Ford make a Cobra Mustang?
I have a 2000 Ford Mustang Coupe that has a Cobra bumper and decals. Everyone thinks its newer than a 2000 and someone mentioned that in 2000 Ford didnt make Cobra’s. Is this true and does anyone know why and what year they were made?
A: it could be the Canadian model..

Q: buying used Mustang Cobra, help?
I am buying a 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Coupe with the engine from a 04 Cobra. What problams should i look for when i inspect the car? are there any problams that are commen with this car? thancks for your help.
A: quite a few mustangs have swapped in the cobra (terminator) engine, because it is so very strong and likely one of the best engines ford has produced in terms of quality of internal components, and overall performance.
this can be an excellent purchase, and because the engines stand up to a lot of hard driving they are quite dependable.
as answerer Vipassan said have a pro shop ck it out…..
do a full ck including compression test.
basic questions:
-engine swap accompanied by swap of the t-56 6 sp transmission? and was the transmission upgraded to stronger spline??
-what clutch is the car running
-is it running stock supercharger, or has it been replaced and with what??
-what other installations have been done on this car to manage the power from the cobra engine??
-has the car had a custom tune of the engine (if so talk to that shop)
lastly MAKE SURE to see build identification to confirm it is a cobra engine! (lots of clones out there).
this can be a 1st rate car, if all cks out.
when you have time get on http://www.svtperformance.com/
its an owners forum for performance mustangs, register and then get onto the forum for 03/04 terminators (and look for “terminator talk”)
there is very extensive FAQ available there that will basically answer every question you might have about the terminator engine.
any other questions….the guys at svt will quickly help you out……

Q: does any one know the weight of a 1998 ford mustang cobra?
I also need the horsepower and torque,for both the coupe and convertible
A: Coupe wieghts 3393lbs. dont know the convt. wieght. both have 305hp and 300ft-lbs.
Q: Making a Mustang SVT Cobra fast?
I am just curious on this. What would it take to make a 2001 SVT Cobra Coupe be able to do the 0-60 in 4 seconds? No super, turbo, or pro charging being used. How hard would it be to do this?
A: IMPOSSIBLE……with your engine and its stock internals.
you require upgrade to larger engine or to an engine from 03/04 terminator series cobra running mammoth kenne bell or whipple supercharger or with twin turbos.
the 01 cobra ran mustang stock internals and these are simply not up to the heat generated from power you will require from forced induction to get to this time.

Q: what is the difference between a mustang 1968 GT390, fastback, fastback GT (if there is such thing)?
i was wondering the differnce between the 1960’s GT 390 mustang and a ordinary mustang fastback, or is it both the same? also is there a fastback GT?? and what is the difference performance wise between those cars vs a ordinary coupe mustang or a coupe cobra
A: The fast back is a Fastback is a fast back! The GT was an option as was the 390, the smallest of the big block’s. But what fun to drive, it was great in the mustang.
Fastback= body style, coup, convertible, fast back
390= motor size, I6, V8 (289,302,351,390,428,427)
GT=trim level, GT, Mach 1, California special, Boss
Q: Which is better, ‘68 Mustang Coupe or ‘76 Corvette?
I am in the process of buying my first car and have narrowed it down to two choices, a 1968 ford mustang coupe that has a rebuilt cobra 302 engine with <1000 miles on it and a great interior, but some minor rust. My other choice is a 1976 corvette with no rust, rebuilt 383 stroker with less then <5000 miles, trans was just rebuilt around 50 miles ago. Which one will be more reliable as a everyday driver? Is one going to cost significantly more to maintain?
I understand that both cars are impractical first cars for a 17 year old but I have made up my mind so please do not try to dissuade me.
A: Minor rust? Check the cowl for leaks, check the frame rails, floor pans, shock towers. Minor rust has a bad habit of becoming major once you really get into it. If it has thick undercoating so you can’t see the pans well, or the cowl leaks, the Mustang isn’t going to be the best choice.
I’d suggest doing the same of the Corvette. Just because the body is fiberglass, the rest isn’t and that can mean hidden rust issues.
If both clean and the Stangs rust really is minor, I’d go with the Mustang. I’d also say you find out who rebuilt the motors. A reliable shop, with receipts to prove it, or a back yard shade tree mechanic? There’s no guarantee that either did a good job, but you’ve got a better chance with a shop.
Q: Would this rear end work on my 86 mustang coupe?
a 97 cobra rear end?
A: It is a little bit wider and pretty sure the cobras had disc brakes on the back, but other than that it will bolt up but will have to modify brake lines
Q: Mustang Cobra half-shafts misaligned at CV, why?
I’m working on an 03 Mustang Cobra IRS that I just installed in my 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. I replaced both wheel bearings so the knuckles, hubs and axles were taken off. Not sure how the half-shafts looked before disassembly but after disassembly they look like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/booksix/3cce591a.jpg
It may be hard to see in the picture, but if I were to draw a straight line out each end of the shaft, that line would NOT intersect the center of the cv joint (same problem on the diff ends). For some reason the shafts points at the side of the joint. When the shafts rotate they stayed misaligned just as pictured, meaning, the offset shaft doesn’t track around the outside of the joint but rather, it stays offset in the upward position (as pictured).
Also, I’ve tried unbolting the knuckle from the control arms to try and re-align the joints but they don’t seem to move and I’m hesitant to pull out on the shafts to much. Thoughts on the fix and possible problems?
I’m also troubleshooting slack in the diff and a clunk while in a forward gear (i didn’t assemble the diff). Here’s a video on the clunk and on on the slack:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT_GVeb8ajg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5DNyuMRans
Ok, so here’s a new photo of the CV shaft with the suspension at ride height:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/booksix/31ab7dae.jpg
Seems fine so now I’m not sure what to look at next…
Also, I know this video was taken with the suspension hanging but this entire matter came up after hearing the clunk (quite loud) from inside the car, so yes, it is also there at ride height. I never got above 10-15 mph on my test drive because I was afraid of causing more damage but the clunk was definitely speed related (speed up as car speed increased)…
A: If that joint is staying like it looks in the picture, even when the suspension is brought up with a jack, or by placing the tire on the ground, then the CV joint has come apart. There aren’t any short-cuts with that rear suspension (It ain’t like an Escort front axle.) You need to completely unbolt the spindle from the upper and lower arms. Now take the axles out and try and get the needle brgs and retainers back into their proper places on the joint. (you can tell from the twisted boot in your pic that they sliped out because you tried to get them out of the differential without completely unbolting the suspension….bad bad you!!) If you don’t have any luck getting them back together, then the large end of the boot is going to have to come off. If you don’t have new clamps and the proper tool to install the clamps, take it to someone that does. If you do have the tool, remove the boot, put the joint back together, re-grease it with CV joint grease and reinstall the boot. Put the axles back into the diff, put the spindles/knuckles back on and away you go.
The backlash in your video doesn’t seem excessive, and that play would not make your clunk anyway. There is a spec for that differential side gear back lash, but I’ll be damned if I can remember it. But from my years of working on 8 inch diffs, a couple to three inches at the TIRE is fine. If you REALLY think its excessive, then while you have your axles back out to fix the CV Joints, pull the back cover off and see if the pin that holds the spider gears in the carrier is starting to tear up the carrier. If that’s the case, well I think you know what that means.
As far as the vibration/clunk goes. You can’t spin up IRS when the suspension is dropped down like that (The geometry is all out of whack) The suspension needs to be loaded (bearing the weight of the car) Put some jack stands under the lower control arms (preferably all four control arms) and then run it up with the axles level and see what you have.
Good Luck with it
Q: Which car would you choose and why?
1. 2006 subaru wrx sti 6 speed.
2. 2004 ford mustang cobra coupe 6 speed.
Im just curious on the handling for this car, what can i do to make it better….
A: I have to concur with Trev on this one. The Mustang may be a better “hot rod”, but if you expect to own the car for any length of time, you may be much happier with the Subaru. The advanced technology the STI offers -all wheel drive, traction control, turbo, better gas milage, the list goes on,…- makes it worth the purchase.
You will be more then pleased with the handling of the Subaru, especially with AWD. Conversely, the “old” Mustangs are notorious for letting the end hang out in the corners -more fun, but not as safe- but then again, that is what some folks prefer.
Q: 1969 mustang cobras????????
what makes a 69 mustang a cobra mustang? can you you make a non cobra mustang a cobra? how? also was there ever a coupe cobra? what makes them special? what was the top speed of a 69 non gt coupe?
A: You must be talking about the Cobra jets, big 428 ci and lots of horse power. you could get them in the Mach 1, sports roofs and coupes. It didn’t have to be a Shelby to have a Cobra Jet, but all Shelbys had a Cobra Jet. The best was the Super Cobra Jet with Drag Pack
Top speed was around 150 mph and only aero limited
