Default my cobra smokes...

Okay, so I havent noticed it but my buddy says it does. Sometimes when I start it and then when I dusted him on the highway at higher rpm's it smoked, said the smoke was dark. Anyone elses do this? rings? valve o-rings? Something to be worried about?

Just about any car will toss a fog when running at high RPMs.. Have you noticed if your going threw oil at all?

I've seen cars w/ low miles make a smoke when at WOT, including mine.. I could be because your burning oil or but I think its because your pushing such a large volume of air so fast that the car isn't burning the fuel at an efficient rate so you get smoke..

I've been behind new Lexus's and seen them kick it down and get a black puff of smoke.. I think thats pretty normal when running at WOT..

Thats normal for n/a cobra's. Everyone i see on the road...when they kick i down it smokes. I know for a fact mine does. Your running 93 octane right....? If you hauling *** then you slow down and turn the car off, chances are there is some unburned fuel in the combustion chamber that gets burned when you crank up the car. Sometimes i notice it on mine.

ok unless your little miss dazy in the cobra. I highly doubt that. Then your going to burn off a little bit of oil. especially if you have over 60k on the motor. But if your suckin down like 3 quarts per 1000 miles like freewilly's 99 then you need a rebuild.

yeah that is normal when you decelerate like that it builds crankcase pressure and forces a little oil into the intake which then gets burned not a big deal, you can get a oil breather filter that goes where the oil cap goes that should put that to a end.
