Hey Guys,

So i finally got myself a cobra. Its an '01 convertible, all black. 56k miles and in perfect shape. From what i can tell its pretty much stock except for the 275s in the rear. What do you guys recommend for my first upgrades?

i don't plan on modifying the exhaust currently. it it worth a TB, MAF and intake? also, i have an Xcal2 from my gt which will work on this. will i see any gains since the current tune already is for 93 octane?

 

Wow that's a good looking Vert
Though I am a little partial. Let me know when you are planning to upgrade the wheels cause I'll take the stockers off of your hands for you [:-]

 

BTW the VERY first mod should be to get rid of the 4X4 look.

 

Congrats! Looks clean. time to start modding...

 

i'm gonna stick with the stockers for a while. i'd rather spend my $$ on engine mods first. the first theing i bought for it was a cobra for the grille, which i think looks awesome.

i was thinking maybe get a CAI and then regear it. its quick with 3.27s but i bet it would be sick with 3.73s.

 

+1 mine is on eibach pro kit. yore car will not only look sick but the handling gain is there!

 

do you get any bumpsteer? i have the ibach springs on my 97 gt and it has wicked bad bumpsteer

 

3.73 is nothing. Your going to want to get 4.10's Many people stil regret not going to 4.30's.

 

i have 4.10s now in my GT, to me the gears are a little to short. I plan on throwing on a supercharger later on so i think 3.73s would be good. i don't drag race, and i would do some highway driving every so often.

 

Why don't you want to change the exhaust? That is usually a first mod for the average Cobra owner.
