Thank you for that link. There is quite a lot of information on there and I'm sure it will come in handy while Im reseaching the car I wish to buy. I see you have an '04 Cobra and that is the very car I have grown very interested in. Do you like it? What if any problems have you had that could aid me in my search for one myself?

I love everything about this car. I use it as my DD so by no means in this car a garage queen haha. I havent had any problems with it other then the interior is made cheaply and makes alot of weird sounds lol. Just make sure before you do any power mods or even launch the car, You buy a Billit Flow IRS brace. Buy all your supporting mods before you add power. I use to have a 07 gt that I traded in for this car and I have never looked back. Happy Hunting for your bra!

The fact that you traded in an '07 for the Cobra speaks volumes for the car. Also the fact that it is not a garage queen very much interestes me because I was looking at '03 M5's and I have heard they are maintenance ******, pardon the language. I got shell shocked from all the people on bimmerforums talking about all the problems they have had with them.[/quote]
Haha...Yea just stick with a cobra. The only time I don't drive this car is in the crazy snow we get here in chicago sometimes, other then that rain, dark, night, w/e its comin out to tear up the streets haha.

My understanding is that the head tick is on the drivers side only...and that only the head would have to be replaced....They do make a cooling mod. for the Cobra, cost about $120.....Mine has no problem that I know of, but I'm going to install the cooling mod. over the winter!
Cobra is the BEST, IMO!!! ...and I've owned some 25 stangs!

Make sure you buy the one from lethalperformance.com You do not have to remove the blower or anything. In my pics I posted in my other 2 threads you can see where I spliced in the head cooling mod.

I did it myself with my friend. It comes with pretty good directions. Buy it and look it over. If you don't think you can do it I believe most mechanics charge $150-200 for the install.
