Default Just got a 01 Cobra

Hi guys I'm new here but I am the proud new owner of a 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra. It has only 20,233 miles on it and it's in fantastic condition, mineral gray color and everything is currently still stock. I wanted to join here and show you guys the new ride and ask for any advice from cobra owners.

Anyways here she is :

Sweet find! I never modded my 01 Cobra, so I don't have any advice for ya, other than to drive it a helluva lot more than the guy before you did!!

Maybe slap some silver/mirror inserts into the COBRA on the rear bumper, so the people behind you can more easily see what you're driving

Welcome to MF. Congrats on the purchase, it looks real clean. Since it is still stock I would put on the IRS brace, and sub frame connectors. If you think it is fast and fun now, you should try it with some 4:10 gears. Then lower it.

Is an IRS brace as needed on the 01 as it is on the 03/04? I thought that was maingly a Terminator issue?

You still need to brace it. If you get into it, and have wheel hop it will break.
