Got my 03 cobra about 6 months ago. I have two concerns about her performance. One I get wheel hop when I put my foot in it. No smooth smokin the tires just a shudder that will take the filling out of you teeth. Next, about every other time I start the car if I haven't driven it for a week or so. I get a puff of blue smoke when I start it. It's not using oil as far as I can tell. But it really worries me...... Other than that I love the car.

I have a black 04 convertible that I only drive in nice weather and on weekends. That is one thing that I do not like about the IRS. I would like to keep the IRS and eliminate the wheel hop as well if anyone out there has any suggestions. I have seen some items on rpm outlet but don't know how well they work. As far as that blue smoke goes I don't have a clue. I have never had that problem but I'm sure there is someone on here that knows what that is.

Get that smoke situation checked out.

That CANT be good.

I went to Ford as well as an independent american performance shop and they said as long as its not using oil the smoke is no big deal.
It kind of bothers me though. Can anyone tell me some test that I could have done to make sure its nothing serious. Maybe compresion?

is it just when you start up? My friend has a turboed 240 that does the same thing.. nothing at all wrong with it and it put good numbers and had a good a/f ratio at the dyno.
