I own the 03 Cobra with the weird noise. The rear end is going to be rebuilt due to a few issues. I wanted to know if any other 03-04 Cobra owners change their gears and if so to what gear? I drive the car daily and often travel from state to state to visit family and friends. The car won't see the track but maybe once to see how the new gaers work. The car pushes around 2800 rpms at 90mph once in 6th gear. Should I have the same gear (3.55) or change to 3.73's or 3.90's?

I have 373's and love them. Great on highway and great for racing. All around good gears.
I would opt for 3.73's, thats what I will be shooting for soon:Devious:.

Depends on your mods. If you have plans on high power and want some sort of traction the stock gears are great, otherwise if you are stock for the most part a 3.73 wouldn't be a bad upgrade. I would never change out my 3.55's.
4.10's would be fun lol
Man Craig you have some big plans for that Shelby huh lol next thing I know you'll have a polished KB 2.8 under there.

Any talk of a blower upgrade at my house is not received very well:d066:.I would most likely be sleeping in the car at that point...

i happen to have 3.90's and love them.
That is a great question, I have a 2007 and an auto car. My car came stock with 3:31 but I was thinking of also going to 3:73. The dealer will do it and give a 1 year 12k warranty. Does any one have any feed back on 1. s197 auto 3:73 gear change and 2. Having the dealer do it?:laughing1:

What does the dealer charge? What do use you your car for, daily driving or just weekends?

Now that I've got 50000 miles on the car, It's going to be babied and only driven a few times a week. If it goes out of town, it will be trailered by my truck. I want to start Mods now.
I mostly drive my car as a daily driver but was hoping to get a little more off of the line.

No see you just gotta find a girl who likes to go fast too! Of course if it were someone like me you would be in trouble cuz I'd say fine you can do that but I get to put an equal amount of money into my car too :yes:
Then it might end up getting nasty.... fighting over who's car is better and who gets to drive what car when.... oye, maybe you're better off with a wife that just says NO lol.

Oh how a woman who actually liked cars and motorcycles would be nice...it seems most don't want much to do with either one unfortunately. Someone needs to develop a method to brainwash them into telling you to spend more on your car. :yes:

I would have to agree with AZsonicSnake. I would like to have my wife agree to getting me a Notch Fox.:laughing:

Andrew- my wife and i have this process allmost worked out, i get car parts, she gets tattoos. it gets kinda spendy, but i rarely get an arguement, so long as she is getting something. might explain some of our debt though. lol...
