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.

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.

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 Originally Posted by wickedcobra

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."Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
