Default New 03 Cobra Owner thats speechless!

Hello everyone! Im new to the forum & looking for suggestions & any helpful information that I should know about my 2003 cobra. It has 19,000mi on it & is in prestige condition. Red with Tan convertible top w/black leather & tan suede inserts. THis car is beyond my wildest dreams that are fuinally a reality! I started out 16 with a V^ mustang & now Im 22 with a cobra! Anyways, what are good starter upgrades? Also, whats a good transmission fluid to use? Is 5w-30 or 10w-30 oil ok to use in this car? ANy input is much appreciated!

1) welcome to the boards. 2) just use regular automatic tranny fluid.

and for the mods, add a smaller pulley, tb, intake, and full exhaust......YOULL EASILY be at 420+whp. so, you got the main ingredient(the car), now, all you have to is decide how much $$ you want to spend and how fast you want to go. so, have fun. btw, what color is it ??

Congrats on the Cobra....sounds like a nice find. Post up some pics. Also listen for valve train noise..if its there it can be fixed while you have warranty left.

Great buy. I wish I had went with a Corba from the start. Now I find myself adding all type s of after-market items to the GT I own now just to give it a little bit more bit!! Best of Luck with the Corba!!!
