JC2001

Was it Bill Franco? He came out and changed a bunch of parts, trans, shaft, diff, etc. That didn't work so I dialed out the vibe with a couple of hose clamps around the driveshaft. Worked on both the '99 and '01. I checked out a GT500 while I was getting a new battery put in the car today. Maybe I'm getting old (I am!), but for $44,000+ I'd much rather have something like a BMW 335. The GT500 struck me as a warmed over body style with very few comfort/convenience options. The engine is a rush, but that gets old quick without the other pieces. Probably why I put so few miles on the Cobra. It's too bad Ford doesn't package a tarted-up version of the Mustang that has all the modern bells and whistles. Jeff

Wow. Old Home week. I check the Mustang sites about once a year. It's good to see some of the oldtimers names come up. Do you guys remember my first post titled "Shakin All Over"? I think I was the first '99 Cobra owner to report on the drivetrain vibe problem and get the ball rolling for the recalls. I think it was on this site, but it could have been on Corral, or Corner Carvers, or Stangnet, or Musclestang, etc. My user name was JC at the time. I crashed the '99 in my second season doing the SCOA event at Road America. After that I swore off racing and traded it in on an '01 Cobra 'vert. I've only got 16000 miles on the '01. I'd sell it if it weren't so much fun to fry the tires every once in a while. Of course the wheel hop ends that pretty quick. Later.... JC
