Just bought a Cobra

[SCSnake]

I see this horse is getting beat over here too. 4:10's do not render 1st gear useless in a 96 or newer cobra. People that say that do so without ever driving one with that ratio. Currently my car has a 4:10, but in my garage I have another differential with 4:56's that I run whenever I get the urge. With the 4:10 the car will run about 28-30mph in 1st gear. On the interstate doing my daily commute at average speed 73-78 I get 19-22mpg. RPM at 73 is 2645. The cobra red line is nearly 7k rpm. Even with the 4:56's in I was under 3200 rpm on my interstate driver. That is hardly pushing this car "too hard", nor rendering any gears useless. If you need any more opinions on gear ratio's in 96 or newer Cobras there is a guy that goes by fourcam281 over on the corral. Tell him anything over 3:73 is too much and standby. The bashing will continue until opinions change.
