Much Needed Modification for my 1997 Mustang Cobra!

- I got some BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2s on the Cobra. Still, with no plates, I ventured off into the wild to see how it drove. Stupid? yes. Fun? very yes

Your facial expressions when driving is the funniest ever
You’re getting more famous bro, that’s why a lot of people are approaching you and talk to you. And because you are an approachable and cool guy that’s why. Your facial expressions when driving are priceless. 😂
Had one of these for 4 years…these need 4.10s. Such a difference. I miss it. Great car. Would love to get another.
Hey man, maybe race a stock 10th gen SI? just to have a baseline? Love the vid bro!
I like that you kept the original wheels. To me they are the best looking. My Mystic was 4 months old when i lost track of my place on the road and took a leap over small hill. Had a vibration and wobble. The Ford service manager came out and told me "I don't know what happened, but we need to waranty three of your wheels" I told him I didn't know what happened either. I stayed with radial TAs .
4.10s 🙏🏿 it's what people have been doing since these cars came out. The best gear set for all mustangs between 94-2010. A lot of people actually run 4.30s and 4.56s but those are too short if it's not a track only car. 4.10s are where it's at man I promise. As a guy who has owned a 1973 427 mach 1, owns a 1990 fox body gt rally car, owned a 96 cobra, owned a 2008 mustang gt, owned a 2014 mustang gt California Special, owned a 2018 mustang gt performer package 1, owned a 2017 mustang GT350.. and driven many many many other mustangs... 4.10 gears wake these cars up especially Dohc 4.6s v8s. You have a great RUclips channel and I watch it all the time. Just want to put in my two cents 🙏🏿 keep on making great vids man!
430 and 456 are not too short for street cars. You still don't quite turn 3k at 70 mph with a 456 gear and 26 inch tire. With a taller tire it would be even less.
w exhaust and cold air, alignment, you do 13.5.
Love the red paint! I have a black 97 Cobra.. came pretty stock like yours except with cat back flo masters and 3.73 gears.. I've done QA1 shocks and struts all around, QA1 rear upper and lower control arms, summit racing short throw shifter, ford performance clutch/flywheel/pilot bearing, etc and a Bassani X Pipe with hi flo cats (IL emissions).. I also had to delete the IMRC, so if you get a check engine light, that is probably it. Good luck with the car, she's a beauty!
Still have your 97? I have a twin to it.
It’s so cool how much you’re running into people who watch your videos, Your channel is really growing!
Love these cobra videos !! Just picked up an 01 cobra!! Can’t wait to see your build progression
Oooo that is going to sound so nice with bolt-ons! I can't wait! 🤣. Definitely glad you washed it, it was bugging the hell out of me lol.
Your awesome Cameron really good chill dude. Wishing hope one to meet you man.
I would love to have a 03 or 04 Mach 1 with the shaker hood! Your Cobra is sick though man, can't wait to see what you turn it into.
Tires make all the difference! Glad you can enjoy some traction and have some piece of mind too!
In regards to cars to run against, I’d say: 8th/9th gen SI, late gen Prelude, stock E36 M3, 3rd gen Camaro IROC-Z or Z28, 4th gen LT1 Camaro, C4 Corvette, Turbo MR2, new Toyota Camry for sh*ts and giggles.
Personally I think an 86/ BRZ or Miata would make for a fun close race. Also an S2000 would be dope as well.
My thoughts exactly. What I took from this video is that the mustang is similar to the 8th gen si in power delivery. Would definitely be an interesting race.
Awesome video as always! Can’t wait to see it with full bolt ons and especially coil overs! Would definitely get rid of the wheel gap
Your hilarious,I’m sitting in the Denver airport waiting for my flight too Seattle,and just had too see what’s new with you!
I would said a G35 sport yes it got to be a sport. Would be a great race...
those facial expressions add like 5 horsepower
3.73 for the rear, 4.10 will make daily driving a bit much. My 97 Cobra had them, along with Vortech supercharger (with cooler box), Basani x-pipe and Magnaflow catback. Ran a Steeda shifter and lowering springs (coilovers not that big in 98! :D) Replace the under drive pulleys stat! I think that along with the Steeda shifter and springs were my first swaps. Remember, driving a 32v Cobra is nothing like a normal V8 or turbo 4. She is happy in the upper range, think 8th Gen Si (bottom end nothing, top end, everything). Don't forget to swap in new plugs! My 97 Cobra was a great car, the only issue I ever had was the tranny, which you have already experienced! Good luck with the Cobra!
thank you for sharing!
@@Camhill182 And you are most welcome! I do not miss the days of that heavy clutch! With my new Accord 2.0t 10 speed auto, I have gotten spoiled! Great content as always Cam.
@@Tony-yl1yo nice good choice with 2.0t accord.
373 is nowhere near enough for a b head cobra. 4.10 is bare minimum 430-456 work better na. 4.10 for boost if you have a centri.
04:28 nice TheStraightPipes intro hahahaha xD
It was nice meeting you in person keep up the good content. I’m surprised I took a good picture 😅
Hey man! It was nice meeting you too
Lol bro your reaction 😯😯😯when the car chirped lol. Me and my wife always go to Americans tired there great 👍🏾. Race same kinda car 🚗 as the cobra 🐍 great video again bro
Thanks Alex
@@Camhill182 no problem bro I saw u guys played halo wish I had the game but I do have call of duty
New to this channel, sick mustang. I keep wondering if Vivian is your wife's name or the car's name lol
Any stock g35, 350z, sti, 3v mustangs would be a good race!
Agreed
Clean cobra 🐍. Much needed wash. Red always pops 💯🔥. Ready to see more mods in the future. I’d also look for a 94-96 impala ss. Another classic sedan. Drove one working at Chevy in 03. Big body corvette power moves out. 😁👍🏾
Cool video! I own a GT350, it is running 753 Whp . It is equipped with a vortech supercharger, and many other mods. I’m planning to get a new edge mustang or a sn95
Might not be crazy fast yet but looks like you're having fun! Sounds great too. I got some good tips before you do the burnouts/donuts.
Nothing like a 4V with an xpipe and exhaust
New subscriber here. Nice to see Rocklin on RUclips.
Love your videos Cam, I know I don't comment a lot but dude you are hilarious haha. My 2021 Type R is asking to be modded but I'm going to wait a little bit to do it so I live through your videos, keep up the great work
thanks!
You should have plenty ideas. Civic Si, G35, G37, Camaro v6 or turbo 4, older Camaro, Challenger R/T 5.7 liter, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Genesis coupe, 2 or 3v Mustang GT, another SN95 Cobra, Honda Accord, maybe GTO 5.7 liter if you learn to drive well, Fusion Sport, Buick Regal GS, modern Mustang v6 (probably not an ecoboost unless you mod), Charger, Chrysler 300, WRX and EVO (unmodded), RSX, Regal....I think could go on all day. Ford Raptor, older Corvette from the 80's and early 90's, RX7, Stealth, Mitsubishi Eclipse v6, Fox body mustang....there ya go
The girl waving at 3:07 LOL
Good eye
Worst thing you can do is go with the stock tire size you need wider tires out back... Biggest you can go on stock wheel is 275 40 R17 get some 4.10 gears short throw shifter and cold air tube it... And those BF Goodrich suck for racing that's a straight line shooter you need nitto drags or mickey Thomas drag/street tires
I have Firestone Firehawk Indy500's on my Cobra, I think they are a little stickier than your new ones because I don't chirp 2nd gear as easily. But at the same time my car would have swung way out to the right in a drift pretty easily when doing a U-turn. The throttle position sensor plays a bigger role on these cars, there's a big difference between 60% with your right foot and 90%. If you really want to go fast stay in lower gears way longer than you feel like you should and plant your foot in it and hold on. And also, get good at talking to cops if you drive like I do.
Build up your suspension
Stock turbo 4 bangers might be a good race. Like focus sts or maybe even fiestas. Stock civic SI? I wanna see this go against a 2v or a 3v as well
What’s the story behind the white interior? No 97 Cobra’s came with white interior.
The original owner had it done
It's a quad cam v8, I'd go 4:10 gears. That is a beautiful car. I'd keep it stock as close to possible. It's gonna appreciate in value.
Been TDY to Beale three times for AFCOMAC; a lot of wide open roads around there!
Im also getting a gr86 premium mine will be the white one, good luck with yours
Hell yaaa I told you I’d be ready.
CamHSquad
Could be a fuse causing the blinker issue.
the shop will fix it while they're doing an inspection and tune up this coming Monday
@@Camhill182 nice
Just the sound alone makes me miss my 85 gt black with black bullit wheels 😩 i had a mgw shifter was like acuity for mustangs since you mentioned needing a shifter
oh sweet! thank you for that. I will definitely look into a shifter upgrade asap
Oh yeah, ssei. Although, I think it may take premium? At least the Pontiac’s with the GT’s/Series III motors are recommended so may not be the most fuel cost conscious.
and i absolutly love the pontiac bonnevilles, inbetween my grand am and pontiac g6 i really looked hard to find them. either that or the grand prix gtp
5:00 no right turn on red right there!!
Race a stock ecoboost, 3.7 V6, or 3V Mustang! They're all around the high 13's or 14 second 1/4 mile.
Use your Dragy to see how fast it is, then go from there with the races.
Get shocks and struts(koni adjustable ones) Then get 3.73 gears first. You will fall in love with it more. And race a 94 or 95 camaro z28 that should be close one.
A beautiful car like this with the spec of your interior I wouldn't sell it, it's only going to go up n value. I think u would regret it looking back. When I was younger I had certain specs of Hondas and Vws that are rare today and I kick myself 4 getting rid of them. An this is one of those cars.
new plugs, filters and fluids, clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster, gears (3.73 or higher), intake, tb, longtubes, exhaust and a tune, should be solid then
you mean lower gear not higher.
90s was a great era for cars. I'm liking this whip. You might have to dump some money into it. The finished product should be pretty dope though
I am dumping money into it
My dad just got an 89 vette and that thing is dog slow too, we are spoiled with these new cars
magnaflow street is gonna be HELLA quiet bro i had magnaflow mufflers on my 14 5.0 with no cats no reso and it was still DAMN quiet, 350z DE and HR or g35 or 37, f body camaro, a v6 mustang, 9th gen civic
Thanks for the feedback! I've heard sound clips with the magnaflow street system and the X pipe im looking at and it sounds perfect. and I will work on finding some tuned 9th gens to race
@@Camhill182 I have the magnaflow competition cat back and catted x pipe on my 5.0 and it really not that loud
thanks for letting me know
What is the name of that red?
The blinker thing could just be that your bulbs are all burnt out. Try putting in new bulbs all the way around.
Tire place couldn't do an alignment ?
New Tires niceeeee. Like the Interior seats white...
What to race stock?
03-06 350Z/G35
G37 Coupe
RC350
Auto LS Camaro/Bird
Manual LT1 Fbody
3.7 Mustang
4.6 3V Mustang
Modified RCSB V8 Silverado
C4 Corvette
Stock GTI from a roll
2012+ 328/428i
Ecoboost Raptor
S2000
Focus ST
Fiesta ST
SVT Lightning
those are all great recommendations
Love the color as well. Nice car!!
A single cam civic Great race
Matt it to the floor and put pressure on shifter so, soon as clutch can release the shifter goes quick into gear. Best way 2 experience cars and ur capabilities w/o beating the car to death is go in an empty parking lot after it rains and start sliding,drifting and learn what 2 expect w/o shitting ur pants.
Was that a straight pipes joke at 4:30😂
Start off by racing some SI’s with it? When I had mine as well, I didnt think it felt very fast either. Lol. These cars need gears bad
I don’t mind the racing I love seeing it. But you asking for races reminds me of rushshift. Irvine PD had a 6 month investigation on him, arrested him and now he’s facing 8 years, don’t wanna see that happen here
I have that civic si at the tire shop - mine is a 2010 orange one from Ohio though 😁and I have a 1991 mustang gt convertible but automatic 🙃
Racing a stock si and fbo si would be dope to see where it stacks up
Small world I wish i could meet you, been watching your video for a year you seem cool
I think maybe a 8th gen civic or rsx with bolts ons and tunes.
Btw. I’m digging the cobra man.
Thanks Matt
You should race another same cobra just to see if you got what it takes to race.
what do you mean by that
@@Camhill182 didn't know you were going to replied I was playing with what I said but you should first race a car that is the same as yours so you can have an idea of how well your car is running. Really like your videos keep up the good work. You just got a new subscriber with me.
Oh i see what you’re saying. I’ll figure some stuff out and get things going soon. And thanks for subbing!
OG title >
the fg2 civic si u posted that one time would be a good race to see against that
11:30 you had me cryin cam 😭😭😭😭
JLT intake TB kooks long tubes catted X bassani mufflers some 4.10’s and a good tune 😎🦅🦅🦅🤙🏼
You know you can adjust the steering wheel right? Why do you have it up like a semi? lol
Get a caruse design wing for the type r
Put some 315 micky thompsons street tires on the back 😂
Cam, was wondering how often you washed/detailed your Type R? Before and after the ceramic
I have videos on washing it before the coating. the coating still hasnt cured fully, so I can't wash it yet
Expression are on point😂
How can you even drive with the steering wheel angled so high like that?. Weird.
You can race an infiniti Q50, or a nissan 370, a pontiac g80, taurus turbo, acura tlx, impresa sti, etc
Any plans on getting the windows tinted?
2:15 that tech was torquing lug nuts not in star pattern
Do you still have your Cobra?
You gotta tilt that wheel down! lol @5:16
I tried. My knees hit it when engaging the clutch
Are we getting new rims?
Great videos Cam! When’s that supercharger coming in tho👀👀
Thats definitely bot going to happen. 4.3k views in the first 12 hours? Not a chance
The oil pressure gauge on those Fords is just a dummy switch. I would leave the factory gears in it. 3.73 gears aren’t worth it.
your cheeky edits kill me xD
OMG FIRST I LOVE U SO MUCH KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK !
I'm personally more of an h pipe fan for v8s, it is more basy and less raspy, but that's just personal preference
I will check out some sound clips and make a decision
Yes, tuned 9th gen agreed. Can’t believe the condition of the Cobra’s paintwork 💯👌🏼
I want to see the classic muscle vs import race. Maybe a fbo 6/7 civic si vs the cobra.
I was thinking like 550$ for the tires but u went to a big place.. supercharge that beast
Which cheeseburger did you get that night?
Some cars to race this with:
- Maybe Junior’s Si?
- Stock S2000
- ND Miata (2016-up)
- 8th gen Si
Just for fun- whoever in your area that buys the new 11th gen Civic XD
I got her a mcdonalds quarter pounder with bacon
@@Camhill182 Damn. Now I want one lolol
Even food is getting expensive like used cars! Lololol
Anyone else read “Still Broke” and think the Cobra was still broken? 😂
maybe I should change that thumbnail
American muscle💪
Interior looks good
@6:34 I think you're ready for your Italian certification Cam
The reason it’s not much torque is that stock rear gears. Go to a 4.10 rear gears
Edit:3.93 will do the job, commented too early haha
Maybe a stock e90 328i or f30 328, plenty of those around Cali
So for how long are you actually planning on keeping this car for
it all depends on how well the content performs. right now, its not looking good
