I'm building a 96 Cobra to race in CAM and was wondering if anybody else here had. I've been autocrossing for 10 years, starting with an RX-7, then a Miata, then a Porsche 944, then a Porsche 914, then a 73 AMC Javelin, and now the Cobra. I had the Javelin in CAM, but it was awful and worse to drive to the events. So far I've put on the Eibach Pro Street coilover kit, Eibach F&R sway bars, QA1 tubular front LCA"s, Steeda bumpsteer kit, Gripp C/C plates, and some FR500's (17x9 and 17x10.5) with Nitto NT05's (275/40/17 and 315/35/17). It has some power mods, too (BBK LT's, catless mids, x-pipe, Flowmaster 40's with dumps, BBK CAI, MSD coils, BBK underdrive pulleys) and an MGW shifter and Luk clutch with a fresh T45. Rear gears are stock.

OMG BRETT IS ON THE SITE! Yea cam is awesome, Brett wrecks shop. He's one of my 2 aspirations (I look up to) the other is Mike Maier
Brett and I had children together long before any of you new kids were around. Right [MENTION=10532]MadStang[/MENTION]??
Oh hey, there's a name I recognize! So, any setup pointers? Anything else I need to do to the car over the winter break for next season?
I would do rear end gears, at least 3.73 or 4.10. You need to drive the car and then start addressing things to make it better. Don't throw a million dollars at it to make it better before you get to know it.
I was really surprised with the 410s on course but I also have a 2v so...if you had a 2v I'd say 373 but since you don't I'm not too sure so 410s probably will be best for the 4v
Most autocross courses call for 3.73 gearing with the standard mustang transmissions. I would avoid 4.10's if at all possible. As for what mods I suggest? seat time, seat time, seat time. then save for a good suspension setup down the road (highly recommend CorteX components). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
