Default I got the biggest laugh at work today......

I don't know how many of you guys have driven the new '03 Cobra, but I have and liked it. Well one of the ones on our lot was a ordered unit. The customer comes to pick it up and drives it home. Two hours later he comes back and says the engine whines too much, the tranny is too noisey, and he feels his '99 has more power. I laughed my ass off cause the '99 had the recall because of the shitty exhaust right? Kids who's daddies have way too much money make me laugh.

That is pretty funny........but the 99s weren't recalled because of exhaust their power was way down so they were recalled to correct that, but nothing done to the exhaust.

Part of it was the exhaust. They swapped something (I think the mufflers) and fixed the other problems on my mother's '99 for that recall.

Everywhere I read it said it was because the heads didn't breathe very well thus producing 20hp less than advertised
