The supercharger must be blowing the "O" rings apart.
FORD means Found On Road Dead.

Pappy right, but my FORD can beat your ACURA.

They'll get it fixed. Still a damn good and fast car for the $$$$, not the most comfortable, but nonetheless, fast!

4.6 woes.............

That's typical of Ford lately. I traded my trouble plagued 99 Cobra for my CL-S. Haven't seen a service bay since. Feel bad for all the people that plunked down close to 40 g's on the '03 Cobra. The 4.6 has never been as solid as the 302....no matter whether the block is aluminum or in the new Cobra, iron.

Think this new 5.0 could be the Cobra's engine for '04 or '05? 430hp, no supercharger...
