4. I have heard that my car goes 0-60 in 4.8 and also 5.2. Which is correct? ....

Thanks everyone! I appreciate any help, and hope you don't think I am a dumb girl who does not know a drive shaft from a dipstick.
1. You are experiencing the "Driveline Clunk". It is the nature of the IRS in our cars (99+ Cobra's). There are modifications and aftermarket mods that drastically reduce it, such as urethane bushings, etc...

2.no I sorry, , but I hope someone else can help with that.

3. Nope, missed that one..but I like classics as well.

4. The 0-60 on an 01 has been reported to be anywhere from 5.0-5.4 (5.4 by SVT). But, not alot of people in Cobra world speak in terms of 0-60, but rather, the 1/4 mile performance. The IRS is pretty hard to launch, and takes some practice, so that is a big factor. Another is, people don't keep these cars stock for long

I hate the feeling that I have when I think I know alot about cars, then I get a new one, and I think I know nothing again...hehehe...actually that is part of the fun. Thanks for answering all my questions! At least now I know that the clunk was not imagined. I thought it was inferior driving skills.

I hate my job today I want to go drive around instead...
