cobra owners have had problems with a "head tick" that ford seemingly doesnt touch...ive spoken with a few owners who have run into this issue, and it seems that overtime, the engine runs into heat issues, and this phantom top end noise...

Huh, I'd never heard of that before. I might have to check into the issue, and do some research of my own....[&:]

^ Oh, now that you say something about it, I do see a lot of short-term owners unloading their Terminators on eBay and autotrader. I usually stay in Street/Strip and OT over at MF, so I wasn't aware of the problem. Thanx.....[&:]

even the guys who dont claim to have had any problems, get rid of them pretty quickly, and i never understood why...there must be some underlying issue that isnt being discussed, but i am aware of the "head tick" as the owners call it...

nope your wrong SRT wouldnt destroy the Redline. the Ion Redlines are faster than SRT4. Same as the Cobalt SS TC.

EVO, STI, ION REDLINE AND COBALT SS TC are better looking cars than the Fugly SRT4. Id get an Ion Redline and make it faster than SRT4 with twin Turbochargers Intakes Air Filters and Exhausts.

when saturn brought it out, some article called it the SRT4 killer..btu when the numbers were in from non-biased magazines, it proved to be more of a stratus killer, which is nothing to brag about...
