RE: I just got really lucky...
His blower is still factory pulley, got full exhaust (LTs, o/r H and slp LM II catback)and a pro 50 shifter with triax handle, and some good tires. I know everyone will say "mod the cobra" blah blah. Well get this, my wife has allready "granted" me permission to get the mach1 all prettied up. And with the money saved in not having 2 car payments (her taurus and my mach1) a loan payment and all the other debt Ive incurred, Ill have around $1400 / month to put into aftermarket parts for a car, so the Cobra won't stay un mod'd for long :P

is that all for track use? what if he wants a drag set up? besides those suspension setups look way too low for the street.

RE: I just got really lucky...
I was thinking of more road race handling than straight drag, but want the ability to compete decently on the strip as well. (Hence why I was looking at steeda and MM parts)

RE: I just got really lucky...
Congrats! I've done quite a bit of research and if you have unlimited funds, you can't beat a heavily modded engine with an aggressive KB supercharger. KB is much more expensive but worth it for the power all the way through the RPM range instead of just high RPM. You could probably get all the power and style mods you want for less than $50,000.00.
Rousch racing eng
KB super
suspension of choice
wheel and tire set-up of choice
Body kit of choice
sick paint and sound system
lambo doors or maybe custom targa (if you don't have convert)
would definatly shave off door handles and get automatic hydrolic doors
so many ideas!
Good luck!

Rousch racing eng - 2V vs 4V, and the motor is going to be completely built
KB super Ive got a shaker... and centri's are faster... at least on tracks
suspension of choice Yup, I was thinking of steeda's
wheel and tire set-up of choice ALlready got wheels (black bullitts) so I'd add some nice rubbers for it
Body kit of choice why? Stock it looks so MEAN!
sick paint and sound system I like my black paint, though I might get Ford to repaint it black again... sound- as long as my amps and subs are removable for the occasional track run!
lambo doors or maybe custom targa (if you don't have convert) no- and no- weakens body structure
would definatly shave off door handles and get automatic hydrolic doors umm.. sorry but sounds ricer to me
so many ideas!
