yup, loving it. Just got back from the track. run's right in line with what the fox does on motor....... but this thing is 100% stock.... with a/c... and navigation (that is also a DVD player, sirius radio, ETC) cruising home in comfort, no rattles and sqeeks or rough suspension. Starting pouring rain on the way home and didn't grip the wheel for dear life thinking I would randomly lose control like I did in the fox.....This car is NUTS!

can't wait for a few mods to make it faster then the fox.


I still have it, but more then likely it will be sold. Just sick and tired of emissions, and can't really go faster without turning it into a track car. No thanks.

lol, I'm not going to go no where, I try to help but answering the same **** over and over got pretty old.

I plan on making videos on my youtube for the newbies how to pick camshafts, and other crap, that way I can just point people to the video, haha.


As far as this car, Its going to get exhaust, tires ASAP, and see what it can do then.



BTW...


LOL ECONOMY CAR
(on the way back from the track, all highway, 65mph, almost no traffic or stopping. Was showing 30.5mpg at one point.)

I almost wish I had waited for the 2013s.. better in a lot of ways.. oh well, i've been able to enjoy my car for 2 years now atleast

I'd like to know what all the cobra had done to it. Most people would guess that the cobra vs 5.0 would be a drivers race if both were stock...

stock 03 cobras only dyno 370-400rwhp, so not that much more than your car. He probably just had a catback exhaust and stock pulley/blower. If you have 3.73 gears, then it would be very interesting from a dig, because cobras have 3.55's.

I've heard stock for stock its a drivers race with the edge to the 5.0's. My whole thing is that at this elevation, he should have the edge even if he was stock, because he has forced induction.

I already have like 15 videos recorded. Already took my son out and taped him screaming his head off with glee, destroyed the tires a bit, some launch's, fly bys, shot at the track, shot the dyno...

going to spend most of tomorrow trying to make one big, epic video to break the news to my youtube fans. going to show old, old pictures of the fox, through to now, then BAM big shock with the new one. hopefully I can take what I have in my head for how I want it to look, and get it to show in the video...
