I love everything about that car EXCEPT the cobra decal on the front bumper. To me it ruins the lines.
HOWEVER,anyone with 870hp under the hood can put a giant tampaxdecal on the carfor all I care.You've earned the right.
Nice job.

First my rev limiter is at 6500rpm's Ford says the motor will take 7500rpm's. It will pull the rev limiter instantly in 1st instantly in2nd spin the tires then hit the limiter in 3rd in a couple of secondsthen the car pulls hard and I mean hard and will pull it in every gear if you are willing to do it. Top speed would be around 205mph. I know most think that has to be BS but let me tell you 150mph is nothing for this car.

What do I do for a living? To keep it simple about 12 years ago when I was 30 I started my own company AirFoil Aviation, Inc designing products that could fly forall kinds of jobs but took the person out of the machine. I'm a helo and fixed wing pilot so I ended up with most thinking I was nuts I left a 6 figure job for what? Now I'm proud to say we pretty much are a the top of our industry and I get to design stuff that people wouldn't even dream of. Now the people that called me nuts want to work here. I'm not bragging I took a huge risk back then and spent 10 years just working nothing else. Now I get to enjoy some of it. I love what I do it's really not work to me but it has it's dead lines and disasters like any business. To give you an idea our products are being used in Iraqas we speak. It's really hard to explain because we fly the same systems we sell so around our area we do search and rescues/NWS/EMS/ State and local police and drug task forces. To many agency's to list then we cover breaking news for NBC/CBS/FOX/CNN it goes on and on.

Lifes a blast just don't let anyone tell you that you can't. You can't fail if you give it 100%! Even if it tanks you got to do what you wanted in life and who knows where it may lead you.

Wow that was way to long. Sorry!

One product I designed we sell alot of to agency's. 14megs. just warning you.

Just get on Nascar then. You will find someone who stocks them. He probably had a 100 or so there off of their Busch car.

Ok guys it's getting close to winter so want to really test the car to make sure I didn't have any problems before I put it away. Two days before I'm going to do that I get a call that several friends are coming out to see me and to stay at my shop. We fly radio controlled planes in the schools gyms that I do fund raisers for with some of the kids. Forthose that don't know these are small electric planes. A few of us go to competitions a couple times a year for these.

Any way they purchased the side window covers and had them painted to match my car. I love these guys but I'm not into that stuff but we put them on any way. 3M tape holds them on. Not for long though!

The next day fired the car up and it got wild. Hit 175mph and still had 6th gear and plenty of power. Both of the window covers are long gone they blew off some where between 0-175mph. I hate it cause they spent their money but at the end of the day I like the car like it is.

This is a video shot with a Razor phone so it sucks but you can see and hear it. I would crank it up. Wasn't going to video the carthat day but this clip got shot.

Another thing I think you forgot to add to the part list is a 5.4L.

It's a GT500 Cobra I figured most knew it was a 5.4L? Check the video on the first or second page I think you can tell what the motor is there.
