your 2v stops making power at 5500 rpms... don't wait until redline - shift at around 5500 rpms, look at a dyno and you'll see...
There is a difference between a ricer, and an import tuner - be careful about that.

Race from a dig # 1. If a FWD has more power he still has to catch up. I shift right at redline. You can WOT shift, but I don't know how mustangs handle that. WOT shift is when you never let go of the gas during shift. I did it in my SRT-4.
Honestly man the 2V 4.6 isnt all that great. I just bought my car 2 weeks ago, and am disappointed. If you don't have FI you don't got very much. However its a respectable fast car that is dead sexy, and I can live with that.
Also don't hate on import hate on ricers. It is very possible for a civic to not be a ricer. I still hang out with a import crowd, and theres not a honda there that couldn't stomp my car. The slowest one is making 313 WHP.

They're actually turbo-charged, and for the money you spend on a 04 Cobra you could mod a SRT-4 that would embarrass that cobra.
I <3 Corbas, and Mustangs. I just don't like Mustang owners who think they have the fastes thing on the road.

In a 99 GT?
ORIGINAL: lVlustang
My car was a 30 MPH rolling start king. From a dig thats a different story. I was making a little over 300 WHP with just 1800 dollars in mods.
P.S. I would take a Cobra anyday over the SRT-4, but you gotta respect that car because theyre cheap to mod and make good #'s.

My 04' SRT-4
Edit- I owned a SRT-4 sold it for my 2005 Triumph 650 Daytona (Bike), and my 99 Mustang.

I like how you jumped conclusions there and assumed I think I have the fastest car on the road when all I said was my buddies 04 cobra eats stock SRT-4's , EVO's , and STI's which is pretty much fact if you can drive. So where did you come up with the "I just don't like Mustang owners who think they have the fastes thing on the road"?
I know damn well those evo's, STi's, SRT-4's are mean as hell my neighbor has 2 evo's a blue and silver one Ive driven them both and man o man they are quick and handle like you wouldnt believe. [sm=crossbonesgif.gif]
Money makes power you dump enough money into anything its gonna be fast.

Why would you 'upgrade' from a 300whp 2004 car to a 225whp 1999 car?
