Yea I may be a future cobra owner, like possibly as of tommorrow, but I'll always be a sixer at heart, bold, daring, and cocky as hell. Don't worry, I'll still stay in this forum and ***** it up and talk about getting plasterd.

Man what mods do you have again? You better have that 3.8 blowing your load every time you hit the gas to come close to beating my Cobra, just to let you know the Cobra I'm looking at is well capable of running 0-60 in about 5.2s and the 1/4 in the high 13s, but car and driver only tested the 94-95 cobras which clicked in at 14.00s. So since it will take me a while to get used to shifting I'm thinking 0-60 in about 6s and the quarter in the mid 14s. That's OK though, because no matter who wins we'll still have to crack open a cold one.[sm=alcoholic.gif] He you can beat my 98 so that' at least one thing to be proad of, although I don't know how much you should boast over that one.

you mean crack open a cold case.[sm=alcoholic.gif][sm=alcoholic.gif] that would be us.

i have all sorts of ****.

P&P everything, upper, lower and heads. shaved .030 off heads, more compression. shaved upper manifold, more throttle reponse. 96 cam, more lift and duration. 1.8 roller tip rockers. modified hydraulic roller lifters. 73mm mass air. ported TB. modified IMRCs. custom exhaust, back cats modified. dyno tuned almost to detonation on 91 octane, i use 93 octane. 24 LB injectors. stock exhaust manifolds modified. EGR delete. 7250 RPM redline, and not afraid to use it. 3.55s with slipping T-lok. fuqqed up tach that's about 1000 Rpms low at redline, but reads idle correctly, , i'm lost on that, no idea.

Red Neon in the grill and under dash, just for looks. no spare or jack. no trunk interior. no fat chicks, unless they pay. gotta try to keep the weight down. i think that is everything. i am getting it lowered for christmas. along with long-tubes and possibly a full 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust with only 2 high flow cats.

Yea and I'll have a V8 with racing stickers, those things add like 25 hp a peice, so if I get about 8 on the car, no one will touch me. Hey maybe I'll add on a set of twin fart cans, oh and lets not forget those 20" rims, and a mountain high wing. Nice set up, so I'm thinking you'll beat me, but no by much, maybe a car half a car length, but real nice, I just wish I would of gotten a manual six because I'd be doing all of those mods to, but oh well, V8, here I come.

i have beaten a few sn95 Cobras. i even took down a boosted 95 GT. but i don't think they are slow. until you get used to it you probably won't get its full potential.

i just can't wait for my money to come, 14 PSI, 4.2 stroker and 10:1 compression will be sick
