My Cobra...

[Turd Ferguson]

Welp, sold the Ducati, so I had to find something new to obsess over.  I just bought a 1996 Mustang Cobra that has been garage kept and babied like crazy. 



I'm trying to get good at launching this thing so I can take it to the track.  It should run 12.80's or so, but we'll see.  Its got the DOHC 4.6 factory rated at 305hp.  The major mods are as follows...

HBA shorty headers
Dr. Gas non-catalytic x-pipe
Bassani stainless cat-back
Comp Cams
Accufab throttle body
Cold air induction
Triple plate ceramic clutch
Aluminum flywheel
TKO transmission
Steeda tri-ax shifter
Crome moly drive shaft
3.73 gears
Auburn differential
Eibach Sportline springs
Tokico shocks/struts
Camber/caster plates
Aftermarket rear lower control arms
Adjustable rear upper control arms
weld-in subframe connectors

That's pretty much all that I can remember right now.  I'm looking to put some drag radials on there this spring/summer, as its got a traction problem.  Even with some brand new BFGoodrich g-force tires, it'll bust sideways in 3rd until you let up.  I got rubber easily last night at 50 mph...

Here is a poor quality sound clip...

Sweet Cobra!!  I always loved that body style.

Here is a couple of pics of my little pony...

   

She has had a few mods and is pretty quick.   A lot of fun anyway...

Damn... I'm sorry you like that.

Man...don't know quite what to say about that...I am kinda fond of the old girl.  And yes....2 chamber flowmasters will make a Honda Civic soil itself 

I love it when these kids think their little 4 bangers are the stuff....most of them don't know what fast is....

Sweet stang. I really liked the mid 90's body style. Outside of the original fastback and the current generation, it may be my favorite. (Of course I'm a bit biased with my '07 GT.)

Turd ... whatever you do ... replace the POS pot metal connecting rods ford put in the 4.6 V8's with somehting made of a real metal ...
Your mods will bend your rods and you'd be replacing the whole motor when that happens.
The F-150's got them too ... total POS but works on a stock motor ... pump it up and you're dead.
Cool.

Nice stang... I had a 1990 model in High school, loved that car.

[coll0412]

get some wider tires on the back of that boy, I love the 5 spoke Cobra rims but when they are 10" wide

[FearedGS500]

Cant go wrong with a cobra . best thing ford ever did is make the SVT    them cars are just plan sick and fast .....

dont  down the 4 bangers .the guys that know what the hell there doing will smoke a v8 dont get me wrong . i'm not pro-import or pro-domistic . but when you can make a 4banger run 6.9 in a 1/4 mile thats just plan crazy . yes .. its a body with a shell ..but the fact that it has been done ( gotta love DSM ) theres a Second gen. eclipse doing it ...... gotta watch the supra's to   i'v seen a moded acura school a viper before   but i'll stop i dont want to thread jack or start a fight .
