Only thing I gotta wait on is loan approval, which won't be a big deal. I still have my FD and it's still for sale but I may end up keeping it to. If someone makes me a decent enough offer I'll probably let it go. Just an update.


Sounds fast.. Glad to here you keeping the 7 also. I just bust your balls on Mustangs as I had 3 in the past. My first car was 76 cobra II with a built 302 and 125 shot of NOS. Was fast back in the day. Then I got a 84 GT350, then a 91 GT. So I have always been a Ford guy. Now on another note my brother was test driving a new LS2 vette this past weekend and we went and played around. I drove both he tested a 6spd and a auto. I was very impressed with both. Made me come home and start looking at Vipers again. I can not believe how cheap the GTS ones are going for. Even the ACR ones with 12k miles for 40K! I may just have to trade the Porsche in! Anyway you will have to let me check out the new ride when you get it..

Yeah, the Vipers are coming down to super low prices and I really don't understand it other than the "Car World" believes they were too overpriced to begin with....as are the new Shelby GT500s by the way. Anyway, the Cobra is fast and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. The guys on the Mustang forum say the Cobra I'm buying is a good starting point for a solid 650rwhp! I don't really care for that much but 500 seems like nice number to shoot for.

I hear ya Ford guy...I've had a 89 GT and 93 GT myself.

Well I was going to meet you guys up in Steele today buy Sabrina had a miscarriage this week so I feel like I need to be at home more than there.

sk8world 10-20-07 11:10 PM

no worries.. sorry to here the bad news.

hus 10-21-07 12:03 AM

Very sorry to hear that Luke.

cibrspeed 10-21-07 01:55 PM

Christopher:lol2:

rx7 FC TII 10-21-07 02:08 PM

^^ ya i heard that also. of all places they could go they chose steele alabama!

blwnrtr93 10-21-07 06:29 PM

I've heard alot of people talking about it as well. Alot of people from work are going to watch the action.

sk8world 10-21-07 07:17 PM

We (Huntsville group) have a bad ass White Supra racing in it on Saturday. This car will make it worth anyone's time going. The owner used to and may still be racing the Titan car from time to time. I believe it is a solid 9sec car 1000+rwhp. This is his personal ride. I can not believe anyone would be willing to loose there car. It just takes a $2 part to break at the wrong time and you lost your car!!

Herblenny 10-21-07 07:38 PM

I was told by Hinson Super car that he will be heading to Steele next weekend.. I'm still not sure if I'm going or not..

hus 10-21-07 10:51 PM

I might go. All the guys around here at CW Performance have been talking about that white Supra too Mike. One of the guys from somewhere around here may be taking a 1400hp Mustang...don't know for sure yet, something about having to have a better rollcage with that much hp to drag on Pinks or something. I don't know all the rules so...

On another note, I bought that 01 Cobra with a Vortech Supercharger! Will post pics tomorrow morning.

sk8world 10-22-07 12:03 AM

Cool Brad.. I want a ride! I love feeling torque! Something my FD will never have down low.. I can not make it down for pinks but I bet it is going to be bad ass. Someone get some film! I know the white supra has gone atleast 6.2 in 1/8th. Not sure how long ago that was.

hus 10-22-07 10:44 AM

Here are my Cobra pics:

Nope

Herblenny 10-22-07 01:06 PM

Awesome!! Stang looks good!!

Dang, Can't believe the car's on ebay...

bryant 10-22-07 01:16 PM

you would think with it in that condition it should go for close to 20 if not more.

hus 10-22-07 01:28 PM

Close to 20 would be nice.

Phil, I know and I love the 7 but I really don't need to keep both cars and I rather have something all 4 of us can get in. I put the top back and all 4 of us drove up the Natchez Trace into TN and my boys had a blast. <--That made it that much more enjoyable for me...425rwhp aside :biggrin:

sk8world 10-22-07 02:02 PM

I wonder which one is faster???? I will come drive the FD for the race....

BTW its a sleeper. I expected some skinnys up front!

hus 10-22-07 03:27 PM

Funny Mike. It is a sleeper. I'm not much of skinnies guy or the whole drag look. I prefer a good fast street looking ride. By the way, did I mention it's LOUD!

Vortech Supercharger kit, 42lb injectors, 3.73 gears, BBK full length headers, SLP Loud Mouth II Exhaust and running 8lbs of boost. The supercharger sounds like a jet but the exhuast makes it sound like a full out FORD GT Racecar. My boys love it!

Greg, you still around? I figured your FD was also gone and you and Brad had started a RUSTANG club!!!!

HAHA... Very Funny... Yea, I'm still here. We need to get together again one of these weekends....

The seven is still here...buyer stood me up repeatedly...I told him enough was enough after waiting a long time for him to pay up.....just an 18 year old wannabe I guess. I don't think he had the $$ he said he did.....

I really thought he was legit, but I found out otherwise after checking out his info....not sure what the kid was trying to do......Wasted my time, but oh well. I still have the 7 and it's driving better than ever....Still needs some work, but I am fixing up one thing at a time. You need to check it out before I end up actually selling it. :D

Right now the big push is to sell my wifes minivan....then we will see whats up next.

bryant 10-23-07 06:54 AM

the problem is not people wanting to buy our cars its getting the bank to give you the money for a 14 to 15 year old car.
