it has a vortech v1 blower, and lots of other stuff
looks like everything's a 'go', the loan co. called this AM and said so, though i still haven't heard from the dealer... I've always had a 'thing' for snakes, it was only normal that i would dream of owning a Cobra Mustang, having seen several while growing up in the seventies. well, I finally get to live it! ------------------ Rob Wegner 90LX |

*******' tailgating fox-body pissed me off tonight!
I'm driving home down a windy road behind another car, and this @$$hole wouldn't get off my butt! considering the weak-@ss brakes in a fox-body, and the four-wheel discs on my ride, i was terrified that a deer would jump out, and this idiot would rear-end me in my brand-new car... the cars in front of me actually did have to stop suddenly for a deer, and i was braking via the rear-view mirror, hoping the @$$hole wouldn't make my fears a reality... it wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had two large drinks in the lame-o drink holder...if i had punched it, i would have spilled soda all over the leather interior... gads! i was pissed! ------------------ Rob Wegner 90LX |

Man, that is a bad @-- ride!! I hope it goes ok for you. I hear that a blower has a tendency to burn the #5 cylinder on the DOHC(be careful). I was at the mechanics tonight, the guy who told me about this mechanic was there. He just bought a 96 cobra, the engine was being unloaded as I walked up. It had a Kenne Bell blower on it and guess what... rebuild time..

hey skyler!
i still have the lx and a gl now that i have something i can drive, i'll start serious work on the others. i'm thinking that the 82 GL notchback will get the 351W, and the 90 will get a 347 stroker motor. I'd really love to race my two running mustangs against each other. maybe i can get my dad to drive it or something... scott: good to 'see' you! rbatson: I'll keep an eye on that. can't say it's thrilling news Thanks guys! I'm trying to learn how to drive it still. can't hook up at the track so far. 2.13 short time was my best of 4 runs (the first in over a year away from the track), and a 12.9 @ 112 spinning like a dog! the thing needs GEARS! ------------------ Rob Wegner 90 LX 11.8 @ 118 98 Cobra #4699 12.9 @ 112 [This message has been edited by Snakeman (edited 09-24-2001).] |
