    Turbo the fox or get a cobra?

    if I did it, I would get a ponydown.net kit and what not. I towuld be done right, but then it is H/I, rebuild, new clutch, etc. Or I could just pop it on the stock motor, but what fun is that? Plus who has the time?

    Turbo the fox or get a cobra?

    Well, in my ever-changing mind of decisions, I am kicking around the two possibilities in the title. I have looked at this list and still can't decide. Cobra: Pro: Just bad-ass Newer more reliable horsepower smoother car Great looks Won't be in the garage working on it every weekend...

    Tell me about your Terminator--Pros/Cons of ownership

    what would be a decent price to pay for one? You think the prices will decline once the 500's are on the street? Spring time a better time to buy? Winter? Late winter?

    Drove a 99 Cobra vert today

    Granted I only took it to about 4500 rpm's (due to the salesman being in there with me), but it seemed like it was only OK in the HP area. I guess I should have taken it up a couple more thousand, huh? Anyway, it was on a lot--44k miles, needed paint, had sfc's and was 18k. :lol:

    Tell me about your Terminator--Pros/Cons of ownership

    Are they really that bad? I have heard that they may not be worth the money, bad tick on the D/S head, weak half-shafts, etc. I know a lot about stangs in general, but since I have ventured into the realm of real job and income (and less and less time), I think having a factory hot rod will...

    Went to the NMRA event today and........

    I guess this explains why there were no Ford trailers at FFW Norwalk, today. I figgered they were in Michigan (along with the vendors--FFW sucked). Did get to see a Saleen S7 in person for the first time, today.

    Rearend question--yes I've searched

    How bout this? TC rear for the 3.73 gears (can get one locally) and a v6 rear for the axles and brakes. Swap the axles into the TC rear use the sn95 rear brakes (rotors, calipers, brackets, etc). Put the TC axles and brakes into my stock housing and sell it to someone. I can get both...

    The "What is Fast" thread...

    You folks are missing the meaning of the word "fast". Fast is a speed thing--(i.e. 115mph in the quarter). Quickness is a measure of time (i.e. 12.5 sec in the quarter). That explains how top racers can hold the record for one and not the other; or they can hold both. An 11 sec street...

    Online Friends (nothing to do with Stangs, I Know)

    Met a girl online, we have talked countless times on the phone. She lives in Houston, I'm in Ohio. She's getting married soon, and so am I. We have never seen each other in person. No big deal. Pretty cool, actually. My fiancee knows about her, but not sure if her man knows about me...

    Changing a rearend, how hard?

    you're rear end housing are different length, arent' they? I know the axles are longer on the 99+ cars. Just something to think about

    Rear question--re: 5-lug

    I already have the fronts and the wheels. I just need the rears. The best deal I can get locally for a gear install is 200 plus parts. Factor in the parts and my last gear install was 500. I guess I could try to procure a drum 8.8 with 3.73's and then switch the brakes over.

    Rear question--re: 5-lug

    Still trying to figger out how my rear is gonna come together. I have 3.08's in my stock rearend, now. I want better gears for my occasional romp at the road course/track. I can get stock v6 rear end for the brake swap (axles and brakes, only) with my housing and gears; or I can get a complete...

    GT500 wheel pics

    Saw some on a car today and they looked hideous. I took some pics and the owner probably thought I loved them. They were even 4 lug, yuch.

    The thread of the nicest FOXES!

    I guess I can "add" to this thread. Pics taken right after I got it detailed. New things in order are 5 lug swap with 98 GT wheels and 4 wheel discs.
