    Myth or not?

    true story, i just went from 3.27 to 4.10 in my 97 cobra. I used to get 20 mpg (i drive all highway). after the gears i got 21.5. seems like my mileage actually improved and i dont know why but im not complaining.. :lol:

    T-56 install finished

    I feel your pain and as such congrats! (ALthough i bet it wasnt as painful as when we had to put the toploader back in the mach1 after an engine swap, without any tools.) Yeah it took about 3 months, matching up the bolts, the clutch, etc. Tranny's are a bitch

    Ate a Boxter S for lunch

    round here theres a lot of old farts with saleens, corvettes (c5 and c6's), porsches, mb's, etc. of course they drive the slowest everywhere even on the freeway and i hate them! :bang:

    Went to track for first time!!!

    those times look like you could get better. I ran a best of 14.7 in my stock 1997 cobra first time i took it to the track. street tires as well. after pulleys and catback i got it to 14.4 (also on street tires) launching at about 2200 rpm. (Before you make fun of me, my altitude sucks! :D)
