    Bah, I'm not allowed on the track anymore.

    Hhmm... the track sounds pretty strict. By chance were you wearing a helmet ?? Usually if you have a helmet they will let you run pretty damn fast, I went 11.40 in my buddies car with just a helmet. I think the NHRA states anything faster than 13.49 requires a roll bar so I guess they are...

    Why 4.6?

    I for one would love to see more cubic inches in an affordable Mustang. Ive been waiting for it since 94 when they should have used a 351. Granted the Shelbys on its way but it'll be too damn expensive for me. A 330hp 3V 5.4 sounds like a good GT motor to me.

    Lack of good tech threads in the 4.6 section

    This whole site seems to lack good 'hardcore' tech but especially for the 4.6.

    1/4 mile 2006GT500

    If you check Road & Track, the 03 Cobra was probably listed at 13.0 or something similar. These magazines never seem to get the numbers Mustang mags get. Hot Rod ran like a 13.3 in an 03 while MM&FF ran a 12.6. Granted different tracks and conditions have alot to do with the outcome but...

    I hear Novi2000's will eat KB's???

    Lauching a KB'd car can be trickey, but it comes down to your skills and the setup of the car. My buddy let me drive his KB'd 03 Cobra on the street and at the track and even with 575 hp at the wheels, 1st gear traction was doable with 315 Nitto's and stock 3.55's. The standard Cobra kit comes...

    I hear Novi2000's will eat KB's???

    The Paxton is a great blower. It is possible for it to outpower a Kenne Belle, but many other variables must be considered. Most centifugal blower will make more top end power than roots blowers. The only downside is that the big power usually comes at and above 5000 RPM, where a street motor...

    New Mustang will finally have some competition...

    I bet the Camaro will return after the GTO runs its course in 2007. Dont think GM and Chrysler havent noticed the response to Fords retro Stang. I heard a rumor of an 07 Camaro looking awful similar to the 67-69. The Challenger?? Who knows.. but rest assured it will sport a 5.7 Hemi 340/390...

    Did I run out of the cheap mods?

    I agree with that... same day, same track testing a K&N Replacement filter was worth .10 and 1 MPH on my car.

    If you purchased a new Shelby GT500, would you mod it?

    Of course !!! 450+ isnt enough. Actually its plenty for most but thinking about how much power a pulley, cold air, exhaust and tune would add makes it too much to pass up !!! Of course I wont ever own this car, so my vote doesnt really matter...

    Body shop guys, is this worth trying to fix ??

    You would be correct !!! My friend bought his 99 Cobra brand new, and every weekend he takes it to clubs or bars. Its been keyed and door dinged numerous times. More than I can remember emblems have been ripped off of it. In this instance he was hammered and spun out taking out a mail box...

    2006 cobra wheels on a fox???

    I saw em too...couldnt believe it. The more I look at the GT500 wheels the more they look like Ford GT knock offs.

    PI motor cheaper than PI swap?

    It would be simpler and proabably cheaper. For instance, I have a 99 GT with 25k miles, Id pull and sell the long block for $1000. I also have a buddy who can get 2003 Explorer 2V 4.6's. These are the same as Mustang PI motors, but have an aluminum block. I believe he can get them for $1300

    Upgrade from GT to Cobra Engine??

    I think youd be better off looking for a used engine such as a Mach1/Maruarder/Aviator 4.6, they are all the same except for the intake. Check out http://car-part.com/ I have seen them on there for as little as $1500. Your stock computer and wiring can work, you will just need to lengthen the...

    Finally finished long tube install, have a few questions...

    I installed a Spec stage one myself about two years ago and it been great so far, no issues what so ever. As for the check engine light, be aware that MIL elimantors dont always work. I tried two different sets with my Catted Xpipe and neither would turn the light off, I ended up going with a chip.

    How to Dry the Car?

    Also big fan of the leafblower. I used to buy a Cali WaterBlade every year, but for the same $25 I got a leafblower from WalMart. Cut my drying time in half !!! Plus it gets water outta all the moldings and the mirrors..
