I took the 5.0L for a ride today. It felt great to stomp on the gas for the first time since Octoberish. It ended up being a short ride though. I had to be careful what roads I took due to some towns using more salt than others. Around my house the roads were completely clean, but one town over they still had salt residue on the roads . Gotta love NYS!!!

I'll be experiencing that "back in the world of torque" feeling every weekend, now that the notch is officially on "toy duty." The TurdBird is nice, but nothing beats the feeling of tearing through 5 gears manually, and the torque on a stock '94 4.6L just ain't the same as old-school EFI iron.

I've been lurking around here, just not posting much.

I can't wait to see that Cobra in Carlisle. You are still going right?

Is there still any chance of getting you to change your mind and bring the GT along? Or both?

You would no doubt take home trophies with that GT!!!

I really need to get more/better pics. I forgot the camera yesterday in my sheer excitment of getting to drive the car again. Sorry for the whoring, but here you go:










Looking at these pics, it's amazing how certain angles of sun light and cloud cover effect the look of the paint.

haha ... thanks but the GT is not going to any shows until the motor combo is done (hopefully this winter). Most likely will still bring the cobra up. did you decide what you're going to do? Your car is a sight I definitely want to see
