The guys that hurt the engine are the ones who can't/won't pay for a proper tune for the modifications made.
Despite the fact that these cars can make a buttload of power w/ just those few mods listed in the A example,..there are numerous threads where another Cobra dude's car is sitting w/ a hurt engine because of it.

Mike, you know the story, you can run rich all day long, but lean ONCE. Most of the guys that have busted their Cobra motors either have a ****ty tune or turned the wick up too much. Just ONE more smaller pulley should do it, right? How many of those cars have we seen pushing out 500, 600, 700+ hp all day long with not one problem? Try that with a factory 5.0 pushrod motor.
after driving around happy w/ under 300 HP and even less torque on the red car, I'm confident that I'll be smurfy w/ the Cobras' power stock
That only works for a few months...
I was happy with my 95, almost, and thought my 13 was insane... but now I'm getting used to it. I think it's probably like crack. You can never have enough.
You guys missed my point-that kind of power is addictive, and once you've had it long enough to get used to it, a significantly less powerful car is going to disappoint, in my experience.
This! Who said anything about drag racing?Take it to a track day at that road course they opened in Ala. a few years ago. Barber motorsports park I think? Try going fast for more than 4 seconds while turning corners.
How do you get to do all this cool stuff. I want your life, sir.the 2013 GT500 is honestly STUPIDLY fast... but to a foxbody guy its just not the same. ive been 170+mph on a old air field runway in mexico in a pretty stock '13 and it was way to smooth for me to think of it as a mustang. smooth as the GTR we had going just as fast on the same runway
Last bit of advice (ok, probably not, but last bit for this post): Once you get the Termi going, and get a little taste of DD'ing with that kind of power (even stock), THEN go test drive a Fox.
This is what I like about a fox:
It's the closest thing to a true muscle car experience you can have w/o having a 1969 Mach 1 w/ a 428CJ in it, but with the added creature comforts, and safety features that come w/ a late 80's/early 90's car.
I like the rough ride,..I like the small-ish feel, and I like the way they look. To me Nothing says step off faster than a mean assed notch set up w/ the right stuff.
And,...I'm certainly not afraid to modify one as I see fit.
