A few months ago, I sold my old 88 mustang and got a new project. I had so much fun with that 2.3, and learned a ton about cars. When I got the car, it went19.6@64mph in the quarter. I eventually took the car to a consistent 12.2's at 111mph, running 20psi of boost, E85 and a small shot of spray to get everything moving.
Anyway, I have a new project now. I bought a 'cobra' kit car from Factory Five Racing:
The basic build will be a new coyote 5.0, TR-3650 transmission, 99+ mustang brake with ABS, and a 3 link rear suspension. My goal is to have a modern take on the cobra, hence modern fuel injected engine with ABS and a smooth 5-speed trans. I will likely paint it some kind of orange metallic color with silver stripes.
The work is going slow, but steady. So far, I painted the frame and attach most of the front suspension and brakes.
I still have and will keep my 97 GT as my daily driver. She has 210k miles now, but I think I can get a lot more good miles from her. I am keeping up on maintenance and fixing any little issues I see. I just fixed the door pins and enjoyed AC all summer long. It makes for an enjoyable daily driver and is about all the power you need from a daily car (think winter driving).
