Hi Everyone Just bought myself this 97 Cobra for 9k 76k miles based out of New York I've never owned a Mustang before, not mechanically inclined yet but hoping to use this car to learn. Right now it needs a couple things, the shocks, the tires are too big for my liking (running 275-18 front and 285-18 rear) and the tachometer takes a while to get moving but after about 5 minutes of driving it registers correctly. I'm coming from a history of 4 cyls so I am very pleased with the power even if it's not much. Glad to be here.

Thanks guys. I have a lot to sort out between the suspension (original, needs replacing), some electrical gremlins, etc. I'm planning to use it as a weekend driver, there's still a ways to go before I have it sorted to the degree I want.


Eventually I'd like to take larger road trips in it despite the gas mileage - but who buys a Cobra for MPG? :rlaugh:
