Warrior 102 · May 5, 2006

car looks good....what was your E/T?

shallowreef · May 5, 2006

Cool,

Nice pics! What did you run that day?

CanadaStang · May 5, 2006

Big wing!!

dustang50 · May 5, 2006

Best time was a 14.1 @ 97. I couldn't get any traction for the first 60 ft - first time racing, and first time pounding on the new 4.10s. Not to mention I was on street tires...

Stock spoiler on the 2000 Cobra R...

01Steeda · May 6, 2006

yes, but thats not a 2000 cobra R. other than the wing i like your car. The wing is out of place IMO.

MyEarsHurt · May 6, 2006

+1 vote for wing removal, cool pics though

myponyrocks · May 6, 2006

woohoo your ol lady goes to the track with you! I'm jealous, I need a track woman to ride shotgun on pre-lims.

Hunter-White · May 6, 2006

No more wing

If all that bothers you is the fact that the wing does not belong to a GT, then are you going to tell him to remove that chin spoiler, cobra wheels, scoops and grill delete too?

01Steeda · May 6, 2006

No it isnt that it is on the wrong car.. I just dont like the look.

hotmustang331 · May 6, 2006

Nice! Definatly not bad at all. Your hooking better than I was when all I had was a K&N filter lol. I went a 14.4 @ 96.5.

And now a motivation on removing the wing....one guy put that wing on his stock/bolton 99+ GT and LOST 3MPH IN HIS 1/4 MILE TRAP SPEED! And alot of others started getting crackes in their trucklids due to the extreme downforce that the wing generates.

Essentially its just like throwing 200-300 Pounds of stereo equipment in your trunk when your up at speed. The faster you go, the more weight it throws down. You could probably sell it and pay for an 03-04 cobra spoiler.

But if you really like it, then thats all that matters...style is all about personal taste. Just as unique as peoples exhaust prefrences. Just thought though that I would throw out the facts on that wing...most people dont know about that. (A LONG while back I wanted an 00 R wing, but after hearing that, I decided against it)

Wing looks good imo. You should get Cobra R front bumper too:SNSign:

I appreciate all of the opinions, but if I didn't like something on my car I changed it. Hence the new spoiler, grill delete, chin spoiler, rims, etc. It's all about personal preference when it comes to appearance.

As far as the functionality of the rear spoiler... Yup, it takes away from my 1/4 mile time. But I've been to the track once with this car & have had it for almost 5 years, so track numbers don't mean much to me yet. Ask me in another year & I may be singing another tune (with a wingless car, too), but for now I like the looks of the spoiler.

The wife had fun at the track & wants to drive next time. She's not allowed to until she learns the shift points with the new gears, though...

Looks like the track's hook another one. You can't help but be addicted the first time down the track. Nothing beats the adrenalin rush. good times for your first run too . Our first track date is this weekend. My wife wants to drive too . With the stroker it's a little different than it was and she's never drove it on the track before by herself.

dustang50 · May 7, 2006

I'm sure the KB you're bolting on will change how it drives. Just a little bit...

OneStiffGT · May 7, 2006

Thats not a wing! Thats a picnic table!

SpazLE995 · May 7, 2006

If you got the Hood and Front Bumper to match you could keep the spoiler!
