OK Fellow Stangers - time to introduce myself. I have sat on the sidelines for about as long as Bill-it did before he jumped in. Im Cobra Dave, I have a Lazer Red 2001 Cobra. (see garage). I know that alot of you Stangers out there dont like the club scene. Thats cool. I respect the lone wolf philosophy. (thats what us old farts call someone who doesnt want to be in a club ). I will never pressure you to join a club if you wont get on my case because Im in a club. I live, breath, and bleed Ford Blue. I love Mustangs and I like hanging with people who also love Mustangs, so I joined a club and proceeded to become the President so we could create a club that was cool and didnt play games like other clubs. My main goal in life is the enjoyment of All Mustangs and those who drive them, be it in a straight line or on a road course, at a car show or on a cruise. I dont like garage queens, or Fords with Chevy engines in them. Anyhow, hope to see you at some of the events thru out the year.

Thanks - Its great to have the car back. Ross Racing & Restoration in Forest Grove put complete ureathane bushing in the front & rear suspension, Bilstien shocks, full length subframe connectors, we put a T56 6t spd from a 2000 Cobra R in it and oh yeah - 4.30 gears - dont fear the gear.

Glad you have your car back! I believe I heard that your stang had exploded a ring and pinion? They weren't motive gears, were they? Congrats on the 6 speed. I wanted that tranny, but could only afford a 3550 TKO.

I was a lurker for a while too, till I met Eric and Misha, and I decided to post more on here. Welcome to the forums!

I dont like garage queens, or Fords with Chevy engines in them.

I couldnt agree more. I think its sacreligious in a way, I hate it when you see a nice hot rod, like a 32 ford coupe with a 350 in it. Or vice versa.

The one thing I really, really hate is the shelby cobra kits with the chev 350. My favorite vehicle ever, and they desecrate it like that? May as well slap my mom in front of me!!

Yes they were motive gears. Broke 3 teeth off the ring gear. Mustang Tuning was great about it though. They sent a new set, no questions asked.

Hey buddy - good to hear from you. You were a life saver at the show. Are you going to go to the Mustang Roundup. I will have four new batteries waiting for you. I will be in the SVT lot. Did you go to the SVT show this year. We got notified about it just a week before the show so no one made it up there. Looking forward to seeing you again. (I carry 16 - 20 rechargeable batteries now to the shows for pictures)
