Default ran an old mustang with mods!!

well im going to work and see a bad *** old mustang behind me......i hear him reving over and over so i speed up and get in the left lane, its an old cobra black on black that sounded like a freakin tractor!.....i was kinda intimidated at first because it just looks fast as hell with a huge cowl hood on the front! well he drops it and i slow to about 30, he honks three times and i crush it into the floor....i put a lenth on him and we go till about 115 then shut it down, i jumped 1 lenth and we stayed that the whole race.....we both slow and he gives me the thumbs up!!!! i do the same and ask what he gots, he replies custom built 302 he tells me he roasts z-28 all the time, you must have it modded? i reply well a little bit

Doubt it was an 88 Cobra, no such animal. A 98 maybe. They came with 4.6 32V motors, so the 302 would definitely be a transplant. Nice race!

Didnt the 93's have something like a 5.9 or something like that?
He had to be modded, as I believe they were around a low to mid 14 second car.
Still respectble though.
Nice run.

93 came with a 302 just a bit more moddified then the GT 5.0. 93 Cobra ran 14.2 & 93 Cobra R ran I think low 13's.

No such thing as a '88 Cobra. The only fox-body Mustang Cobra was in '93 and those are very rare, but more rarer are the '93 Cobra R's. If it was an '88 Mustang, it did have the 302 like the guy said, but was not a Cobra. I believe the only thing the '93 Cobra had over the '93 GT was a GT-40 intake, a stouter T-5 tranny and better suspension along with a few body differences too.

Either way, good run!

Hrmmm, sounds about right for a mild 302. After I get my new carb on I should be around LS1 quick once again.

Unless Stanger88 can bum some slicks and get a 1.6 60' I dont see him nearing the twelves lol. Just messing with you...but seriously. I hope the new carb does wonders. I expect a race next week to see how it stacks up.

Everyone knows that a large percentage of fox body GTs have cobra emblems out the ***... I wouldnt be suprised if the owner called it a cobra but it was a fox GT.

It is not just the Fox bodies. WAY TOO many New Edge and SN95's have them too. It is really disappointing
