My WS6 v. 98 "302" Cobra No one likes to read a run-on story so:
I was on my way to work this morning, and some older gentleman pulls up on me making all kinds of noise. It was a green 96-98 GT, but with a flat-black shaker hood advertising a 302ci ford. It was in really great condition and sounded great. It came down to a double lane left turn lane at a stop light. There was already a car there so i pulled in behind him and wait. the light turns green and he chirps the tires pulling away to turn. I leave it in first taking the turn as quickly as i could without risking sideways action and then wound it out on him. I pulled to the top of third, about 100, mabye just shy. Moral of the story, I was impressed with my car. I really closed the distance fast, and ended up way ahead. He bailed out in the next turn lane but it was all good. I threw out a polite wave and proceeded to work.
again bowtie> blue oval

Either way, he won't fly up on any more F-bodies.

Sorry, I'm still kinda lost.
He could have had a 94-95 GT or Cobra. Or some tool that has no idea 95 was the last year for 5.0 pushrods in stangs.

I thought originally that it was a cobra. My first sighting of this car was the front end and the 302 scheme. I guess i cant get that out of my head. It was probably a GT. He was like 50 so I don' know what he was trying to pull.

Yeah I stuck the foxbody "5.0" emblem on the back of my car. Below that I put a "turbocharged" nameplate. Quite a few people, mostly non-stang guys ask about it.
