Returned to my roots...
Thanks for all the compliments guys, I truly didn't think my car would be well accepted around here. And since I do plan to come back to an LS1 in the next year or two, this car won't be getting anything more than basic bolt-ons and maybe a nitrous kit.
But the bottom line is, at 8.5 @ 87mph, I've got a stock LS1 and some lightly modded ones covered lol. It ran a best of 8.4 @ 89mph, in 77 degree weather no less, so with a stickier tire it for sure has really low 8's in it (maybe really high 7's).
I just can't wait to get my speedometer corrected lol!

A pushrod 5.0 isn't anywhere near identical to what I have, nor is one even close to an LS1, stock for stock or mod for mod.
No what I was saying was, kinda along with my previous comment. I know a guy with a 5.0 pushrod cobra, like yours but black... you were saying yours is relatively close in speed/power to an ls1, I was just saying although I understand they are entirely different motors his still doesnt keep up with my lightly modded ls1 even with a stout cam and heads. That's all.

Nice! I was going to put cobra hood and bumpers on my 95 eventually. Only had it for a month before it kept me safe and unhurt in a car accident. I like trans ams better, but sn95's hold a special place in my heart because of that car. Just a full bolt on 5.0 with 3.73's. It moved good for a $1300 car
Hard to tell, but the front end is about a foot more to the drivers side than it should be

I didn't give but $6,450 for mine out the door. Granted if I were to resell it I'd probably ask $7,500 since I've made quite a few improvements on it since then, not to mention the practically new M/T ET Drag slicks that would come with it, already mounted.
Nothing wrong w/ the 4V cars except for the fact that there pretty much obsolete now thanks to the Terminator and new Coyote motor. Plus is costs a ton to get big power outta them...also agree great wheels! 
But they're far from obsolete bud. Practically anything from a '04 4V can be transferred to a '96 4V, including superchargers!I will give you this, our bolt-ons are pretty expensive compared to most of the LS1's and still doesn't net as much power. But overall they're pretty good cars and can make 360-380rwhp with bolt-ons and cams. And thanks!
well technically both the terminator and coyote motors are 4v's lol. but they're far from obsolete bud. Practically anything from a '04 4v can be transferred to a '96 4v, including superchargers!

I got a good deal on it for sure, but my T/A is definitely faster. Mustangs get a lot of hate around here understandably, but they are good cars. I'm not a 4.6 fan, but I do like the 4v better than the 2v and they are easier to make power on than the old 5.0's
That is a great looking mustang.
But that fact that you are trying to make it sound "fast" or as fast as a stock LS1, or even remotely cool, makes you once again a typical Mustang owner.
Either way enjoy it man!

Educate yourself.
Just stating facts bud. When I'm called out as having a "slow" car, I defend myself/my car. Slow and fast mean a lot to different people though.
Without FI, pretty much. There may be a few running low 12's with bolt-ons and cams but it's a lot more commonplace for an LS1 to do it.

Ive been saying those fr500s would look sick on a camaro for years,check the photoshop thread,ive asked for someone to ps it just no ttakers,honest bud i would just build that car,forged bottom end lots of boost etc,or just be on the hunt for a 03 cobra drivetrain,mustangs are just pricey to build and ya dont get much out of them,but boost is the only way you will make that thing somewhat quick,your not going to get alot of love on this site, but i think its a clean car to do something cool with,the easiest way n cheapest way to make that thing run would be a ls swap,i mean how much do 03 cobra drivetrains go for these days, back in the day when i was looking they were 7 to 9 grand?and there is a very few cobras running low 12s with bolt ons n cams,i say build it,but i love the style of those cars
