IMHO he didn't run out of gear at 90. They pull really hard all the way up. If you noticed something AROUND 80-90mph it was the damn 2-3 shift. 1st will take you to about 47mph, 2nd to a tick under 80mph, 3rd to around 115 or so..etc. I have a feeling he botched (or granny shifted to 3rd). It's a crummy shift, and hard to land properly in these things. I prefer to take it slower to ensure I grab the gear instead of bouncing off it and losing the race. Boost drops immediately when you let off the gas, so I'm willing to bet that's what you saw.

Okay, little 
but there isn't any race in this thread either.
I saw a '03+ "Cobra" or what looked like one the other day. Your Cobra came with dual exhaust, right unit?
This one had everything looking like one but that. Girl driving and couldn't get her to rev (GF in car) to prove my doubts wrong.

There is a good chance that I am getting a '04 Torch Red Cobra next week. 
It will be June before the Kenne Bell blower goes on it though. I can wait for an extra 300 rwhp. I am probably going to get a clutch, injectors, and a shifter when I get the blower. Might as well jump in with both feet.
