To me its cool to see a fast non 03-04 Cobra, cuz the Terminators are everywhere, atleast you know that a fast SN95 owner knows his ****.

Forgive my ignorance because I have not read the entire thread, but I know there is a VERY nice looking S/C Cobra (early SN96 94-98 version) for sale right now at SVTP! I don't know a lot about 'Stangs, but this one looked great and put down some respectable numbers...Just thought I would throw that in.
I mean id love a s281e, but everyone knows that things probably gonna be fast, not that i want a complete sleeper, bit i wanna suprise some ppl...and when your car says saleen 90% are gonna think wow that things fast...and not to mention that thing prolly cost 300% more than a sn95 cobra...

My friend has a 4.6 and its slow as hell compared to my car. 5 speed sucks too. also, mustangs are everywhere! i prally see five or six everyday. 4th gen f body's aren't all over the place and look/perform so much better!!
And when it comes to sounds it will sound alittle bit better than this, as this still has stock headers....

i run 3:73's with a 150 shot and i can get traction with a good burnout and dragradials.
also procharger got an 04 gt with a their p1sc stage 1 kit and 3:73's, no other mods not even bolt ons to run a 12.1 on drag radials.
ls1's are a bad *** cars dont get me wrong but with the way the car is sut up driving one is not for everyone.
MA will be dooing away with emissions testing 95 and older cars. so maybe when that happens ill start my ls1 notchback project. low 12's w/ a stock ls1
