Man, those pics are classic. Made me grin :D.

 

Well, I don't have a S-195, in fact go back 30 years and that's what I got. I have a 1976 Mustang Cobra II. Just a 302, 3 speed auto car.

 

Oh, and did I mention I'm only 17 ^_^

Awww, that just made me warm and fuzzy inside, or the feeling you get when you just punch the throttle. Yeah.... I'm going with the latter

Lol. I don't think it's going to be in my future any time soon to learn how to drive a standard. My father says "I don't really feel like tearing your Cobra down every two weeks to put a new clutch in it," and the only other standard gearbox car we have is a '86 SVO, and my father is hell-bent on not letting me drive it. If you don't know, the SVO Mustang's were a 4 cyl, turbo car from the factory. Lets put it this way, me made a trip from Cincinnati, Ohio to Louisville, Kentucky, usually a good 1 hour 30 minute drive, in 45 minutes...

 

Yeah, it's that fast

4cyl turbo? that fast? Wow. I have a c230k MB with a 4cyl super or turbo and its quick but not that quick

Yep. The Mustang SVO's were fast. I think 200 hp from a 4-banger. They used the same engine in the T-Birds (SC) and they would run 142 or so! I had an '85 GT and had a tough time playing with an SVO!

 

 

Wow man. Much props. I just am not at all familiar with them. I have never seen em before.

9VENOM9,

 

Great pics of an awesome car. Which JBA Headers did you use? Long tube or the cat forward? Did you have them installed or do it yourself? If you had them installed, how much did it run you? I am want the headers but I am going to have to sneak them on.

 

Thank You,

Chris

I have the shorties... gained 8RWHP but the sound difference in the exhaust was worth it... if I had to do it over again I would of prob went with long tubes... might do it next year...

 

Also added the Cobra R hood from TrueFiber right before Knotts...

Did a 2 tone paint on the hood.. silver and blue.. Its going into the Body shop on Monday for a whole new face lift.. :headspin:
