Hey everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself... I'm a new resident of PA transplanted from TX, but have spent some time in the past in the winters here so Im not totally oblivious what I am getting myself into.

Anyways, I am a die hard Mustang guy and have owned 2 cobras in the past. A '99 Rio Red Cobra vert that was pretty mild with basic bolt-ons and gears, and then there was the '04 Black Cobra coupe that was pretty built, running a steggy ported whipple (2.3l) at about 13#'s of boost. That was a fun car but as it turns out, once your making 600 to the tires, and using DR's there arent many chances to drive it if you live in a rainy climate (Houston). Long story short, I sold it since I didnt drive it often to free up money for a wedding and I am still dying to get my hands on its replacement.

Here are a couple pics of them:

Hopefully we will purchase a house within the next year so I can justify dumping some more money into my hobby!

Ive seen some nice cars on the site! Hello to all and lookin forward to meeting some of you (once I have a nice car to drive around that is!)

Thanks guys! Yea the 04 was a mean mo-fo! My next cobra is going to be a little more tame.. i want one that I drive all I want in the summer months despite traffic and weather... I really enjoyed how forgiving the stock clutch was to everyday traffic so guess that puts me back down to a ported eaton with the bolt ons that come along with it. Hopefully I can deal with 500+rwhp :)

Edit: I should also mention that the wife and I are trying to purchase a house within the next year so my dreams of a car that is pretty much a play toy are tabled until I have a home for it.

The good thing is that Terminators will be a little cheaper when you're ready to pull the trigger.
