Well, tonight we are getting Regans 2003 Cobra that he has been dealing with. After his purchase and the car getting damaged being removed from the trailer, various drivability issues that WolfPack Speed had to work out and his other minor issues.
The car has some issues that need to be addressed, we have all winter to work that out
Background on me.
I have owned a couple fast cars. I do feel that as far as street legal vehicles, this mustang is most likely the fastest. WolfPack dyno'ed it at 503 RWHP on what he called a "Safe and conservative" tune. My current most powerfull vehicle is a sled pulling truck, it is a 1979 Ford with a SVO A-460 block with 521ci. It has iron EX-514 heads and intake, solid roller, Pro-Systems Dominator, Sony Bryant crank, Manley rods, Mahle pistons, Titanium REV valves, Jessel Mohawks...blah, blah, blah. It put out 975HP at the crank on a water brake dyno.
From my time looking over the car, I can tell you that Regan and the owner previous to him had spent some time in performance catalogs! This car also is a "R" Title theft recovery out of Texas. It appears to have been hit hard in the front and was placed on a frame machine to be pulled back. I followed the car down the road and it does track straight.
It looks to have the following:
Maximum Motorsports "Maximum Grip Box" suspension kit.
Dyno tuning performed at WolfPack by John Lund with the SCT software.
Billstien equiped adjustable coil over conversion.
Solid rear axle conversion.
Aerospace Drag-Race Brakes (Anyone want to trade for stock!) For $400 I can convert these to a street kit. This is a viable option.
The claim is that it has aftermarket camshafts, injectors, and a MAFIA.
There is some sort of roll cage with swing open entry/exit bars.
It has aftermarket wheels, these will likely be sold off and stock Cobra wheels put back on.
There is a Grant steering wheel with a quick release mechanism. This will go and be replaced with a stock wheel and airbag.
There is a dent in the drivers fender, this needs repaired.
There is a dent in the black drivers door window trim. Needs replaced.
The solid rear axle is an 8.8 with a leaking pinion seal. This will be repaired.
The hydraulic lines going to the rack are bent/deformed and rubbing each other as well as rubbing the rack. These will be replaced.
There is a remote oil filter kit and the braided lines are rubbing multiple items. This will re-routed.
Brake lights do not function. This will be repaired.
It has some sort of crazy hard clutch, WolfPack suspects it may be a dual disk clutch. This may get removed in favor of a RAM single disk.
Body lines between doors/quarters, doors fenders, and fenders hood are all mis-aligned. I will take it to a body shop to get straightened out.
Once this is all completed, it will make a nice weekend cruiser and car cruise ride. It is acceptable as is, but needs some TLC to make it right. I consider it a work in progress that I can take to completion. At 500 RWP, it should prove to be a fun ride!
My username is from the lead charactor in "Escape from New York", a 1981 film staring Kurt Russel.
When we take delivery of the car, I will get some pictures and post them..... because everyone knows... a post is worthless without pics!
