Thread: New to the forum and PA

  1. #1

    New to the forum and PA

    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:

    99 Cobra Vert:






    2004 Whippled Coupe:










    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!)

    -Sean

    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.

    Welcome! My car is from San Antonio!

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
