After 13 DSM's
 , I figure it's time for a change... never owned a v8 rear drive car before. Kinda always wanted one since I was a high schooler.Got lucky and scored a deal with a local Dealer for a 1996 Mustang Cobra. Apparently this is Chuck's old car from Winner's Circle (if that means anything to anyone). I'll get some pics tonight after I pick it up. Hoping you guys will still let me hang out with "ya'll".

I'm all for V8 power and rear wheel drive tire spinning fun. I don't even have brand preference like most. I Just hope that you don't let it get to your head like it does owners that have never driven anything else. 300 ponies is nothing to sneeze at and the Cobra is fast, but it's not ANY WHERE near as fast as it sounds when it's ripping the tires off!!! Reminds me of the FWD tire spinning intoxication... In reallity that Cobra should run about 14.0 second ET's which happens to be very similar to a fast FWD GST that I know of.
 BTW - A newer Stang with a new motor can't really be compared to Old, used-up DSM's or Escorts for that matter, when it comes to reliability. Not hating, just hoping you have fun and keep a good perspective. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo
