well OH! Thats totally different. Hey i dont think there is a guy in the world that cant appreciate a Shelby Cobra, especially the old school 427. There are alot, well not a huge amount, of people down here that buy kit car Cobras, then they put the running gear of a late 5.0 in them. Have you seen this?? I talked to one guy about his and he said the kit cost him like 12,000 or so and all the other parts were about 4000, but he said the assembly was the worst tho..... I mean they look JUST like those old 427's, side pipes and everything. Ok enough of THAT tangent.



Well no vovlo action:p but my mom DOES drive a PT Crusier, its PLUM. Its a standard tho, so it can hit a little second gear scratch if you rev the shit out of it.

As for me , and i might as well tell you about my brothers as well, Im driving a 1997 Z28 with alot of bolt ones, nothing internal yet. My brother is driving a 1979 Trans Am, with the pontiac 400 and an aftermarket 5-speed tranny...

Well we have been to the track, but we dont have any UBER CRAZY times like you do man. 10 sec? how much did that cost you, damn!! He ran a 13.6 at like 104 or there, 2.1 60 ft, so you can tell hes spilling a bit, this is on slicks BTW.

I ran a 14.1 at 106, but with....get this: a 3.1 60 Ft time LOL:eek: :eek: :eek: This was on BARE street tires, they looked like slicks:o , and 4.10 gears so im pretty sure its a mid-low 13 car if i ever hooked that first or second gear.

I didnt mean to get you pissed of man, i just thought you didnt know what your talking about, but you obviously do.

Oh btw, what does it feal like to launch that thing? I cant even imagine that.....Tell us more about that Falcon man....

Yes and I drive a ROCKET CAR WITH GYRO INJECTION AND FLUBBAR PROPULSION :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

All the power in the world won't do you a damn bit of good if you weigh 6000LBs. I can assure you I know what im talking about, your not going to pull the front wheels in a 6K LBS Ford Behemoth.

Oh and you think Fast means the Focus, the taurus, the T-bird, the....should I continue?

sorry for getting pissy with you,
here in vermont i only get about 4 months out of the year
to drive the damn thing and the rest of the time its in the
garage so i have a lot of time to find parts and work on it
you know, see what works and what doesnt and when the
snow finally melts its feels great to take it out and horse it,
i never been a big fan of fords but when i saw this falcon
i thought it would be a great project car and it has.
i dont have a scanner or i would send a photo of the car sorry

i tryed to keep it as simple looking as possible it's flat black
with all the original chrome,the only thing that really stands
out is the dual 3inch exhaust out the back, the hardest part
of building it was making a suitable frame because the car was
unibody and i knew the first time i got after it the car would have
bent in half, and i have to take the inner fenders off everytime
i change the plugs. i think i just have too much time on my hands.

Ouch, I don't usually have any problems getting to the 8 plugs on mine, the back ones can be annoying at times. Did you go 3" true dual all the way back? I did a crossover in mine and it sounds alot better than when I simply had a striaght pipe.

i mentioned my lexus in here somewhere already.. but since this thread is back....

my dream really WAS to get a ferrari. im not at all into speed, im into glitz and money. but i am a bit of an environmentalist, and 10mpg doesnt cut it..

japanese cars generally get good mileage esp with the new hybrids. id love to own a prius. its what my parents get me once my brother gets his shit together and gets his license. well i hate the looks of it but 50mpg cant go wrong. anyway ill make it cute and grow to love it

later on, im waiting on hopefully a sweet ass hybrid (or fuel cell) lexus convertible (hard top). i have a thing for japanese cars. i figure thats $60 so with the other $110 left over from the ferrari id hook it up with a system, some diamonds, and some mock suede....... hehe.... west coast customs here i come!! oh and one of those color change paint jobs like black to silver.. somethin like that. black to red , black to pink

oh! what put me in the 10s was nitrous, now that stuff is nuts!
the first time i hit the "go!!" button i buried the speedo
and stretched the cable so i couldnt tell
how fast i was going because the needle just floated around,
I know somepeople think nitrous is cheating, but its cheaper
then a blower and it will make your car pull it front tires off the
ground if your mill is built to take the added abuse. the falcon
is the only car i have ever built that will pull its front tires off
the tarmac.

yeah the back plugs are a bitch, right now i have true dual
exhaust but i have been thinking about a crossover setup
but i'll most likly wait till next winter before i touch the welders,
my only complaint with the setup i have is that its very very loud!
because the way the motor fit i had to install outside the frame
longtube hedders.
