I hate to do this, and if at all possible, I'd like to keep the "why's" out of it. It's hard to sell the car as it is.
For Sale
1999 Mustang Cobra approx 58,000 miles (I need to get out to the storage garage and check for sure)
Black ext, Parchment Int
The list of goodies...
Located in Oak Ridge. Not only can you race 3.7 miles, 34 turns, but you can glow in the dark for a couple of weeks after! :-p :pepper:

This last weekend (Friday and Saturday), the local mustang club had an event at Nashville Superspeedway.
Got out in the first session (this was the first event for me this year, busy busy), and the car felt great, I was running much better *I felt* than I ever had at NSS, came out of the back...
Heh, I'm jealous as heck, at least she let me tinker with it a bit. It's an 06 Pony Package V6. We ended up getting into the suspension quite a bit, as the stock shocks/struts simply didn't like any type of spring. We added an adjustable panhard bar, Tokico adjustables (which are surprisingly...

Summary:
New in the box, never installed or used, T2R 31 spline for 8.8
$400.00
If I didn't have the problems I think I'm having with the car (motor probably coming out) I'd be on it myself...
No, I don't have an R. Most of you know that. Most of you on this forum, however, I know, and any input, pros and cons, would be appreciated.
5th gear in the 99 inhales with great vigor. Example: At Nashville Superspeedway, the front straight I redline 4th about midway around 130 mph...
Enjoyed the heck out of the event, great seeing old friends and new.
I've never been much of a reporter, so here's the short version that I can remember:
Barry Kline: 1st (Mustang)
Mike Scornavacci (sp? sorry) 2nd (T1 ZO-6) also a SVTP member here.
WilsTone was doing awesome in the...
As some of you know, I ran Motive 3.90 gears in my car for the last year or so. While I was pleased with the middle ground it gave me between 4.10's and 3.73's, I can honestly say I will never touch another Motive product again. I picked the car up from my local shop, Delk Performance today...
I've decided to break down and get a trailer. Enclosed is out of the question (price range), so it's down to an open trailer. Aluminum would be nice, but damn! They's expensive!
I'm looking at a used 22' with a very large storage box on the front that would allow me to add a tire rack on...
After talking with several different folks, I've gotten several different opinions. This is a poll, of sorts, but I don't recall a thread here going over the details of an install of one either. I'm hoping to install one here in the next couple of weeks, I'm waiting to get my car back from the...
As the title states, who is this? I saw a pic of this car in the Autobahn set, and here it was at the superspeedway this weekend, and I missed it and it's driver!
Car is apart waiting on the KB IRS carrier to arrive, I only went out to the track on Friday to assist a local buddy of mine.
I figure as much as you guys have had your IRS's apart this is the best place to bounce this question.
After CMP, I noticed moisture on my rear discs starting from the hub area. Has anyone else had a problem with this? I'm sure heat had a lot to do with it, but are the rear hubs...
Figured that I'd throw this out here also.
I've been weighing the option of selling these for a while, and going to a simpler route (aka MM race valved Bils). As stated, I have no idea how to price these, but I'm entertaining reasonable offers. I'm going to have to do something soon, CMP is...
Since alot of talk was going on about measuring bumpsteer recently, I figured I'd post this.

Guess what's on the way! These:

along with an Autopower 4pt harness/cross bar and Wilans 6pt harnesses. Car should be nice and ready for the March NASA evnet here in Hillbilly-ville.

I had the opportunity to run the Nashville Superspeedway infield course this past weekend. After all the talk about the transitions from the oval to the road course, it had me concerned, since I have some rub in the front from the car being lowered. It didn't become an issue, and I had an...
OK, who's going this year? Just got the registration packet last week.
I'll be there for the Friday and Sunday running, and destroying of hideous grills on Saturday.:burn:

While not an R, I hang out with most you knuckleheads so I figured it's a good place to post this.
I'll try to keep this short (ribs soaking, kevin and co. in town ;) ). Most of this is suspension related, but there is a gear/diff comment in here too.
First, the list of mods done:
MM...
checking my local board, one of the guys on a bike raced a 00R on the interstate today. The guy motioned for him to follow, pulled off in a Walgreens and introduced himself as Brad Hopkins (who incidentally plays for the TN Titans).
Pretty cool, no?
Surfing around last night, I checked the place I picked up my modine cooler and found this:

Either way, heck of a deal for someone, thought I'd share. If I weren't so far off track budget-wise, I'd pick this up myself. These guys were...
heading up to the SCMC gingerman event this past weekend the following incident happened:
