As far as I know the first 03Cobra to run with the PHA, This is a middle speed run about 67seconds, my best was a 65 but the cam batt was dead. Awesomely fun.

A couple of laps from Sunday, the weather was decent and there were some very cool rides there. Saleen showed up in force with a half a dozen or so cars towed by three Saleen f250's. Zen moment of the weekend, watching a Ford GT in the novice group give a point by to a Saleen truck.:D...
Has anyone had a problem with a persistant check fuel cap light after their whipple swap? Throwing either a 455 or 457 code?
I am having this issue and I do not believe it has anything to do with the Whipple however the latest Dealership BS excuse for refusing to test the evaporative...
Been driving the car like an old lady since last weekends Whipple swap finally got it tuned today at Kaufmans motorsports.
For comparison this is the dyno from a coupla months ago, Eaton with 2.93 upper and a canned chip tune.
And here is todays, Whipple with 3.5" (13lb) pulley, custom...
. . .isn't gonna pass it off as stock.:coolman:
Spent today finally putting on the whipple that's been taunting me from the garage the last coupla weeks. Everything came off nicely, the whipple fits perfectly, the inlet on the thing makes two of the bolts a royal pain to reinstall. Had to...
The driver on the other hand could use a bit of work. Made it to the local SVTOA T&T at Quaker City raceway in Ohio. So it's my fat butt wearing a borrowed helmet (oops didn't know I needed one) on street tires and granny shifting because I didn't want to break anything 2 hours from home...
SVT club dyno day today. Drove an hour to get there, it's about 85 degrees and 90% humidity, was the first car on with a total of about 20 minutes cooldown.
end result 431.8 hp and 410 tqe. I'm happy with the hp as that is a good asbadasitgets kind of number.
However the torque was...
After assembling, setting up, and networking several computers. Then finishing wrapping and putting all the loot under the tree. I can finally say goodnight and Merry Christmas to all of you at SVTP!
Here's a pic of the calm before the storm.;-)
Now if I can only get used to the screaming 130 hp:rollseyes
I've tried giving the thumbs up to other focus drivers, I get strange looks.:??: :dw:
The interior build quality is better than the Cobra.:nonono: :bored:
But once I get the stickers on, watch out!
Yeah I know the pictures...
Top down weather in the 'burgh today, the sky was clear and the air was warm,
took a coupla pics on the way into town today with the new pic phone. Not great quality but not bad for a phone. :coolman:

I was at Borders tonight doing some book browsing and picked up the C&D annual road test issue (or something like that) for a quick look. A coupla pages in they have a sport coupe comparison between the '03 Cobra, the Infiniti G35, and the Mazda RX8. Well after telling about how the Snake...
Pittsburgh area vert owners, your car could be famous!
I know someone who is looking for a brightly colored mustang convertible '95 or newer to be featured in a print shoot for the PA tourism dept. The shoot would be on the 11th and 13th of October. This would be a chance for someone to make...
Just out for a little open air cruise tonight and I pull up to a light beside a new evo. I'm looking over chacking out the car because i haven't seen many around here and he starts revving at me. The road goes about a third of a mile up a pretty steep grade then narrows to one lane, noone else...
Only this one came with a 2.9 upper and idler:coolman:.
Wow what a blast, the car runs like a beast, sixth is usable as a passing gear. And first is almost unnecessary. I know what ya'll mean now when you say don't ever ride in a chipped Cobra if you plan on keeping yours stock.
