Ok everybody listen to this. Some of u may know that I recently swapped to a TF eaton. Screams like crazy tq is good hp is good. Well yesterday I let my brother drive it. He is the one who got me into cars. He has a stratus rt but builds imports. He's in the progress of a 240 swap. Anyway, he always made fun of me for buying a mustang. Even tho it's a cobra, it's still a mustang. Used to call mustang drivers "mustbegays". Anyways, I let him drive it with the new setup and it literally put tears In his eyes. Like, he passed our destination just so he could keep driving it. "This, is the fastest car I've ever driven" so I feel so much pride in my car. To have a mustang ford hater tear up to the amazingness of my cobra make the car 1000 times more valuable to me. I got a Txt this morning saying "I drop my stratus to the store, and now I hate it". I just wanted to share this with other cobra owners. 10 years old and still changing people minds.

His stratus moves. It is a dumb concept, that car. Import/domestic hybrid.

I don't let anyone else drive it but when I give them rides or pull on them in whatever they're driving, they immediately become jealous and amazed how fast it is. It's probably just the scream from the ported Eaton that makes the experience that much more intense haha.

I got a buddy into mine, hit an uphill freeway on-ramp, and floored it with the top down in 2nd @ 25mph. I could see my buddy literally grab onto the A-pillar for dear life, and look like he wanted to just bail out before his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Scared the shit out of him but he was grinning ear to ear! And I just have a lowly CAI for performance mod. :beer:

OP, title made me think someone crashed another Terminator. Good read, thanks! And what's a TF Eaton? Something by True Forged? Not a lot of info on Google about it.
