Cobra sold :( But new ride is now at home!!

[Fordman9870]

Got it for 3G under sticker. Searched for 3 weeks on auto trader all over the country and actually found it 90 miles away in a small town dealership. I love it!
The car is very quiet (not for long) and man does it handle!! looking forward to the boss track attack class in Utah later this year (comes with car)
It doesn't have the HP the cobra did, but I have seen where headers,CAI,exhaust give it 60 more HP which puts me back in the neighbor hood. I am going to uncork the quad exhaust tonight

So much better than an old cobra. Nice upgrade!

Sorry to hear about the Cobra, but I think you'll be just fine, hahaha.

Is that a panoramic roof? ...or, just painted black?

I'm fascinated by these cars, but I'd have to ditch those fkin' wheels! Ford shit the bed with those, IMO.

 

[Fordman9870]

no Pan, its painted

With that compression and forged internals it's begging for a blower Can you put the projector headlights from the 5.0's on it?

agreed. sorry termis are nice and were awesome for their time but i looooove the new boss'

 

[cobraetti]

hows the power feel compared to the termi? is the handling that much better as well?

 

[Fordman9870]

I can not compare the handling, The Boss is so well balanced it is unbelievable. and this is coming form the 90 miles on the way home. as far as the comparison HP. I really didn't get on it yet (break in period) but when i did push it a little the torque i was used to wasn't there. I went from 491tq (Cobra) at wheels to 380 tq at crank (Boss) But man this thing revs for ever. (7500 RPM) (and no i didn't rev it like that haha) I have also heard these 5.0 respond to mods just about as good as the terminators did.

Best way. Broke in all my bikes like that. Rolling burnouts outta the dealership driveway

Love the car! Congrats...but man those stock wheels are so ugly. Not sure what Ford was thinking.

someone was hung over in the R&D and was working with double vision hahaha

 

[Fordman9870]

Yea i guess the wheels will have to grow on me, they kinda look like wagon wheels. I would think some chrome leguna seca or fr500 would look nice. If i win the lottery maybe some TF

Yeah, I heard that the 'break in period' is not needed anymore for these newer cars. People told me I didn't need to break in my Cobra. But you never know.

Awesome car! CONGRATS! :rockon:

If you had to replace the Cobra, you chose well.

I still have my 70 , you can see a reflection of it in this walk around.

Note never mind all the crap in the garage. I have the interior out and new waiting to go in the 70. and you will see all the boxes and stuff haha

 

[fastford21g]
