Sold this car a few years ago. Was cleaning out my hardrive when I ran across a bunch of old pictures and videos of it so i made a quick vid to remember the car by. It didn't have 600whp like some of the cars in here, but it was heavily cammed, one of the best sounding 5.0's i've heard, and one hell of a college car. I owe the car at least twice for getting me laid ha. :rockon:

It was on the stock 302 shortblock with some upped compression btw......only bottom end work was Clevite main and rod bearings. Stock intake ported....etc. I kept the stock hood, wheels, intake, etc because I wanted to make the car fast while looking pretty stockish. Best time in the 1/8th on 255/40r/17's was a 8.1 @ 90mph. Best in the 1/4 was 12.4 @ 112mph.

You guys have any college/high school rides that you miss and regret selling?

What was the combo of the motor/exhaust?


motor was your basic H/C/I setup. Heads shaved for 10:1 compression. Clevite race bearings on the bottom end, MSD chip at 7k rev limit. Heads were worked over pretty good and the upper and lower intake was ported.

Exhaust was BBK 1 5/8ths LT's into 3 inch collectors, 3 inch Dr. Gas o/r X pipe, into 3 inch MAC Pro-dumps. Also put in some cutouts for track use. I've never seen that setup so I decided to try it and turned out sounding pretty good.

I remember this car running at Greer with open headers and I think Lary was driving it. I always did want a shot at it.

hah yea Larry drove it a couple times. Least I can do for helping me with it. He did a hell of a job porting the intake. He had a holley systemax he wanted me to throw on but I was like noooo man I want it looking stock. So he spent like 11 hours porting the intake runners on it haha. Good guy.

351 sorry to hear that bud. Car looks real clean. Sorry you had to let it go but hey at least you had it for 15 long years. I only had mine for 4 years and 2 of those it was bone stock.

Nice vid man. I always loved 94/95 Cobras. Good old Greer dragway with Larry. It's been a long while since I've been out there.

I miss my old 94 GT. First got it in high school and had it for a long time. Slow as hell but it was fun. Although, I'm very happy with the current car. :-D

Nice compilation vid man, looks like a fun car. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten a 94/95 cobra.

Definately. He's got a mouth on him, but really is a nice guy that will help you out anyway he can.
