I dont know if anyones gonna read this, nor do I know if anyones gonna care, but I was bored yesterday while out of town with my girlfriend and we hit up an SVT ford dealer and as soon as I stepped on the lot I had a salesman pounce. He seemed like a nice guy, first thing he asked was if I showed up to check out the sale, I told him no and said I was bored, then asked where the cobras were if they had any left. He got all giddy and told me they had one inside on the floor.
I walked in and it was the green/purple color changing dealie convert with leather and whatnot. he said it had 60 miles on it, someone bought it and took it back. anyway, I checked it out, paint was beautiful, but not my style, interior was kinda what I expected, I dont like converts, but anyway, I go look under the hood and he starts askin what I drove there, starts tellin me how fast it was and how he got to drive it and it was crazy fast and was waaaay faster than my car...not like its untrue, but for all he knew I had an AGP kit in my srt and was pushin over 400hp. but I digress.
I asked him about the warranty and doing a pulley swap and stuff and this is where he got strange, this is kinda how it went.
"pulley? no man, ford designed this engine to optimal performance, you cant do any better than that, believe me, this thing is faaast, once you drive it you'll know, you wont want to try to change anything."
then I asked about the blower, and I mentioned kenne bell and whipple. he looked even more confused when he said,
"no, you cant do that, that blower ford put on there is top of the line and maxed out, ford designed the engine around that blower, you wouldn't wanna go with anything else."
I was done with engine talk at this point and asked about the new cobra and he looked kinda perplexed and said "no, they shut down the svt plants, this is the last cobra youre gonna be able to buy. in 08 they're talking about a shelby, but no more cobras, those plants are shut down." I just told him I hadn't heard that, but that I was ready to go, he then directed me to one other cobra, which was across the street, and it was lowered, silver, and had different wheels. I drove over there to find a silver 04 V6 mustang on 05 wheels, so I left.
if anyone actually read any of this crap, comments? that is all.
