Undecided if I want to drive mine or tow it. Figured it would be fun to drive it if there's a decent group that wanted to drive down together. What's everyone planning??
Who is driving / towing there cars to mustang week this year
- Thread starter aarons04cobra
- Start date
I drove my car down for many many years, just started towing it the last few. I tow it to NC and drive it the rest of the way. The main reason is CT and NY roads really suck, and I do not want to risk damaging the car driving it through those states lowered, fully loaded with a weeks worth of luggage, tools, ez-up, coolers, ect. It is tight packing all that in the car and driving 14+ hrs straight down there. Your wife/ GF will thank you for towing it. I know mine does. Plenty of room in the truck for her to sleep while I drive.
It is so much better towing it the majority of the way and driving it the last 3-4 hrs. Also the piece of mind, that if something were to break and not be able to fix it while down there, I have a truck only a few hrs away and I can get it home.
I've had my share of fixes down there, changing rear brake pads in the hotel parking lot at 9 o clock at night the night before leaving to drive home, swapping the alternator in the show field parking lot, ect. You can never be too prepared. The heat does a number on your car down there.
P.S. I always bring a few extra FRPS because those are known to go bad with the extra heat. I've helped out fellow cobra owners numerous times with them.

Next time I go it will not be driven haha
I trailered mine last year and will be doing the same this year.
I was going to trailer my car down because the roads in the northeast suck.. I don't even think my car will be ready by then though.
Lol oh yea... I was there for both of those repairs lmao... Nothing like swapping an alt in the show field in 100 degrees with everyone watching haha.
I have driven mine down since 2010. Trying to tow it this year myself. May end up driving anyway
Drove mine three years ago, trailered the past two. I'll never drive again. It's so comfortable to drive in the truck and to have plenty of room. Plus my other buddies who always drive always load tools/wheels/luggage in the truck and it's always been very useful.
I will officially be towing mine
I'm going to try to take a nap after work and leave late Friday night.
I leave between 5-6 Friday night and drive straight thru. Get down there around 10 am to beat the change over traffic.
Looking for when people are leaving. We usually leave early Sunday morning like 2am
I leave at 11 pm Friday. Never hit traffic going down. Drove my 2011 lowered 5.0 last year. And holy hell, CT, NY, NJ have worst roads ive ever driven on. Pretty sure at one point I caught air driving on the turnpike cause I hit a cluster of giant bumps. But, Ill be driving my 03 cobra down this year. Hoping for the best lol.
I agree with you 100%. Good luck, see you down there!!
The crappy roads of CT, NY, and NJ are the exact reason I started towing my car to NC and driving the rest of the way. No need damaging my car just trying to drive it down there.
I'm following chris down this year and will also officially be towing mine. we are leaving Friday night "15th"
