[QUOTE="HEMI LOL, post: 11579560, member: 100034"] i grew up in a chevy dealership. after selling my M3 i wanted to go back to my muscle car roots and looked at F bodies/GTOs. after not finding anything i really liked, i decided to go rouge(for my family) and look at 03-04 cobras. surely they are the best mustang ever right? WRONG. i describe them as an AMAZING engine that is punished by being bolted to the fox platform. i almost bought an 03 red fire with the usuals 2.76, OR X magna packs ect. but outside of it being fast in a straight line(which was epic, don't get me wrong) i didn't like the car overall. the interior is just, shameful at best. the car just feels cheap. so depressed a friend told me to look at S197s. i always liked the look and figured what the hell. i drove a stock car and yes, stock they aren't balls to the wall fast. but i wouldn't call them slow per say. the stock tune is neutered like crazy. but the chassis is great, the ride is great the interior is top notch. i liked it. even it being down 100 some odd HP to the cobra. you're getting a better rear end with 31 splines, a better tranny, better clutch and a MUCH better suspension. i snagged my 07 back in march of 10. haven't looked back since. stock i went 13.41@104, and through various stages of mods the car is a hoot to drive. you can make decent power NA, but the 3v loves boost even if its rods don't. I'm putting a paxton on mine next month and expect 440 ish on 8psi, not inter cooled. i won't intercool it or up the boost until i build a forged motor on the side. not bad if you ask me. the car weighs in right at 3500lbs. the 3v makes more power per psi then the 4vs mach or cobra. the head flow great within a few CCs of the might 4v. they make great torque and with gears they move out pretty good. I've got 4.10s and have more than kept up with a few local LSx cars. i say go for it. lower it, get some LCAs and put a 3k paxton on it and go piss people off. the 3v gets so little respect it so much fun when you beat up on a mach 1 or NA cobra.
