Just a couple of shots I took at PRS this year and one from 06. I'm the king of procrastination. Always seem to have one other project to work on before posting.

Re: Critters you find in the sand
540? Wow! I thought 380 was a handful! How do you keep the rubber attached to the road? A friend of mine had an 80's mustang with a supercharger, claimed 520 on a dyno. Kept trying to race me and everytime he'd go up in smoke.
I just got rid of the Mustang (was only a V-6 commuter car) to get a Mini-S for the kid to drive. Almost as much fun to drive as the Vette!

Now don't get me wrong... I don't street race and I ain't goin balls to the wall when I drive the thing. It's a fun ride - and occationally I'll stretch her legs - but I don't play stupid.
OK - pic time. I likes showin my baby off
The car
The business end

Re: Critters you find in the sand
That's a very sharp ride you've got there. Don't know how well that would fit in with Hot August Nights here in Reno, but the peeps here would sure love to see it anyway. I've yet to process my pics from AutoExotica...but your Mustang would have been right at home here for that show.

Re: Critters you find in the sand
Sweet car Mark. That is a big hair dryer on there.
Next time you are due for new rubber take a look at the M/T Street Radial. They are sticky but I don't think you will hold that thing down with any street tire anyway.

Re: Critters you find in the sand
Wow, that's a very, very nice Mustang you've got there, Mr. Cobra. You've put a lot of time and money into that piece, it's obvious. Sounds like you've got all the good stuff in there.
Tell me, have you had it on a drag strip and if so, what did it run? Can you get those Drag Radials to hook with all that HP? It looks like you'd have to have a lot of know how just to work on it-I don't think I'd know where to start. I'm guessing this is one of those cars that you tune with a lap top. I much prefer the older cars, like the ones with distributors and carburetors and stuff like that, but then I'm an old fart anyway. I like to be able to see the spark plugs in my motors. I do my tuning with a timing light and carb jet changes.
It would be an interesting match race between your new technology Mustang and my son's '69 Camaro with a Pat Musi 555 big block. He pulls it out of his garage, drives it to the drag strip in Englishtown, NJ, runs 10.30's @ 125 mph, then drives it back home. Motor only, no nitrous. Only thing he does is remove the spare tire and some tools from the trunk before he pulls up to the line. I love Fords, and even I'm impressed by that car. He does drive it on the street occasionally, and has even calculated that it costs him $1.00 per minute to drive it. Needless to say, he doesn't drive it very far.
