Holy Crap! Do you know what it runs in the quarter?

Ya...... But does it have fuzzy dice?

Really... sweet car. Did you sell or trade your S197?

No I have no idea Joshua, He has never had it raced, rained on, nor dynoed.

Mid-High 11s 1/4 mile is an estimate and 475-495RWHP on a conservative 91 octane tune

paul, the first "mod" I do to it was going to be the fuzzy dice!!!

No haven't traded it in, still have it. Actually this weekend when I get back in town I'm showing it to another party, they seem interested so we will see.

Thats sweet Chris! Congrats! Cant wait to see her in person. What did you give for the cobra if you dont mind me asking?

Im a big fan already, gives me ideas for mine. I want to hear it sometime. Was considering the X-pipe for mine. I already have the magnaflows.

Nice Ride

Jerry... did the seal go in ok?

Thanks alot David!!

He was asking $28,000 but we talked and I'm paying $25,500 for it.

Wow. Sounds like you got a great deal. The car looks like it was maintained very well. Cant wait to see it.

WOW nice ride!!! Beautiful!!! Going to have to see this in person SOOOOON


Paul...Jerry had the wrong size seal...everyone was closed so we will have to finish it tomorrow.

Arrrghhh.

Yes....some goofball gave him the Tranny seal instead of the 9.75 rear diff seal

Thanks bro. I'm anxious to hear it as well. I really like the o/r X and Borla Cat Back set up for the Termis so if I doon't like it..that is what I will be doing.

Thanks Jarrod!! I will have it in town soon enough!

I love those cobras. I just cant believe they never fixed the whining problem under the hood. Idler Pully i suppose.

Seriousy good looking Ride Chris...Much better than Jerry's Cobra...

I know, wonder what that could be? Haha, Thanks for all the nice comments guys!!

Oh, Jerry's is super clean and nice! too! I've never seen a SB Cobra running around town. We might have to meet up sometime and terrorize the streets together

Thanks for the compliment thou Jarrod!!

Your Grabber Orange has gotta be one of the nicest I have seen

timeout, did I misunderstand that or does it have a solid rear axle.....

But that looks sick! Ill have to see it sometime soon, maybe swing it by the house sometime or meet you out on the road!

If you do that, I may help you offset the cost and buy the old x-pipe from you.

Yeah, most definitely have to do that sometime. If we go out to West Tulsa, I have a friend thats in law enforcement out there that can help keep us out of trouble. :biggrin:

Sweet, I will keep you updated if I do switch the exhaust.

Chris, if you really want some technical info, check out the Terminator section of ModularFords.com, they're the best site hands down for tech stuff. Their supporting vendors are top notch as well.....excellent costumer service.

BTW that car looks awesome. I love the painted valve covers. Like I said over on DH, if you want to get rid of those speedhut guages let me know!! Also I'd be interested in hearing how it sounds with the setup you have now. I have Bassani catted x and Bassani catback, I always wondered what other setups would sound like. Maybe when you get it we can hit the track together or something over at Noble.

Chris, what a sweet ride!!!! I wish I had one sitting in my garage!!!!

nice chris! oh, and i hate you. haha. jk.
