04 Cobra finally running good.

thats a hell of a long time, but better late then never right

Nice car. Not a fan of the color combo but who cares when you have 700hp?

Yea, Ive taken a break on it a couple of times. The key was to make the car run reliably at that power level. Throwing the right parts at it to deal with the increased power, so nothing is being overly stressed. Runs at that power level as good as the day it came from the factory.

good numbers! have fun with it now...i know how you feel it took me a while to get mine where it is

Nice, Ive been looking a termies for a while. Whats your setup?

Not a huge mustang fan but this may go up in my exception catagory...Clean ride congrats!

very nice numbers :thumbsup:

I'd also like to know what your setup is

Big ticket items: Whipple 2.3 supercharger with 23 #s boost. Crower stage 3 cams. The engine is rebuilt as of 8K miles ago. Car now has 16K miles on the clock. Bottom end is still stock (Termis have stout bottom ends), but I did have to build up the top end to be able to safely take that amount of boost. The Terminators are good cars. Getting 430-450 rwhp doesn't take much and they are coming down in prices now. Plus they have been out long enough that the recipe for power is out there. When I started messing with this one they were still new and people were painfully finding out there limitations. I melted 4 pistons in it the first year I had it, which was the reason for the rebuild.

Good lawd. I like that shit. I'm going to have to come by your work just to check out your car.

Nah I always drive the Chevy S-10 to work. Have to catch me out at In N Out in San Marcos on Friday nights or some other spot to catch me in the cool cars. Only bring them out on the weekends. I'll be in the sandbox in November though. P.M. sometime and we can go for a ride.

You go to In N Out at San Marcos? I always cruise by that place whenever I'm bored and shit around Pendleton. I'll be sure to stop by or hit you up once I get back Stateside...should only be a few more weeks.

gotta put this in auto talk....

Wow, nice numbers man.

fast car

on a motorbike...perhaps....sir? haha

Yea we usually will meet up in Escondido at the Round Table. Cruise Grand until 8:30 PM or so then head to the In N Out. Just something to do to give me an excuse to take the cars out. Been driving this one more as of late because its finally running like it should. Hopefully you get out here soon, I have to start taking cars back to Vegas. Thats where I keep them when deployed. Dad watches them for me, makes sure they go around the block once a month or so. Think this one is going back in a couple of weeks, then the Z06 in October. Yes I have an obsession with cars.

A little OT here, but why do they call that model of Cobra the terminator? I see it on the Cobra forums all the time but dont know the reasoning behind it.
Nice numbers by the way. I have always been a GM fan more than the blue oval but I would take a Cobra in a heartbeat.

Kick Ass car fo sho
