Picked up a "new" car tonight!

[michelle]

Tucked it away in the garage just before the storm came.

1994 Cobra with 44k miles. Black interior. Super, super clean. Completely stock as far as I can tell, which I will take as a plus because people like to hack things up and spray paint with bedliner and take their car offroad and put stickers all over it.

[DurtyKurty]

I've got a supercharger for that I'll sell you for a good price. :-)

Nice car btw. Good to see you get one that is correct wheel drive.

[Wagonbacker9]

Its not a SHO. I don't know what to say.

[03Seville]

Looks great!

[michelle]

Its not a SHO. I don't know what to say.

No worries, I still have four SHOs. Well hopefully go down to three soon. (:

[Reverend Cooper]

gonna paint red stripes on it and give it a awesome ssssuper scoop

[jbiscuit]

Sell all the SHOs and get more mustangs!

[michelle]

That's just crazy talk!

[88Nightmare]

this.


Seriously though, get the cobra R 5 spoke wheels for it.

[-stew-]

I have nothing interesting or relevant to say about this.

[Irish]

This!

I vote for 18x9 / 18x10.5 chrome saleens since wheels were brought up!

[88Nightmare]

Do not do this.

Those factory style cobra wheels for that year just don't do it for me. Too bulky looking. I like the leaner look of the cobra r 5 spoke

[Prince Valiant]

good kill....

what makes a cobra a cobra for those years?

my vote on wheels would be some torq-thrust-D knock off, or something similar to the "Bullitt" wheels....


Plans to mod it at all? Gears and be done with it? Try your hand at drag racing again?

[BOSS LX]

nice car

[88Nightmare]

good kill....

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but for appearance: hood, front bumper, and rear bumper with cobra embossed in it, and wheels.

Factory GT of that year had 215hp, 240hp variant was in the cobra. Also, different brakes and stiffer suspension I believe.

[srt4eh]

nice car :)

[blackmage]

nice pick up!

Regarding the SN-95 hoods, the Cobra hood is exactly the same as the the GT in 94' and 95' with the exception of the 95' Cobra R hood. The 96-98 Cobra's received a dual nostril hood w/ a small bump to clear the massive 4V they stuffed in there.

hood was the same as the v6 and GT's. the intake manifold was different, computer was tuned differently.

[blackmage]

also the COBRA rear bumper wasn't until 96 also

[Irish]

The heads were different too.

[SSDude]

Nice car. Welcome to real wheel drive.

[Waver]

That car looks rather clean. Good buy. All it really needs is a little suspension work and some stickier tires.

Also has the 160mph speedo, FR500 steering wheel although I think that was an option, bigger brakes like stated above among other things I cant remember.

Theres also a site to log onto (ill try and find) and get the certificate from SVT along with the full option list.

If memory serves mine is #514 or something like that

[-stew-]

The car needs to be left stock.





Or it needs full exhaust and the entire Maximum Motorsports catalog thrown at it.

I prefer syrup. No wait, that's something else...

[jbiscuit]

So cool stock but gotta be tempting to mod it

[STANMAN]

Looks great, just like you said. So, when do I get to drive a car of yours for once?

[michelle]

Looks great, just like you said. So, when do I get to drive a car of yours for once?

You drove my 2001 Taurus before! Surely you didn't forget such an opportunity!

[73MACH]

Awesome car!!! Change wheels, lower, susp., 2006 Envoy fog light mod, supercharger, longtubes, maybe a few other things. Isn't there supposed to be a SVT badge on the drivers side of the trunk???? Damn I miss my cobra.......

[kevcuda]

Cute

[2006wrxtr]

Nice Car!!
The 94'-95' Cobras have the GT40 engine, So The GT40 intake and Heads and the computer is different.
Also has the 13" Cobra front brakes.... Now if I wouldn't be spraying bed liner or any other such things
if I had this. Never seen me do anything odd to any of my Mustangs. As far as mods, Strim, longtubes,
and some handling bits....

[wrath]

So is this the slowest car you own now?

[Waver]

Kenne Bell
Long Tubes
Mid-pipe
Lowered

Done.

KBs are nice, however I can think of a few other combos that would get the car into the low 11's.

However, something tells me that Michelle will set the car up for road racing, so suspension, exhaust, heads and cam would be of more benefit than a blower.

[STANMAN]

You drove my 2001 Taurus before! Surely you didn't forget such an opportunity!

This=true. I mean a non daily driver, lol. Your car and Patty should do a shoot with Johnny.

Since you have never ran a blower, I am assuming you are speaking from 2nd hand experience.

I suggested a blower because it was a good deal and would be easier than H/C/I to install, not because its the most efficient power adder. If that were the case, I would have suggested an On3 70mm turbo kit for cheap, efficient horsepower.

[michelle]

Planning on Blackhawk in August! (:

[bikedad]

If you are looking to get different wheels here's where I got mine from. Sometimes they have clearance sales. I paid $60 apiece for my 17x10.5 Cobra R's shipped.
Their regular prices are not bad. They are knock-offs but great quality.

[OxmanWI]

Looks good, nice Mustang! :D

[-stew-]

There is no excuse for cobra r's on any car. ever.

[Irish]

There is no excuse for cobra r's on any car. ever.

Yeah, no.

[bikedad]

I guess I'll have to sell mine then. :(

Naw. :D

[Irish]

Naw. :D

I would keep em' unless you went with ccw classics!

[88Nightmare]

Why?

[Poncho]

new car looks awesome. I've always been a sucker for SN95's

[-stew-]

Why?

Just don't like them. Played out.

[-stew-]

Yeah, no.

Yeah, yeah.

[michelle]

So anyways, I like my new car.

[Poncho]

Michelle, do you have any plans for wheels/tires? I like the fact that American Muscle has a lot of modern fitments for the older generations like your new one.

What's the preliminary plan for the car in general?

[michelle]

Keep it stock for now. Exhaust, suspension, and track wheels at some point.

[Poncho]

Very cool.

Congrats again on the new purchase, a new car purchase no matter the age is always exciting, especially if it's something you've wanted.

[michelle]

After 15 SHOs, it was time to "upgrade" a little bit. Strange to think I may not buy another SHO.

[Prince Valiant]

Strange to think I may not buy another SHO.
Actually, it's perfectly normal.

[michelle]

Y'all are missing out.

[bikedad]

So anyways, I like my new car.


Sorry Michelle. Didn't mean for your thread to get jacked.
The Mustang is nice. Have fun with it. :shades

[Prince Valiant]

I call first race.

[EvolvedRegal]

How come in this picture the cobra emblem is not there?

[Irish]

How come in this picture the cobra emblem is not there?

94-95 didn't have it. It's a 4V modular thing!

----edit----

Apparently no 94-98 or 99-04 SVT Cobra had the cobra grill emblem from the factory. It didnt show up on a Cobra until the 2007 Shelby.

[EvolvedRegal]

Hmm, mine has it and it's a 1994. Wonder if it was put on by the last owner.

[michelle]

What emblem?

[Irish]

It was put on by the last owner.

100% truth!

[Wagonbacker9]

What emblem?

Assuming the cobra in the front grill openeing.

That must be a extremely common mod, or dealer option then, because I remember seeing that on a lot of them.

[Irish]

I would say its as common as Cobra R's and Flowpasters!

[Waver]

Since you have never ran a blower, I am assuming you are speaking from 2nd hand experience.Yeah, you are right.....In 92 the thunderbird SC had a fake supercharger.....For that matter, you have?

All sarcasm aside, you are right, that combo that you posted would be an efficient way to make power if it was going to be used on the street or on the drag strip primarily. However, most people who regularly track their car, like Michelle, dont usually add any kind of FI to their track car (unless you are Michelle).

Now back on topic.....is one of the plans for the car a trip to Clocks Off? I know of a few guys running that year Cobra and doing rather well in autocross/track events with nothing more than suspension, gears, cage, exhaust, and a cai!

[-stew-]

So much butthurt in this thread...

[Irish]

Yeah, you are right.....In 92 the thunderbird SC had a fake supercharger.....For that matter, you have?

Here ya go again worrying about what I have... Don't worry about it. :)

It wasn't a fake super charger, it was just tiny.

The KB would be just fine for autocross.. 03/04 cobra ring a bell?

Yes, it does and that came from the factory s.c.'d. Goes back to what i was saying.........how many kenny bell powered 03 cobras are running autocross?

[Irish]

Your post makes no sense to me for the most part.

Didn't Ford design the Terminator for the road course and the Mach 1 for the strip? (This question is rhetorical, I know the answer.)

So when are you and I going to race?

[crazyhorse]

Nice looking clean cobra you got. 15 sho's geez :)

[Wagonbacker9]

Anyone else notice how michelle is ironically one of a few people on here who doesn't act like a complete girl?

Since you fail to see what I was saying in the two prior posts, I will put it this way......Unless it came with F.I from the factory, most people dont add it to their track car. IE you wont see a 911 GT3 RS with turbos or a supercharger on the track, however you will see plenty 997 turbos and NA GT3 RS on the track. As far as your other question, we can set up something via pm or what ever, but not here. Now, enough trashing her thread.


Back on topic, I hope you enjoy it at Blackhawk, should be a lot of fun!

I sold the supercharger off my 1990 SHO this year. It took complete "reliability" away - only put a few good miles on it on the street and two track events (one GLD and one at Autobahn). It was a learning experience that I don't regret, but I will happily keep that car N/A.

Well I will say, it was a cool addition to the SHO. So are you retiring the SHO for now or is the Cobra going to be an "all around" car?

A debate/conversation about cars, in a car thread, in a car forum... Oh the humanity!!! Lulz

Shrug

[Reverend Cooper]

so what kinda tranny she got

[2006wrxtr]

For Autocross and Road Coarse The car makes plenty of HP/TQ to be fun. Adressing the Handling and braking, would be my primary
concerns.
As far as FI for Track or Autocross not many people do it. I ran my Strim Fox in Autocross a few times with the Strim and Mickey Thompson
Drag Radials. It was fun but not all that fast. was faster with the NA 347 and regular tires, running the whole course in 3rd.. :-)
+100 on the MM catalog thrown at it..

One, Your MAN-CAR card has been revoked due to the destruction of the Subaru.

And if you know anything you should understand its not about power in autocross but how you use the car to its fullest potential. Its not a fucking drag race.


now back to the thread, Any plans on taking it down to Miller park for some WIA or Milwaukee regional SCCA? It would be nice to see some more rear wheel drive down here so I didn't have to work 2 heats watching cones.

[Irish]

MOAR details!!! :)

[michelle]

I'm not much for cones, but the hubz used to do that when I met him. And then I introduced him to the road course and no more cones.... (:

But I suppose I never gave it much of a chance, so I might be open to that discussion.

[Gregor]

I think you need to give it one more try. Its fun to feel the rear end of the car want to get sideways while you are tying to do 90 degree turns at 35mph. Plus its cheaper than a weekend at RA.

I know a few that did their shakedown runs at SCCA and then assaulted RA, Gingerman and Blackhawk farms..


We should get a BCM group together.

Welcome to the world of non-cult cars. I had my world blown open similarly when I bought the camaro.

[Poncho]

lol, I know that feeling.

This was the bed in my office about three weeks yet before my car was delivered last year.

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/290951_10151166975487953_1626849069_o.jpg

I eventually ran out of space, as I didn't have space for the rest of the suspension stuff, the California Special grilles or the foglights and the tuner.
Even over the winter my office housed my new wheels.

Good luck, part of Mustang ownership.
That being said, goodbye wallet.
