You suck.In a good way.The original 427 and a '51(chopped of course) Mercury are my 2 dream cars.At this point,I settle for a replica Cobra.At least it's Ford powered.

P.S. Does your wife have any cute sisters?

A friend of my dads is getting one of these built. The chassis and body are being made by ERA and we are putting in the engine. It's getting a 428 BB with about 700hp, can't wait until we get the car here.

The way I have mine set-up I'm at about 500hp. My car is only 1800 pounds and let me tell you if your not alert this car can get away from you.. I can only imagine what 700hp can do..

Pretty nice. From the picture it looks 4lug. My guess is that it's just running stock Fox body crap. You really should upgrade to sn95 parts and 13" cobra brakes. Power is nothing if you can't stop it.


Its a good start thought

Sweet. A buddy of mine has a kit that had me fooled for about the first 5 minutes (that's how long it took me to walk across the street and introduce myself when I moved into my old house) - I thought it was the real deal, and I'm hard to fool when it comes to Cobras. As much as I like them, I'm dead set on getting myself a Daytona Coupe kit. It is, in my humble opinion, a much sexier looking car, but it owes it's very existance to the Cobra, and the Cobra is nothing to sneeze at. As for you. You are a lucky man. You have a wonderful (I'm certain) wife, and now you can drive her around in a damn fine car.

500 horse out of a 302 with a .311 lift cam? Hmmmm, typo I'm guessing.

Anyway, I love the car!! I have always wanted one of those if I could afford it. Pretty much the only car I'd want to own. I'll have to settle for my Bronco though.
Looks great and congrats. Treat that lady well.
