I sold the M3 and decided I was going to get myself what I always wanted, a black cobra. I recently drove to Wisconsin to get a low milage 2003 vert and here is the first time I got to do a shoot with the car. (Btw I only own a point and shoot so these are pretty crappy pictures)

Started with this 87 fox year back: Forged 306 with a KenneBell Blowzilla/meth

Then came the Focus: Forged with Vortech Supercharger

Then the 1992 Hatch: Forged 331 with built AOD

Now my new addition, and my dream car: 2003 Cobra

I appreciate the comments, and yea perception makes the rears looks smaller. Reality is that they are all four Nitto555 285. I am looking to get 305's back there soon. How big have you seen run before rolling and modification is needed?

The profile on the front tires of the cobra with fr500s is too large.

Other than that, nice cars.

Was the vortech Focus a custom build? I thought the only supercharger they offered for the SVT Focus was the Jackson Racing one.

Yea, it is a great handling setup but the stance is a little off because of it. Large rear meats will fix that for me.

As for the focus, it was a custom build using a vortech designed for the inline 6 bmw series motors. Was a very fun way to get the most out of the engine without the piping of a turbo setup. Would do it again.

Looks like you pulled the plastidip off the wheels, granted they look better but I would definitely have a set of 18s be my FIRST mod. I wouldn't spend the cash on different size tires because they still won't look right.

AFS Reps would look stunning. GL and congrats.

They will have to do for now. I am saving up for some ccw classics or a set from true forged. That will take care of the stance!

Looks good man, nice cars! I think I remember seeing your black 5.0 with a 331 and built AOD for sale here or elsewhere.

What kind of camera do you have? Pics look horribly modified or something, because even my run of the mill point and shoot does decent.

I'm sitting in Carmel right now. Somebody come take me for a ride! I'm missing my Shelby. ;)

Great pics OP. Love the shot at the Downtown area in the background.

I am located northeast of Indianapolis. Carmel is not far at all. I did some stupid saturation on the pictures because I hated the lighting element to the shots because my point and shoot did not like the setting sun, plus it shows the colorful downtown area made for the superbowl.

Thanks for the kind words and I am very happy in my snake. Let the moding bug begin :rockon:

After seeing your custom work, I would say your car>my cobra. Keep that modified spirit as your car is Sick. Top 5 mustang ever for me. Good work :rockon:

are you still around bloomington? I went to IU there and visit all the time. This makes me want to work on suspension kits and get the IRS dialed in

That looks awesome! Nice pics.

What size front tires are you running. I have 275/35/17's in the front and they look great with 315/30/17 rears.
