Picked up my 03 Mineral Gray cobra last week. Car has a magnaflow catback, filter, and a 2.93 pulley. I bought the car like that and put it on the dyno the day I got it to check air/fuel ratios out. IT must have a tune, since the a/f graph was spot on. Nice having a dyno at your convenience. (work at a performance shop)

So far, I did the MGW shifter today. Definately a big improvement over the stock shifter. Im excited to start adding some new mods to the car. Im switching over from the volkswagen world. My last vw made 712whp so not new to power. But anyways, heres some pictures I took. Let me know what
you think. Oh, and some pictures of my old vw.

And the vw. All fab work was done by myself. I work as the fabricator at my shop and do a lot of tig welding, etc.

Nice Cobra, you picked the best color too!!! :) I just think you can't beat the sound of a nice v8. Especially with a blower on it.

Pretty sick VW you had there. Must have been a crazy ride with that much HP in it.

Nice color!

You should come out to the MACA GTG on 6/13 right near you in Hillendale. We are hoping to have 100+ Cobras there and there are a handful of MGs.

So you work at Tempest racing? I was out there not to long ago for a dyno tune (lund)

Looks like a winner. I didn't know you could stuff a Garrett the size of a watermelon under the hood of a VW, sick car:rockon:
