9ish psi. It is a Chevy LSA in a Vauxhall VXR8 GTS. You would know the base car as a Pontiac G8, but it is really a Holden Commodore fettled by HSV. It put down 476 to the ground before I remapped it, but haven't re-tested it since.

My buddy has a gto 06 that is currently undergoing a twin turbo mod

We have a lad over here who is TT'ing his Monaro (GTO). No expense spared. He is looking for 200 at the half mile! He is a Jumbo Pilot so a bit of a speed freak!

I'm visiting a friend in Atlanta for a couple of weeks soon, looking forwards to going for a drive on the mountain roads.

Couldn't find a company that would rent anything interesting and American for reasonable money though so ended up going with Mercedes/BMW. Would have liked a Corvette/Charger/Mustang V8, but hey we're either unavailable, very expensive or could not guarantee the model.

That sounds about right, the true appeal of the muscle cars were that they "were " cheap you were kind of expected to mod them and make them your own. That's kind of been lost lately,I test drive a new mustang gt last year and waa not impressed

Have you actually driven anywhere else?

I've driven from Boston to Sacramento, down the east coast and turn right just before Florida, and staying off the big routes as far as possible. Yes, including Blue Ridge.

There's the odd really nice bit, but there's a HELL of a lot of "Oh, go(o)d. Only 200 miles until, well, nothing at all."

That's why I said it's a driver's paradise, because you had better like to drive a lot lol, you have no choice

Nice looking Cobra.

Reminds me of my old '03 GT. Never did handle very well.

Nice,260 hp and exactly the reason mustang get a bad name. To get the suspension and power you have to do it yourself out pay to get a special model like a cobra, always the fastest super charger that year, or a saleen, best handling and aerodynamics, or a rouch for a little bit of both, the list goes on. Though you could purchase a saleen with a nascar race engine (rare) that put down about 800 hp

I know of a couple people with 2003 cobras putting about 1400 to the ground on the original cast iron block (wep) that's why they call those year terminators cause wtf
