I try my best, real nice though if that's yours

The most depressing fad in America right now is everyone suping up these massive diesel trucks called smokers, you can probably hear them now yelling over the sound of the gigantic turbo talking about how hot their cousin is. Look it up on youtube, that's what I have to look at every day. Picture this, I'm accelerating from a stop light,I look over, every one is looking at the truck behind me saying, sounds good. Now I'm an avid gun owner, because let's not beat around the Bush,I like to put holes in things, but it makes me want to eat a bullet. Just you better hope that it doesn't "make it across the pond"

Ta, only fettling so far is a minor adjustment to boost bypass valve and clean up the fuel mapping

How much boost are you running and what engine? We don't have those here, at least I've never seen one. Oh and what the Hell is that?

I understand now, my bad, I thought you were trying to go fast not drifto style. Nowt wrong with that, a bit envious you have the empty roads to do it.

America is a driver's paradise, I'm 28 and on my 11th car, we live in them, my cousins I'd never met before, drove out from utah a few years ago it took them 4 days, I've heard you can make it in three if you drive in shifts. I spend on average about 2 hours in the car every day. That's to and from work and to the market and back. That is why cars mean so much to Americans. Even the homeless live out their cars. Your not truly poor unless you have no ride.

On a lighter note the reason I bought a cobra is they are about as rare as a lambo here. I cannot stop at a gas station without someone saying something.when I saw it I knew if I didn't buy it I might not get another chance. At the east coast cobra shoe last year, the biggest this side.There were only 37 present not including mine. I missed the deadline lol. That being said I'm pretty sure I'm going to debadge it, I've seen cops about break their necks looking at it and we now exist in a police state where the cops carry ar15s and wear combat armor for traffic stops, Canada is looking better every min.

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

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
