Oh okay so just a few pounds difference than a 5.0. Is the gearing in a Cobra the similar to our cars?

No your transmission have ridiculous gearing in them. Your 5th gear is what a terminators 4th gear is. That is part of the reason the new coyote is so fast from the factory. I will pull it up and post it so you can see the difference.

yes sir, they are heavy... IRS is about +100-120 lbs of it, the block is a tad heavier, the blower, intercooler, etc etc... It was a heavy pig imo, but the car felt smaller and handled it's weight well... It was a fun car, I just hated the gd engine in it. Too wimpy and delicate (dont shift to fifth it could blow up, dont get it hot, pull timing after half a pull at the track) bullshit this and bullshit that... my Windsor let me kick it in the nuts every time I drove it and it got faster every month... not the same can be said with the delicate 4.slow motor... lol Miss the car, wish I had money to keep it and put a 440 inch F1 powered powerplant in it... that woulda been nice.

Here is some pics, Steve said I should post em, brings back good times...

Pebble Beach standing on the green of Spyglass... bout 2 miles from the Links course...

Good shot with it's older sibling that now is owned by a cool guy on here that put a Terminator motor in it... lmao

Sonic Blue is the best color ever produced by Ford Motor Company. DIB doesn't even compare to that color.

I would probably trade my car for a SB Terminator.

Sterling Grey FTW!

I knew 6th gear came awfully fast for a reason.

Terminator has a T56 in it, right?

right

I definitely noticed a huge difference in the way the gears wind out going from my 5 speed 01 to my 6 speed 12. I thought I had 3:73s it seemed so much quicker.

I wouldn't mind racing a 5.0 or anyone for that matter been so long... However I would need to somewhat learn to drive again. First time driving car in like 4 months or more

I'll race you in some turns lol and you would be a better race for a blown 5.0
