We dont need no stinken blower i want to see ford work on N/A engines, that way when the Chevy Turds get shat on they cant say, Well if i had a supercharger. SHUT UP BITCH you bought the wrong car. But i also dont think its a good idea for the cobra to go after the vette.

Its strange that this thread was made, because I was just in my neighbors cobra yesterday for the first time. It's a four speed with a dark interior with circular side mirrors. The mirror in the middle was close to the dashboard.

Unfortunately, we have to drive 80+ miles to find those kind of roads in the video, so we had to take the 25mph police infested roads. At times, we went around 100mph, and I must say, the machine is amazing.

I also found it strange that the meter only had a 600-800RPM limit.

That machine makes an incredible noise . I love cars like the Cobra that just look and sound as though they want to rip you limb from limb when you accelerate
There was one at a toll plaza in NJ when we were passing through, and it just drowns out EVERYTHING in the area.

yeah that's a x10 tach instead of a x100 or x1000 tach depending on the manufacturer that's nothing new. they say in the center most of the time what style it is.

nope, I definitely seen a 600-800 RPM limit. I guess it was just a strange gauge.

T-Bird, we wrote our posts at the same time, so I couldnt read your other one.

Anyway, that x10 tach makes sense since that low RPM reading would seem erroneous.
