Names Joe (go figure lol), and I'm here like most everyone else tryin to keep my swirly, salty, chipped, quickly depreciating pride & joy from looking that way. :lol:

My "fun" car is a 95 Cobra. It has a forged 347 (bored/stroked 302) with the appropriate supporting mods. It also has a built drivetrain (good for ~600hp), road race style suspension, and nice compliment of gauges to monitor everything.

My other car is my daily driver. Its an Acura CL Type-S 6 speed. Pretty standard luxury options (heated seats, 6 cd changer, etc). It has 260hp & a limited slip diff, so its at last a little fun. I've done lowering springs/struts, window tint, and 19" wheels.

I sold my 94 GT to a coworker, flew down to Florida, bought the Cobra & drove it home. I got it the week of dreamcruise. :)

I know you had talked about painting the red one. I did not pay attention that you got rid of it for the black one though. LOL

I will have to get with you in a year when my F-150 lease is up. I am really leaning toward a Mustang or 300c. The Musatng will be cheaper. LOL

If its replacing the F150 go with the 300C, a mustang has literally zero utility, whereas at least the 300C has a real back seat.

BTW thanks for the nice comments ;)

Nice rides Joe. Bob you can get the 300C with the bentley grill or just go for the SRT-8 and play with mustangs. Well let me say most stock mustangs. Trying not to step on anyones toes. :wink:

Well, the only downside I see is that the 300c's are a little high in price than I want to pay. Maybe by the time I am ready they will have some sweet lease deals or something. LOL
