I was only lashing out at the fools that responded earlier. I'm sure you're right. However...there was still no reason to throw courtesy and respect out the window just because you are ignorant about the subject matter. Man...there are fewer grownups on this board than I thought.
I'm a 48 yr old who will not go out of his way to prove anything to anybody...screw them...but you youngsters need to know that there are some driving sons o' bitches out there that aren't afraid of a screaming V8 on a canyon road somewhere...and they are serious as a heart attack while doing it!
So whatever fella's. I think my blood pressure is back down now....flame on!
I'm in Orange Couty my friend...a long drive from you...especially all the way in 4th gear...
had that problem once
i once got a check engine light while flying down the highway (not racing or anything ) and the check engine light came on. every few days or so it would turn back off, and then repeat the process, off and on. i had the code checked, turned out it was the IMRC. it was simply old and covered with crap from high mileage... (car had about 115k miles at that point) had it replaced, everything was fine. gave me a chance to clean the intake as well. 
as to the issue of driving at high RPM's, like others have said, drive it however the heck you want to.
furthermore, i personally dog my Cobra on a daily basis. (yes, my 1998 cobra is my Daily Driver). it has about 156,000 miles on it. all original. stock innards on the motor. completely rebuilt suspension.
these cars were built to be driven hard. if i didnt want a car i could redline at will on a daily basis at 150,000 miles and still kick a$$, i would have bought a chevy. and we all know cobras (and gt's for that matter) reach peak powers in the high RPM's. just my two cents.

You never said anything about autox in this post. Right here you make it sound like you are driving around town at 4-5kRPM's.
YOU'RE the one that came back with an attitude, so YOU need to chill out. You state in a later post that you're a 48 yr old. So far YOU'RE the one acting like a "kid". People got on here concerned about the rpm's you were running and you flame them? If you're not prepared to deal with a couple dumb a$$ comments here and there, then get off this bbs. Not to mention the fact that you come into another mustang fourm and start bagging on other stang owners. Real grown up.
Tell ya what, Richard Petty, pack your bags and go over to the SVT boards and post your high and mighty 4v
crap over there and see how far it gets you. ibtl

PI 2V = teh lose, to put it in terms the kids understand these days. 225-230 rwhp stock, against 255-260 rwhp stock. I'm sure lots of folks will want to bust out the old anecdotes about their friend who went from a roll on the interstate, or their brother who raced one yada yada yada...
I'm not saying I never happens, I'm saying that it happens in a minority of cases, and a 30 rwhp advantage by the 4V cannot be ignored.

hey man i wouldn't go and piss people off, u came to us for help and advice. its funny but none of us go around and run our cars at 4-5000 do we. so r u telling me that u drive ure car between 4-5000 rpms in turns for extended periods of time? what roads do u drive on? i wanna go there and see how my car handles. what a tool.
Jesus guys its not like he came to the best site for tech on the internet anyway.
The light is probably caused by heat. Your cooling system cannot keep up with the heat generated from extended high rpm's. Try flushing it out and maybe a cooler stat.
Whoever said that 99PI>96-98 4V doesnt have any buisness posting in any tech site.
BTW www.modulardepot.com is a tech place not here.

Agreed...I offer my apologies to all...seriously. I think my blood-sugar was low.
BTW...there are a ton of GTs that can kick my a$$ in a straight line drag race. My car is by no means a race car. The driver, however, is a 'child'.
Flame on.

Do the rest of us 4v'ers a favor and go drive your car off a cliff, you're an idiot.
I bet the next thread you'll post will be something like 'When I run my 4v at 6500+ rpm for 25 minutes straight it startes to melt things.. why is this?'
I think you should be driving a Honda bro.
