    Friends car, disapointed track day

    i had a 98 GT and was in your exact situation. But i found a way to get into the 13s real easily. I sold it and bought a 97 cobra. I was real pissed with my 98 dumping all sorts of cash into it and getting nowhere. I bought my 98 for 10500 and sold it for 9700 then bought my 40 k miles cobra for 12.

    2005 SVT Cobra... if there was one (discussion)

    i think to top off the cobra styling/badges he shouldve had the cobra on the back "gas cap" looking thing. For now it says GT and i know svt wouldnt let that one by with such an easy way to throw the styling back to the classic stangs.

    emissions stuff

    thanks guys. ill give that battery disconnect strategy a try. Also, do i need to do this only if the CEL is currently on? Or do i have to do it if it was EVER on for that reason.
