Gotta correct myself - the salt flats are in Utah!
Do you think asking stupid rhetorical questions impresses me (or others)? Do you think it just might be possible that they shipped the rims and tires to Utah, then shipped 'em back home? I honestly don't know what they did with the tires/rims, parachute and whatever else they might have brought out to the flats to make this run. Does that make it less believable?
Do you really think it's that low? OK, it's a bit lower than your typical lowered street driven stang, but it's certainly not slammed. It's equipped with an
Eibach suspension (as noted below...Eibach ad). Likely, this consists of Eibachs coil-overs which are adjustable (1"-3"). Do you think it just might be possible that they adjusted the
suspension when they did the high speed runs, then adjusted it again for the rest of their trip(s)? Again, I honestly don't know what they did with the
suspension when they made these runs. But you seem hell-bent on poking holes in the story, like it could never happen. Why?
New paragraph, new argument. Is this another point you're trying to make to try to dispute my story?
As a matter of fact (though, you'll prbably try to dispute this as well) I paid exactly the same per gallon today. Sadly, I'm only getting about 17 MPG as most of my miles are in town, stop and go. With regard to "cut that mileage in half and that's what I call a compromise" - what compromise?...what do you mean by this? A compromise between what and what?
OK, enough is enough - Are you calling me a liar?
Go back a few months, maybe a year and check out the big Eibach ads in '5.0 Mustang and Super Fords' magazine. I've got the May 04 issue in my hands right now. There you'll see this 03 Mustang Cobra. Here's the caption, word for word: "A street-legal, 2003 Mustang Cobra drove from Dawsonville, GA to Utah, and then right out onto the salt, where it set a new C/PS-class record of 176.516 mph. Then it drove right back to Georgia." This is, of course, with the old configuration, before the new record setting 203+ mph run. As far as the claim that he and his wife continued on their vacation thru the midwest after these 203+mph runs, should I find the source of this story as well?
