E85 is no where to be found in my area but believe me, it would be a corn fed snake if we had that fuel. I believe the boost is around 18-20lbs but I have yet to get the car so I don't know. It comes with a AEM digital bandwidth and AEM fuel and boost gauge, so everything is there for monitoring. As far as exhaust goes, it has a bassani catted mid pipe with magnaflow catback. I won't track it much but you may laugh, it will be daily driven, so daily carnage will be handed out accordingly.

I will definitely run the two cars against each other but I have a feeling the top end of the cobra will rape my stage 3. Out the whole will be a whole different ball of wax
You should video that race it would be very interesting to see. Closer than you think maybe, possibly cause the Termi is a vert. Does it have the fuel line return modded, if so my money is on the TERMI FTW.

Like that pulley setup better than what I had, I had the 2.75 pulley and made 19lbs with a stock lower. Like yours better it seems better balanced if you know what I mean. I had the same exact exhaust setup the Bassani sounds so mean at WOT!

Yes it has the lethal performance return style fuel system, Fiore double fuel hat with the supercar GT pumps, and sieman deka 60lbers. Also has the Fiore fuel rails along with the brembo big brake kit upfront It is not a 10th Anniversary though.

I say the first thing you do is take the supercharger off and get measurements and figure out how to make it fit on the E55 with maybe some new runners or someting or see if it would not work. Then we can all just start buying Mustang Superchargers and mod them to fit!

Hey Craig- Thanks for posting the new ride. Real sweet. Thanks for turning me on to Buckhead Imports. Greg got my E63 set up two weeks ago. Great people. I know what you mean about the Stang being looked at as exotic from South Africa. I lived in New Zealand for a number of years and a Mustang over there was a real big deal.
The car looks like it could get the new super speeder ticket just standing still !!!
Enjoy. StevieG

Now that you aren't getting it, I'd say it's for the best. Some MAJOR reinforcements would be needed to keep that car solid with the Convertible aspect working against it. I don't think I've ever seen a worn-in V6 SN-95/SN-99 Mustang Vert that isn't loosening up. I'd stick with a Coupe for a Mustang (much better looking too IMO, and much better resale once the years and/or mileage get up, especially to the performance models).

Get a Cobra R! That car has given me wet dreams since 2000. Man would that be a showstopper to have.

I ended up working out the deal in the end for the monster vert, can't wait. I am from Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world. The two red dots I inserted is my high school, lots of eye candy for the fella's

No sir, not at the coast. Inland will drop below freezing at night and back up to 55-60. Cape Town is usually around 50-60 at night, and days are 60-70* Summer months are over 100*

I heard there is a lot of crime and a huge split in the population. As in either you are wealthy or extremely poor.

That's kind of the case around much of Europe too.
