So I finally made up my mind and decided to jump into a 32v mustang. Although the Bullitt has always appealed to me, I've always wanted a 32v motor and what better than to have the sexiness of a white sn95, with a Saleen's appearance, and a cobra's performance! Sooooo..I opted for the best of both worlds and picked up a 1998 Cobra Faleen. Its pretty much stock with 4:30 gears, genuine Saleen kit and wheels, Borla Saleen exhaust, Recaro seats, MM lower control arms, a laundry list of maintenance (ie: Remanufactured heads by Ford dealer, clutch, rack and pinion, etc.)
I "plan" to keep this one in the family for a while...my wife said "I actually like this one," so I think it'll be hard to let it go ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Let me know what you think ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Yea, when we hooked up he was with his boy (with dreads), but the owner was the "swol" guy with short hair. I think his name was Trey or something.
And yes, I got all the paperwork for it So did you check it out when it was for sale?

Looks F'n clean Ian. Keep this 1, because man this 1 tops all of your previous rides IMO. I like how the grill still has the pony badge & not the snake badge in its place. I always thought the pony filled the grill area better than the snake. Those are 2000 R seats too aren't they?

Thanks Dustin...yea this one has it all in terms of performance and looks. I seriously think I'm keeping this one. My daughter saw it and liked it too...and she's 3 yrs old Plus, my wife said she likes it, which is a first even after all my other "clean/nice" mustangs in the past...so yea, it's a keeper. Yes, they're 2000 cobra R seats. (its funny, the guy i got it from was like,"yea, I'd throw some leather on it. These are uncomfrtable, but its up to you..." HAHAHA, i was like yea, I wish you had the stock leather seats instead Like I said, dude didnt know jack shit about the car...all he knew was that he had binders full of receipts from the original owner ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) )
I plan to do a couple things to it but not much...it'll stay tame

Did you ask him how the hell it was making 400+ HP? lol.
Did that car have white wheels on it before? Theres an exact twin running around forsale, cobra saleen for 11k. It looked so sick at the sierra college auto fair, i must have sat there for 10 mins starring at it. People probably thought i was a vegetable.
