You must be a Canuck to call a 1989 Mustang a "Cobra." ;)

80 in 2nd gear = are you running the stock axle ratio(if so, get some gears! :laugh:)? Also, which Tremec do you have in there?

Yeah, agreed, bragging about 80 in 2nd gear isn't much unless its a big HP motor....I don't really see the need of having that tall of gears unless you are road racing on long straight aways?

Dude I'm not bragging I just was saying that it is a fast car.  Don't twist my words! :icon_evil:  I honestly don't know why it is geared that tall I just got the car a week ago! (haven't had time to do anything with it let alone find out why it is geared so tall.)

I'm not calling it a true cobra, that is what the model is called.  It also says "Cobra" on my intake plenium.  On my insurance card it says "1989 Mustang GT/Cobra".  That's all I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here lol.  :laugh:  ;)

Its geared that tall because its an '89 Mustang with stock gears.  Sounds like it has 2.73's to me.

LOL thanks, dude!  I would also like to add that the motor itself isn't stock.(on the Mustang)  As far as I know from the previous owner it has a racing cam, headers, and a nice exhaust on it.  I know that doesn't make a huge difference but just puttin that out there. :icon_cool:

i'll have to get some pics of my new ride tomarrow :icon_biggrin:  the Cutlass is still the fastest of the bunch but for a stock Regal GS it has some balls!

EDIT:  snapped some pics today:









i drove ~400 miles (one way) to Belgrade, Montana to get it yesterday.  it passed 101,000 miles on the way home.  very very clean inside and runs/drives super!  it was was sold new in Phoenix Arizona and stayed in Arizona until September 2005 so NO rust at all.  i got it for $4270 which is about $2400 below NADA average retail so i'm happy!
