Mississippi boy in SC

[1BadSVT]

Hey everyone! The name's Jason and I'm originally from the MS Gulf Coast, but live in Upstate, SC now. I had a 98 v6 5speed in college with torque thrust 2s and suspension that I used for autocross. I've had a couple other projects cars over the years but that's a story for another day. I've been out of the game after life and kids but finally jumped back in this past Sunday. Even though I waxed them on the course with the v6 I always wanted a Cobra.

She's a red 96 Cobra and it's not stock. I'll have to start a thread because I don't really know what I bought yet. Exciting for sure and I'm glad I found this group!

Edit: photo added, she only has 23k miles!

The car needs a lot of general maintenance that I plan on completing next week, but the bigger issue is so much has been done to it and I have to get up to speed to understand what I actually bought . That said, it'll be safe for the street but was originally set up for the street/drag strip so suspension will be up there on the list with brakes.

Based on your first post, you have a handle on autocross suspension mods. If you do end up having any questions, I'm happy to help. I've been autocrossing a 2000 GT and a 2004 V6 for years. I've also posted lots of videos about suspension mods & weight reduction on my YT channel.

I will take you up on that. It might be later next year, but I'll be picking your brain before then! FYI, just posted a build thread.Jason's 96 Cobra build
