A fellow Ford Maniac located in Germany!!!Of course as the Mustang came to Germany officially in 2014/2015 with Ford Europe finally playing along there are 1000s of new Ford Mustang fans. But they surely go not such a long way back and have been longing for American Muscle since they were kids. And they are not really interested in the "history" of the Mustang and all that goes with it and the older V8 engines. Most of them just have more enough money and they just buy the newest Mustang or get the most powerful one or have them powered up some more. But most of them also do no work themselves and get their hands dirty. But that is just part of my interest in Ford. For me it is always the "working class cars" and I love it when they leave the expensive BMWs, Mercedes and Porsche or other expensive sports cars in the dust. I just gave up on my Ford Scorpio V6 24Vs. These cars are quite rare but during a lot of years you could pick one up for very little money. Still they had this Cosworth V6 24Valve engine in it. It only had 195 hp but they only came with an automatic 4-speed transmission which was just going on and on with the top speed. On the speedo you easily hit 260 km/h on the Autobahn and it would still go higher. Of course that were no real 260 or 270 but all of the Porsche, BMW and Mercedes of the period and even newer cars were restricted to 250 km/h speedometer wise. So you could overtake any +100.000 Dollar  car in your Ford V6 which you have bought for something like 2000 or 3000 Dollars. The Sierra and Escort Cosworth got quite expensive now but basically it is the same. If people can drive they will crush any Porsche on country roads in cars still half the price or less.Okay, so I will try to take some decent pictures and maybe start a thread in the "Build up and projects" section.Thank you again for having me!Wow, that is great news! Well for now that is exactly what I need, a complete IRS from a 1999 to 2004 Cobra. If you can get that for me I would be in your debt!</blockquote>
