New Guy From SoCal

Cobra Drifter · Feb 6, 2013

Sup everyone! My name is Robert and I love Stangs! Just a short into, I have an 01 Cobra vert I bought brand new June 2001 which is getting a fullly forged teksid eaton & T56 swapped drag race build (I know dragging a vert but I like to be different lol), traded in an 08 GT that I bought new and owned for only 10 months in exchange for my current DD an 09 Shelby GT500. I probably have seen and met some of you as I frequent car shows and races here in socal and vegas . Always glad to meet more fellow stang/car enthusiasts

Some progress pics:

MustangChris · Feb 6, 2013

WOW!

Welcome!

whiplash473 · Feb 6, 2013

what are your plans for it?

Cobra Drifter · Feb 6, 2013

Cant spill the beans just yet as Ive been planning this for 2 years. Some body work yes, new wheels yes, custom suspension work yes, paint yes, custom carbon fiber parts yes. Then phase III to get ready for the big shows in Sept. Phase III will be top secret stuff for SEMA and will unveil it there.

Im so missing racing my Cobra so Im on a quest to get it driveable ASAP so the Shelby can get into the shop.

I drag race and track race but only drifted off the track once. That was a very costly repair

Here is a gopro from Willow Springs big track. First time out so not alowed to pass on teh turns.
