I am only guessing but what file type are the pictures?

.BMP or bitmaps as many call them are often to big.

Try opening the photos in Paint under accessorys
Than save as a JPEG or .JPG






Yep I tried as bitmap and it refused me too

i would go for the notch, simple reason. chances are the snot has been burnt out of the 86, maybe not, just suspicion, but chances are the notch would be more driveable, although the 86 would be funner, i dunno...

Go with the '86. 4-eyed mustangs are still the best looking Foxes, IMO.

The 1986 is almost stock, just some 91 heads, off road exhaust, throttle body, air intake (fender), K&N filter, etc. BFG Comp T/A tires the minor stuff.

Ok Ok I own a two 92 notch backs.
But voted for the 86
At the car shows I have gone to this year I would of gotten more trophys with the 86. Simply because there is less competition in that class.

12.2 on a "pretty stock" 86GT? Aint happenin. My friends dad has an 86 GT, and it is far from stock. He's puttin a kenne bell on it, but there is no way it will run a 12.2 without major mods. My cobra puts 400 to the wheels and all i got was a 12.8

and the 86 weighs like 500 pounds less than the 03 cobra too. but a 12.2 at 122 seems way off for those mods. stock was like 15.1 adding the heads and all wont make that much of a difference. not to up that trap speed by 25+ mph

Agreed. You dont make that kind of a run, no matter how good you were driving, with only those mods. Now I might be wrong, but chances are there is something else under the hood.

I have a correction to make, Number 1 a stock 5.0 with a 5 speed will run a 14.0, and a 03 cobra stock runs low 11s on et streets or slicks.

a stock 03 cobra does not run low 11's on slicks, a stock 5.0 does not run 14s

Do a dry burnout, and launch in 2nd gear with 28x10.5 slicks and skinnies, with no passenger side headlight and SPEED SHIFT, and u will run a low 14 in a stock 5.0, and 11.40s in a 03 Cobra is the same way.

yeah, ive never heard of anyone ever getting 11.4 out of a cobra. no one at svtperformance has ever mentioned it either. your times are all WAY off. If an 11.4 was possible with slicks, i think i could have done better than 12.8.

an 87-92 notch you might get low 14's but the 86 motor stunk. i had one. replaced it with a modified from an 87. best was a 13.8 so a 12.2 he better have slicks and a big shot of juice

If the cobra was capable of 11 seconds, then it should have sold for a lot more than buyers paid at the time. ANY car capable of running 11 seconds, even with slicks, is a powerful car. I cant possibly see how an 86, with few mods, and slicks would get such a low E.T. I might be wrong, as I stated previously, but I highly dout it. Pics would definitley help. Unless...its a sleeper...lol
