Hi Guys

This is great to watch. This is a Small, Small Block 302 stroker that will blow off all those boat anchor biggy blockies. LOL

The guy driving this cobra to a 9.75 ET at 138 MPH is the owner of Fast Lane Classic Cars in St Louis David Williams—this is the guy that bought a Shelby Cobra last week.

Check out the video of his 9 second run. It’s a stroked 302 Ford on nitrous!

You will love this video!

Hey everybody

Thought I would share a story with you. About 6 months ago I needed to replace one of the rear lower control arms on my wife's '03 Town Car. The reason I had to replace it was that I accidentally put the jack on it not thinking and I bent it slightly so I decided to replace it. Ford wanted about $70.00 for a new one and I found them on eBay for $14.95. Now on the Mustangs where we are running 3, 4, 500 or more HP I would never get a cheap part but on the Lincoln that is under250HP and my wife drives like a granny I figured it should be fine, well the old saying holds true you get what you pay for!

I wonder if the stock Mustang ones would fit?

HD camcorders?

Question for you video experts out there. I am looking for a pocket HD camcorder to record rides in the Mustang and on the motorcycle. I have been researching for a while and there appear to be many options. I have only found 2 models with image stabilization, a Kodak and a JVC. Do I need to be he11 bent on image stabilization or can I live without it. What is everybody using and what do you suggest?

I don't have IS on any of my video cams. I some ways it doesn't really matter if you mount the camera in a car. What will matter if you don't have a good in car mount. Ram Mount make good ones that have a good suction cup and are very sturdy in design. If you have an IS capable camera and your mount sucks IS won't do you any good. For your camera try to get one that will accept a wide angle lens, it will help make your videos look less shakey.

Hey Bill, your going to SEMA? Make sure you run into SVOPaul. Him and I am pretty sure 390 4spd will be out there with the project car T-67 in the TMI booth.

Owned by John "390 4spd" Loper and built in conjunction with "SVO Paul's" SVP Unlimited and TheMustangSource.com, the custom 1967 Mustang convertible is a beautiful yet menacing cruiser featuring classic Shelby styling cues blanketed in Indigo Ink Pearl with white Super Snake-style stripes, powered by a supercharged 4.6L DOHC V8 SVT Cobra "Terminator" engine delivering in excess of 400 horsepower and riding on a Griggs Racing Watts Link suspension. The combination of classic Mustang styling and modern technology is further evidenced by the interior, furnished by TMI Classic Automotive Interiors and featuring Auto Meter gauges. The car rolls on custom 18" BOZE Alloys wheels, behind which lies a set of 14" Baer brakes with six-piston calipers, also finished in Indigo Ink Pearl, on all four corners. The Mustang's classic exhaust note is enhanced by a custom-fabricated Magnaflow exhaust system. Visit TheMustangSource.com to follow the car's build from start to finish.

Sweet, then Jed can I ask a favor, grab some really good photos of the car, with and/or without crowds around it. Pics with people checking the car out have a good purpose.

Im sure we can get Paul to dress up in one of those outfits the models wear... im just not sure he wont get arrested for indecent exposure!
