yeah i did forget that 1

Me and Thomas made fun of them. Saying for just 1 CI more and 100 dollars you get .5 HP more.

Uh, they are completely different engine families. You must be thinking about 427 and 428 ?

TMSBrad

I completely agree. For two years I've been asking MCA to develop a points system for MCA members who participate in Fun Ford Weekend or SCCA events. It's a shame that Mustang is so many things to so many people, except for the national leaders of our hobby, to whom they're only good for parking lot shows.

mustang6804

whats the difference other than 2 cid and 1s a boss and 1s a cobrajet?

BA Mustang

Well you would need an hour clock for my car

429 was part of the Ford 385 series of engines (429, 460). The 427/428 are part of the FE engine family (332, 352, 390, 406, 410 Merc, etc.) No parts interchange between the two families (unless you want to count external stuff like carbs, coils, plug wires). Not all 429s were Bosses - there were 429 Police Interceptors, 429 Thunderjet, 429 Cobra Jet, 429 Super Cobra Jet.

There was also 428 Police Interceptor, 428 Cobra Jet, 428 Super Cobra Jet.

hey dudes

i was at the show and it was killer. you ever think about having a street racer catagory?

TMSBrad

What would qualify as a street racer?

BA Mustang

a ricer mustang....

NOStang05

dude i could smoke your little red pony anyday. Street Racers are cars that are built for speed on the streets.

BA Mustang

Umm... yeah I'm pretty sure an I6 isn't for speed. Mine is for show not speed.

mustang6804

Dont get too big for your shoes, you dont wanna mess with our cobra. And the closest thing we had to a street racer class was a street driven specialty class with all the cobras, saleens, GTRS, shelbys, etc.

BA Mustang

No we had Street Driven. Specialty was a sub catagory of street driven.

mustang6804

yeah i know, but the specialty was a subdivision of the street driven

BA Mustang

I just said that.

NOStang05

hey dudes,

your cobra is an 04. mine is a 05 with NOS. You might beat me cause you got 420 though.

How many kills do you have?

mustang6804

1 b4 we bought it in front of the dealership, and then lets c probably around 10 others, only lost to a hayabusa and those things are beasts

mustang6804

let me rephrase that, 10 others that actually mattered, lol, you get so many people tryin to race you in little pos's that its not even funny!!

BA Mustang

Can you name each car? If you remember the car it was a race. Can't it doesn't count.
