We do have this and more now.......it's just more expensive. Lol. It's in the form of a TT setup for the GS (unofficial at this moment). It should produce over 500RWHP to the wheels letting you rip the paint off that cobra's doors while having enough space for several ladies.

if they can shoe-horn 2 turbos in that engine bay, they get all the props in the world (not to mention my money). its ok though, the wait will give me enough time to save my pennies........

DrRick,
SRT can shoe-horn 2 turbos. I'll wait til SRT releases all the details, but it requires the engine to be lifted out and then put back in. I am expecting some nice dyno #s and linear lines compared to the S/C dyno.

Mariusz,
Don't give away all of SRT secrets I saw Lexciting's GS when I was down @ SRT a few weekends ago. Wait til they see Mo's new ride, can't wait to see what it puts out. What's the ETA on your car being done?

Hehe. The ETA is 3-4 weeks. I'll do a writeup once it is done as well as my little DVD. I'll post it here, but Mo reserved the first copy. just hope it won't strech out longer than that. I'm also in the process of getting the HKS EVC5 from Japan (don't think it is available in the States yet) and mailing it to Mo. Should definitely be a sweet tunning toy.

I ttly feel you Brent. A friend of mine turned me on to some threads on the mustang forums that outlined this same thing.....
One thing I read is that these cars have "VERY" little driveline loss if you can believe that.....Some stock 03 Cobras are dynoing insanely high numbers right out of the box....

I read about the mods mentioned at Corall.net and other sites too. There is a short shifter already available for the 03' Cobra as well which would be another awesome ad-on for road racing..........which of course I would never do if I owned that car....

Hmmm, so if you are thinking about painting your GS a different color, this would be the perfect time to do it What a bonus!
