Older style and yellow would make it a 98 Cobra. 305 horsepower stock. Lot's of stuff out there. Stock they are low 14 to mid 13 cars.

i think steve nailed it, it was yellow and must be a slightly older style, i was kind of worried given that it sounded great and all of these stories i hear of cobras running 12's. sorry i dont keep up on the mustangs much.


As much as i love the 996, there are certain areas that our s2000's are unbeatable, obviously not in power, but the ultimate connection to the road and car. Sometimes, i feel the porsche feels a bit distant but for everyday driving it is great.

sorry no decent pics of the 996 yet

Maybe it's time for a GT3 then, or if you really want to keep the power the GT2. That will give you "feel" a plenty

That looks like an apartment with a garage. Do you live in an apartment? And you have an S and 996TT in an apartment? Of course, it is only my assumption from the pic.
