Muscle in the Garage?

Here is my girl, just finished replacing the clutch.  This hobby is a touch more expensive than BullGoose!!  I enjoy both equally.

Nice Cobra - which engine, I can't make out the badge?

I was expecting a Hemi T- Bucket or something, but OK!

T-Bucket, that is old school but still awesome!  I love all cars, was curious to see if this gang had some hot rods in the garage.

Thought you said muscle. That's just a Ford. 


Just kidding! Nice ride! Upgraded clutch or just replacement?

Upgraded, the stocker clutch could not handle the extra power of the new blower. Installed a new Mcleod RXT suppose to handle 1000hp at the crank.

I don't even have a garage anymore.

I miss having a Mustang, though partial to the one's with Cleveland engines .. which is a long time ago.  That 5.4L comes off a dedicated specialty engine line I believe.

My first car was a 69 Chevelle SS 396, but Saturday night drags were owned by the Mopar boys. Specifically a Roadrunner 440 and a couple of Hemi Cudas.

I knew there were some car guys in here.  Nice Plate, and Vette.

While I do admire your car, even though I'm not a Ford guy, I'm more impressed with your garage. Very nice.

Got a Fiat Abarth..love the growl....sounds like a Farreri for the price of a set of wheels..

No garage. Live in Manhattan. But when I get to visit SoCal I always rent the latest Camaro SS convertible and take a day or two to bomb up and down the coast. Ahhhh . . . .

You are correct, it is hand built motor from Ford they left allot of ponies under the hood yet to be released.

Well, at least you have your priorities straight!

My first new car, purchased June 1965



Our current car, 2006 Honda Element



If I knew then what I know now, I would have put the Shelby in storage. It was a fun car to own back in the day.
