Re: New Mustang Sights
 

Thanks for the info, Chuck! The CJs really are some very cool Mustangs. Yeah, they're pretty spendy in some people's mind, but I kind'a think they're a good value for someone who wants to literally step right into an NHRA-class-legal stocker, without having to go through the time and expense of "building" a car.

I had the good fortune of being able to spend some personal time with Cobra Jet last November (I drove it at Las Vegas, the weekend after the finals). I know there are quite a few non-believers and non-Ford guys out there who balk at these cars, but I have to say, they really are pretty serious pieces and I think that after the growing pains are gone, they'll do quite well in Stock and Super Stock.

Looking at these new CJ engine pictures I see an engine that is pretty much showroom stock. The power steering is there and so is the emission control stuff like the crankcase ventilation, idle control valves etc. I think that it also has the belt driven water pump on it as well. If that's the case, there is a lot of horsepower left in these engines. :eek:

Word from the track...

The whole fleet of Cobra Jets just busted off 10.0s across the board. Oh, yeah, they're DEEP-nines capable, but I guess they'll all have to be recalled or something for roll-cage upgrades! Call it an oversight or something, but Ford Racing set all of them up with gobs of power...and 8-point roll bars! Doh!

Thanks for the pics KJ. I like the License plate always plugging the mag.

Re: New Mustang Sights
 

Just curious, but do these cars have the 5 lope supercharger design or a 3 lobe design (Tim Kish are you reading this?)

Re: New Mustang Sights
 

Combine the performance of these new cars, with the fact that, so far, Ford has said "no thanks" to any bailout guarantee from taxpayers, I think next Monday, after the racing on Sunday, might be a good time to buy a Ford.

Now, next week, if they start suckling at the federal nipple, then.....never mind.
