2008 Cobra Jet with exhaust?

91trunk · 05-28-2009, 05:11 PM

Yep, I put some exhaust on my Cobra Jet in order to run Super Stang in NMRA The class requires exhaust and DOT tires. I have set of ET Street going on the back.

Car up on the hoist.

Slip fit pipes on the headers,and custom fitting the X pipe.

Pipe,Mufflers and turn downs tacked in place.

Now to Final weld. and Polish it up a bit. Should sound Great. It was fun working on this car! Thanks for letting us Matt!:

Very nice!

Good to see another one of those getting raced instead of being relegated to garage ornament status.

Sweet!

mcink · 05-28-2009, 09:25 PM

so, when do we hear it run?

should be a disclaimer that when those cars are sold, they need to be raced so many times per year, or the owner has to forfeit the car. If you can afford to buy one, you can afford to race one.

Ford didnt give them the cars, they purchased them on their own dime. Anyone that bought the cars can do whatever they want to with them. Some people bought them for investments.

So, what did it run?

Its a shame that Ford never made these cars street legal. Many years have passed since Joe Moore "Class Win" at Indy with his street driven Chevy Citation.
