Loud, Low, Geared, Cammed, Built, and Tuned!
I am too BIG and TALL for most sport cars. The Mustang is a good fit for me. I have modified my COBRA's seat frame and relocated the seatbelt retractor to make room for my L-O-N-G legs. Now my knees have plenty of clearance from the dash.

My Mustang SVT COBRA is a Daily Driver.
Cruising around Knoxville with the top down is FUN!
INTRAX 2" lowering springs. Rides like a FLOORJACK!!
150k+ miles had worn the edges off a few items, so I did a partial restoration in 2009 which included a new convertible top, painting the bumpers, Bullitt pedals, FR500 steering wheel, wicked Ford Racing floor mats, and Ford Racing suspension.

The sound at idle is docile and increaces into a screaming Formula 1/jet engine as the RPMs climb. It is a trip to accelerate in the Knoxville Tunnel!

WOW!! I LOVE my MGW shifter! I no longer have to baby-step into third gear, I can BANG it like I mean it!! Rowing through the gears is a joy and a pleasure.

Original COBRA rear wheels widened to 101/2". Looks very cool.
