NJ Taco's

looks like i will be most likely joining the FORD family....


SVT COBRA baby!

 

Please leave me the Tacoma in your will... I could use some new"er" parts

 

Fall victim to the April fools advertising?

 

nope...i was on for like 5 mintues over the weekend...all i thought was FACK what the hell are these ads...


but no...for real...joining the Ford family. The guy took it down for sale and is holding it for me for 2-3 weeks (after tax season so i can get everything in order)

not an aprils fools joke here....its real

 

ha if by the time i die....i have no significant other and no family left sure why not...but till then the taco and cobra will be sitting next to each other in the driveway. Taco is gonna still be my daily...cobra = sunny weekend warrior beast of a car only

 

I was a ford guy for a short stint. '67 ford galaxy convertible with a 390. I rebuilt the motor, had it for a few years and that was it. Cool ass boat though.

 

very nice back in the day my mom had a ford galaxy and painted it purple haha...always had fords in the family...currently:

2012 Ford Fusion (dads commuter car)
2004 Ford Lightning sonic blue (dads fun toy)
1989 Ford tarus station wagon....279,000 miles (i believe) mom wont get ride of it (even though my dad told her if she wanted a rolls he'd buy it for her just get the old piece of junk out of the garage)

i had a 05 STi/07 gixxer 600...but got rid of em for the taco slash time to grow up


and hopefully if things work out gonna adopt the 2003 cobra sonic blue

 

Nice dude. Love the Lightnings. Use to see them at the track all the time back in the day... my 550 hp SRT-4 days. haha

That should be a badass car man. Good luck with it!

 

Damn...I still want a 05 STi

 

yea me and my dad use to go up to atco and run on street nights

NICE....i liked them alot...cept fwd...too hard to put that power on the ground without spinning. least if you are still running street tires and not slicks on the front...

this cobra has some nitto 315 drag radials on it now gonna be fun lol

get one! they are awesome cars...cept v8 is the way to go for serious power without KILLING the bank account.

 

Ran consistent low 11's at 126 mph with slicks.Yea, it was tough in tge street till I put the AEM in it. Had it set to reduce boost and retard timing in first gear. No spin in first gear.

Love the STIs. Sound they make with exhaust is rude!

 

wow nice numbers! my sti had a lil bit of work done to it when i bought it and on that old setup, i was running 12.7s pretty consistently...but then i did oversized top mount, CAI, boost controller, stage 3 clutch/flywheel, and had it retuned at 20 pounds. The guy who tuned it said it should of been a 12.0 car. Never had it back to the track...never could find the time with school and work but it was a whole of a hell faster. thing would pull like crazy.

 

Atco Raceway is only 10 miles from my house and Wharton is across the street from it..... just saying.

We should have a morning of wheeling followed up by a night of watching the races. We could end it at my house (track closes at 10:30) and anyone that has a far drive could pass out there. Maybe a mod day the following day or something.

 

Niice dude! Who tuned it for you? They are real fun cars. Helped a buddie of mine build his. Stupid fast throttleing through turns.

Those 4-bangers get expenssive... Especially when you start blowing stuff up at 20+ psi...

Here she was.... tear

 

That would be a good, well rounded day. Maybe I will run the rig down the track for shits and giggles.

 

fastest truck wins a prize?

truck that leaves the most mud on the track wins another?

 

Haha they would love us! I remember them closing that track multiple times because of the deer. Send the guys with ARB bumpers down the track to clear the way.

 

I saw a ton of diesels running sub 11's last summer. Pretty cool for such heavy rigs.
