Found the site through the main Teckademics website. I must say - the Mischief videos are the best ones out there along with Rendevous and all of the Getaway in Stockholms. I hope that says a lot! All those other racing DVDs sold are great for drink coasters and skeet shooting.

So where the mid-west or west fourms, or is there just East for now? I'm a mid-westerner ... chicago.

I dream of participating in an event like the Gumball or Players run, but I think my 03 Cobra would melt from all the miles on it, they don't like to stay in boost for a long time when you're pushing over 500rwhp ... plus I don't think they would allow my FORD to participate... it's just a lousy 11 second car that can't go over 155MPH for an extended period of time or flipping over till I get my aerodynamics worked out (more $$$$$)

stock blower is ported, basic bolt ons, pulley, tune. I'm surprised that you're surprised, there are procharger, kennebell and whipple guys making 600rwhp to 750+rwhp. Ford rates them 390hp/390tq, but they are underrated, it's like 360 to 385 at the wheel depending on variables stock.

The IRS on these cars suck. Have to upgrade it or swap to a solid axle.

I am not suprized it is just sweet. I am looking at gettin blown in a couple months hopefully, along with forged internals. I have some bolt ons now, but nothing too serious. I would get it tuned around 400-430 wrhp with forged internals, not bad for a GT. Cobras are sweet though, I raced a 04 cobra and 99 cobra, beat the 99 since it was N/A got my ass handed to me by the 04.

Yup, not a series. A "cult" classic of a ferrari (maybe) with cameras mounted on it ... full throttle, going through red lights and down one way streets, etc. Here's the link:

note: ride height has changed since the pics, heat exchanger has changed since the pics, shift knob has changed to same knob but 6-speed logo so idiots can find the gears if someone else needed to drive it, and lots of things you can't see have changed as well :P please excuse me for the dusty interior! And no, that's not my house or my yellow 03 cobra in the garage!
