Yikes! What a monster! Kowabunga, 748 HP at the rear axle! Holy cow, that would get you to the corner store in a jiffy!

I am the proud owner of a 2003 Mustang Cobra. The factory says the motor is rated at 390 HP, but I have been told that that is a low number by folks who've dynoed theirs.

It is a lovely car and gets up to 26 MPG on the highway.

I haven't done any after market work on it.

Thank you for your note! Vroom, vroom!

-Rex

Are you sure about that MacArthur quote? I thought Roger Penske said that.

Congrats on the 03 'Stang. Sounds like she'll move. My boss has an '03 'Stang too with the V8 and a 5-speed. He let nme drive it to lunch one day with him in the co-pilot's seat. He didn't let me drive it again. Told him that day (without lighting up his tires) that we needed to find out if anything would break if he ever got one it. ;-)

The 26 mpg is great....my boss's also has numbers like that too!

FYI: there's a chip tune-up you can get to drop the cut-out at 110 mph.
