A 90's Ford 5.0 is indeed boring!!
I got to get to work on that thing! The car I got coming will be a total "daily driver" approach, never see the track with this one.
Easy maintainence, good gas mileage, comfortable A/C, hard top. A "show car" (oh man, I've become a waxer). Maybe I'll add some more chrome as time goes on, perhaps a Vortech. Something more to "spice it up".
I DO expect to take some "flack" with the small block, comes with the territory. If the car is "exceptional" that will be OK. Same thing applies to a Cobra without Ford power, expect to take some "flack". IF the the car is "exceptional", you can get around that.
We all have different goals. I admire those guys that go for pure "period correct" in their Cobra. While I love MY car, I will move "to the rear" for theirs, and gladly so.
Hey, you can park next to me, on the back row and we'll make fun of the front row guys and what "fanatics" they are.
They'll be up front talking about the guy in the back with freekin' A/C in his car, whats up with that???
I'll take it in stride, and admire all the Cobras there!
