You put it very well, and pretty much sums up why I have no desire to go. I don't care about everyone else's status nor do I care to talk about mine.

Is momma's car a 4-cam? I'll agree with you though about the 4 cam being a monster. I had a '96 Cobra (first year of the 4 cam) before the truck and it was quite the beast. Ran smooth, and would pull hard all the way to 7000 RPM, and still got almost 30 MPG on the highway. Had some 18" Steeda wheels on it, Eibach springs, SVO/Borola side exhaust, Basannai X-pipe, high flow cats, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, heavy duty clutch, and some intake mods. It ran something like a 13.6 @ 107 on street tires. I was pretty sure with a set of 4.10's and some slicks, it would have easily dipped into the 12's. Wish now I would have never sold that car. Here's a pic of the old girl, just a few weeks before we parted ways:

No, but it may be eventually. My mother has a four cam MK VIII with a gazillion miles on it that would make a perfect donor car.

I don't generally like the SN-95 cars....but that Cobra of yours was very nice.

That would be pretty dang cool. Maybe you could rebuild it with some of the newer internals and put a blower on it. That would be an awesome machine.

It's no 4.6 but here's what I rented for our wedding. Almost bought it, it was so much fun and really handled well. My wife didn't want to stop driving it. I ended up renting it for an additional week!

You can pick the V6's up for dirt cheap too! Probably in the $3k range. This one was my wifes car before the kiddo came along, then I got her a "grocery getter" SUV (no pun intended Cris)

Just want to get a sense of the craps scale as it relates to desire.

Lisa three craps is getting close to being negative teritory, with 10 being the greatest and really wanting to see someone. I always had trucks when I was younger. Just couldnt get into cars and still cant. A buddy of mine had a mustang and we would swap vehicles for a while. He had a '95 5.0 with a few mods and 3.73 gears. Man, I would run the chit outta that thing and I'm sure he didnt cut my yota any slack. Good times. Morning Brandon.
