Congrats go out to Greg aka XSR for being our November FOTM Winner:thumbsup1: He put a lot of hard work, blood sweat and tears into tuning this once 4 cyl hatch into what you see before you now. Hopefully he will give us more of the story behind the ride.

Yes, I will give details Bones. As many know my brother was killed drag racing his beautiful teal 93' Cobra. After about 4yrs I decided to go get the parts that I could off his car, that I have had in storage since 2002. Everything I could use, I did. This included 3 of the wheels(nightmare finding one good match), motor, trans, rearend, and catback. I also managed to get all the brake parts off, along with the rear bumper, and 1quarter glass. I love the teal Cobras, but there are two reasons for black. 1. he said if he ever wrecked it, he would have a black Cobra, and 2. I think it would have been hard for my parents to deal with.

As for the motor it has a stk bottomend with a Comp blower/nitrous cam, ported TW heads, ported Vic 5.0 intake, BBK 70mm tbody, 75mm MAF, and motorsport stainless headers.

Thanks for all the votes, as this car really means alot to me. At times I had thought about buying a orginal blk 93Cobra, and changing the parts out. But sometimes building one from the ground up is something never forgotten, as he will never be forgotten. Here is a pic of his Cobra 4months before he wrecked it.

Congrats on a well deserved win. Thanks so much for sharing more of the story with us. I knew a little behind it and never wanted to ask more for fear of upsetting you. I am sorry for the loss of your brother and the pain you all suffered thru it all, but I am sure he is very proud of you for the action you took to honor him. CONGRATS again!!
