Goodbye 260 HP, Hello 390!!!
This is going to be my final post here at AcruaCL.com, I just picked up my 2003 Ebony Clearcoat Mustang Cobra <g>. This car is SCARY fast! I decided that the Acura just wasnt quite me...DAMN nice car!!! but just wasnt me, I had a 2001 Cobra Convertible, now I have the 390 Supercharged HP 2003 
. Have really enjoyed you guys and the chats...and will stick around to see how the whole tranny fight goes! Been fun!!!

I didnt pay a dime over sticker for it, this is my second cobra. For those interested in the southeast, Gene Evans Fod of Union City, GA, ALWAYS sells cars at sticker, what they have in stock is what they have, and they will gladly take a deposit....this car is SCARY fast! I am having a blast...its been raining..but as soon as its stops, I'll get pics of her up for you guys *does the Tim the Toolman Taylor Grunt* hehe

Damn fun ride. I just wished that they would update the interior with the materials from at least the late 90s. Other than that, good luck with it.

I was on Barrett Pkwy earlier tonight with all the other little racer boys (lets face it, I am 19 afterall) showing them up...the rain got so bad, I ended up stopping twice on the interstate, and saw some nasssssty accidents. Didnt realize there were so many ATL-type folk runnin' around these boards. Cant wait to get enough time in the dry to wash wax and photograph her...beautiful car. Cant think of a better deal for 400+ HP than 35 grand. Now I just gotta find me an unsuspecting C5 'Vette to beat up on <g>.

There's plenty of guys here that don't have acuras. No need to bail; we thrive on diversity here. Don't worry, we won't look down on you because you bought a POS Ford.
...j/k ...well sort of...

i friend of mine at work has a mustang cobra. i agree they are scary fast. nobody really needs that much power. it is just ridiculous.
anyway, part of the reason i bought a CL Type S was for the luxury. no luxury at all in a mustang cobra. very spartan interior.
my friend has the "mineral grey" which is a terrible name for a color. simiar to the desert silver that the rsx comes in. i would much prefer for the CL to be available in desert silver rather than anthracite. i just don't like the acura anthracite color very much. the bmw anthracite is much better.

Revving at 9K...
390!! Damn man.. Drive Carful, especially in the rain.. 
I had a 95 Z28, no where near ur Cobra, but man.. even that thing was hard to handle.. Oregon rains way too much for RWD muscles.

Nice Choice...I'm a huge CL-S fan, but when it comes down to it, domestic is the only way to go!!
