I take issue with performance not being available out of the box to people who can't afford a 50k+ price tag. My Contour new was about 21k but it was one of the funnest cars I've ever owned!

      They did but the cobra had a 4.6 4v. The same motor as in the Lincoln mk8. Made way for the mach 1 and later “C head” 4.6’s like the termi but a Mustang w w a 4.6 gt badge is nothing other than a 2v from 96-98.

      @@hunterjernigan2535 interestingly enough the Mach 1 4v shares everything with the terminator aside from the intake and rotating assembly, whatever heads the terminator got, the Mach 1 also got the, so it's possible to find the AG and AF heads on a mach, but also the DA, DB, and DC heads on 2004 models, meaning if you strengthen it's rotating assembly, you can turn a mach 1 into a terminator

My grandparents lost three of their five children to heart attacks. All three of them had one thing in common, they were all gearheads. They rode dirt bikes, raced late models, owned the most badass cars, (i.e. Ford blue 74 Torino Elite with the matching blue vinyl top), and nonetheless rode life balls to the wall. Thank you, James.

    gotta say guys, the SHO is seriously my all time favorite car. I daily drive a 90' model, and I honestly just love this car, so I'm really glad we got, like, a 3rd time mentioning the SHO on the channel. Hopefully it gets more young people interested and buying them up so I get some newer information to see how to fix mine instead of looking at forums from 2006 lmao

    My neighbor across the street from me has a blue '01 SVT Lightning and my other neighbor down the block has two Kenne Bell Cobras. He's got an orange and black '03 coupe and a Mystichrome '04 convertible. They let me ride in them a few times and once they trusted me enough, I got to take them for a test drive. I also drove a Focus ST and an RS when I used to work valet in college. If I ever get to drive a Cobra R and a Shelby GT500, my SVT dream will be 100% fulfilled.
