Ordered a Factory Five Mk-IV Cobra kit today. Also got a 414hp 32V Coyote & Tremec TKO600heavy duty 5MT Crate units from Summit Racing.

The power package will push a 3650lb Mustang down the I/4 in 13.0 @ 111mph with 0-60 in 4.5. Should move a 2200lb car right along pure stock.

Hope to have it put together by spring if it shows up in Jan. The engine & transmission should be here next week. Will be running F245 X R315 tires.

Been away from building too long, got the urge & the devil made me do it.

Yeah, Hope to have it running late this summer. Last car I built took a summer of weekend with usually two people working on it. Will be on my own most of the time for this one.

Yes its street legal, the 335is would get stomped Should do 0-60 in 3 & 1/4 in 11.5/125mph, give or take a bit.

Stock 420hp Coyote engines (2014 Mustang GT) dyno about 390/395whp against the 335is 405whp but the Mk-IV is about 1000lbs lighter. Just god Conformation from Summit the enginetrans is shipping from Ford Racing & have a delivery date of 1/18/14 from Factory Five for rest of the car. Only thing currently hanging is the rear axle but hop to get that solved this week. Tire Rack has shipped Kumho Ecsta XS 245X40X17 - 315X35X17 tires.  Tires are very good track day & street tires. About as far as you can go & not move into track only rubber.
