Ben, currently hailing from the "Queen City", Charlotte, NC.
Got into 'Stangs growing up around Cleveland,OH, right around 16-17yo, with a buddy who had an '87 GT with T-tops (LOVE the T-tops!). Helped change the Cam, Headers, Exhaust, weld in (looking back on it, SO GLAD we never had a chance to see if the "welds" were any good!) a ghetto rollcage, and even eventually tore down a 351 Windsor to swap some other parts. Hooked ever since.
Ended up getting a 1993 Cobra around 1996 and kept it through 1999; been through too many cars since: 2005 BMW 330i-ZHP (props if you know that model), 2002 Saab Viggen, Civic Si (yeah, I know), and a bunch of other forgettable ones. ALWAYS loved the pull of the 5.0 and lamented the loss of that engine.
Saw/felt the faults of the SRA even in the 1990's, didn't like the styling of any of the Mustangs past 1993, and almost came back in 2005, with the exception of that daggum motor. When I finally got ready to pull the trigger in 2011, my heart was heavy knowing IRS would come in a few years, so I didn't do it. Now I'm ready (DI and possible Voodoo theories be damned!)
