Chip Lowther- 1995 Mustang Cobra - 95SVTCobra - 09-10-2014

Hello! My name is Chip Lowther, and I am a freshman here at JMU. Unfortunately, this means that I cannot bring my car, which I am missing a lot right now. I drive a 1995 Mustang Cobra Rio Red.

Currently, it has 52,xxx miles on it, so it's just getting broken in. I bought the car in 2013 with only 38,6xx miles on it. Since then, I have done some upgrades to it, mostly to improve the noise. At first, I wanted to keep the car stock, but then the mod bug bit me. I originally had Flowmaster 40 series on the car, however, they were just a bit too quiet, so I swapped that for Magnaflow Magnapack catback exhaust kit. I then decided the 4 cats (yes you read that right 4 Catalytic converters stock) had to go, and bought a BBK catted x-pipe. My friends then convinced me to buy an off-road x-pipe (no cats), and I installed this one afternoon in my garage. Now, the car has the classic 5.0 rumble and screams at WOT. :thumbup:

I then decided to throw a Steeda Tri-ax short throw shifter on it, and paint the calipers red for the extra 5 hp (I wish).

The last thing it has done to it is I have lowered it from the stock 4x4 height (rumor was it was that high for snow chains???).

After:

This was a much needed drop. I have some plans over winter for it, which include a new set of rear gears. I plan on going with 3.73s versus the stock 3.08 rear ratio. Also, before the school year is over, I want to get a dyno tune and a chip burned for the computer. Finally, around May, I plan to put some chrome Saleen wheels on it. That's the plan anyway :thumbup: . Thank you for reading this post, and see you around campus (or at events for the alumni Big Grin

Nice to have you on the forums, Chip! I hate to say it, but it's kind of cool to have so many Mustang guys joining up this year! Maybe we can make MM stray away from the 99% BMW craze Big Grin

Looks great! You and Mark would get a kick out of all the American Iron racecars at the track. Hopefully we'll see ya at some events, welcome to MM!

Thanks guys! Plan to bring it up here sometime soon for a weekend (maybe for a cruise?) and without a doubt will be bringing it to the car show in the spring. I have to do some mods first though :lol:. I'm hoping those gears really help the car get going.

Is the Prius the only thing a credit union will finance once you're married-with-child?
