In our research Ponysite.de has stumbled over many a
Cobra topic. While we certainly won't compete with any established Cobra site,
next section opened is the Ponysite Sidescoop - The COBRA SPEEDLANE. |
Check
it out now! This section will cover some COBRA basics, but will feature the one-offs or unexpected Cobra news. We'll start with a Lance Coren Interview by Wallace Wyss, continue with a Trevor Legate interview, Pete Ettmüllers memories from the Scuderia Felipinetti, Herbert Mueller stuff, the Barris Cobra and such kind of unexpected Cobra stuff. Join us in our effort to create another effective sidescoop of Ponysite. |

The article will appear in the oncoming December issue of Autovisie in the Netherlands.

Look here for the recent SEMA 2006 Mustangs Exclusive by Richard Truesdell for Ponysite Magazine editors invited to ask for specific photoshootings. The Roush entered project car at the SEMA is a Doug Hoppes high-end build ..called Reactor ...from the Ring Brothers. Mentioned already in the Oct. issue of Hot Rods it features a 427 Roush IR engine, big brakes, Protouring everything and a bunch of carbon-fiber body pieces from Gemini Technology Systems in Wisconsin. In addition to that 3 engine packages including a 700HP charger set-up for the GT500 were shown. Galpin Ford has a long history in customizing Mustang. We said it before, but Ford obviously is revitalizing its other resources for marketing of niche cars, while they really need to focus on the volume cars. The blue Galpin Mustang above features a new Boss crate engine. A full feature on the BOSS 302 Galpin is soon covered in Mustang Enthusiast or another muscle car mag. Rich did an excellent photoshooting of it. Expect lots of burning smoke. |
 Pics in the SEMA collection above More details on Roush website.

Rich Truesdell has a reason to write for Mustang
Enthusiast.
He is one himself. And he likes to lean over engine bays and talk to others, even across the pond. One of the photostories Rich did before and after the SEMA is about the ANACONDA GT690GW from Maibellene Autosports. His great shots will make it into mags. Get in touch with us, if you run a publication and would like to do a pro-story on one of the SEMA highlights. Gene Winfield and Leonard Compton from Maybellene Autosports are back with the ultimate Mustang Muscle Machine. This Anaconda is much stronger than any Super Snake in the world. Make sure you get one of only 21 being produced. All the specs at your fingertip here thanks to Jim Enochs. |

Reliving the past at a swedish drag strip Once in a while your editor of choice has a good day with other Mustang maniacs in Europe. Meeting Tord Jonsson and Mats Johansson made my day, when I had something to do up north in Sweden. Cruising in Mats 65 289 powered 4-speed Hardtop, staging at a Malmö dragstrip, riding the Bullitt of Tord and feeling the vibes of a 420HP Boss 302 racer from Jorgen. Swedish guys have a long history of setting up ultimate drag cars. A speed limit of 410km/h at this Malmö based 1/8th ! mile strip is a bit of a limitation to their skills, but low-speed peak torque is the key here. More pics here |
