    says the center section is either a 7.5 or an 8.8 ring and pinion .... V8 cars should have gotten an 8.8 , v6 cars the 7.5. Here's a lovely set of 5.13's! I know a lot of the early SN95 4.6 Cobra guys were running 4.30's , 4.56's and 4.88's to help get them out of the hole.

Please verify this else where before taken as truth.
        Manual trans Super Coupes had 2.73, auto trans SC had 3.27. 94-95 SC auto had 3.31 with an open diff, because they had traction assist.

              So the air ride decided to do a "kitty crusher" revival last week. Swapped some tbird coilovers in the front and have some coils on order for the rear as well.

                Also removed the godawful tint the PO hacked onto the windows.

                Was able to get my hands on a set of spare rims for dirt cheap. Mark viiis have an odd lug pattern at 4.25"x5. Have a set of nitto drag radials in store and a planned trip to new England dragway in a couple weeks. I need to get a baseline for future modifications (Ie: gears, exhaust, etc)

                  Well was supposed to have a race this sunday, but it was rained out. Instead I bit the bullet and jmodded the trans and added upgraded accumulators for the 1-2 and 2-3 shift. Trans shifts amazing now. very firm, but still very streetable. Definitely worth the effort!
