extemely paranoid about plug launch so....

i decided to do something about this problem-------------------------buy a 2003 cobra that will fix the plug launching problem. the last straw was when the only other lightning in town did it with no mods and pretty low miles. bruce-if you read this its ryan from atco i tried to go with the Z06 that i lusted over but holy f are they expensive even used

Congrats on the new car Ryan

I also looked at the Cobras, a convert in particular, but just couldn't take the beating on trading my Lightning. I'll just continue to check the plugs on a regular basis.

See you at Atco soon

Congrats. Im sure you will enjoy it. Ive had mustangs for 15 yrs and it was time for a change.

Just be careful of the weak IRS when playing with slicks.

congrats. I think the plug issue is a east cost thing. Only 1 L that I know of in OK has launched a plug, but he is modified good.

Jeff,
If you here something that sounds like an exhaust leak, stop, do not pass,go, do not collect $200, gather your tools and go to checking.
