I actually like that a lot. Is that one of those 4Runners from Toyota?
Yeah, the last picture is technicially my ride as it sits. I thought I would peak more interest if I actually threw up some decent pictures to view...
Also, you know there really isn't much difference from '11-'14 Mustangs right? A little different hood/bumper combo and different tail lights. That is just about it. And there is no difference in a 11-12. 11 and 12 are the same. 13 and 14 are the same.***MOD NEGGED CREW***

Yep, its a 4runner trail edition, it's kind of comparable to a Jeep Rubicon. It gets terrible gas mileage, but it's fun for the time being.
That orange stang is biurful man. The 2011-12 had oil squirters on the bottoms of the pistons, which is something they removed for 2013, which'll be good for someone looking into forced induction. I've actually got a deal lined up on the car already, that's how I know it'll be a '12. It's got the Brembo's, 3.73's and a manual tranny!

LOL OP at as it sits then posting cars you don't own anymore. Why so many mustangs? Strong waste of money with the mach1 swap, etc. I mean its a hobby so whatever floats your boat...not trying to offend, just don't get it. Would love a terminator though.
Too dark to take pics, but both look exactly like this minus the snow from the DD.

It is my passion. I'll always have Mustangs. And the Mach 1 swap is VERY worth it. Pay for a 32 valve car at only a 24 valve price. I'm 22 so it really matters a lot! It walks 400HP cars all day. Anyone that goes from a GT to a Mach 1 really knows the difference. The only sad part is you can't get aftermarket heads and cams will cost over $2,000 not including springs, retainers, and cam gears. I am honestly sick of this body, but I may crack and get another Terminator when the time comes. It is really only that or a '11+ 5.0.

Like this =[
Pulled the GTO's trans to send the converter back to be loosened up some. The Mustang is becoming a dust holder. Driving the Altima all the time is boring.
Although, I did race my neighbors 2007 Audi A4 Quattro (Little 4 banger turbo all wheel drive), with my 2008 Altima 2.5SL (4 banger NA), and 0-75 we were neck and neck, I may have been pulling just barely.... Seemed like 0-75 took 5 minutes... LOL

I guess I should have been more specific. I understand how much better the 32 valve engine is, but with the exception of forced induction those engines don't really respond very well to mods besides gearing. When I was stock in my LS1 GTO and raced Mach 1's I always lost the dig (thanks IRS), then came flying by them around 80 mph like they had a boat anchor thrown out the window.
I guess more of what I was questioning is why not stick with a solid engine like the terminator and build that up from there. I get that its a hobby and you like tinkering with chit (I am the same way), but you could have still messed with plenty of the cobra. Any time I get bored with my car I buy something for it that I havent messed with yet.
Heat exchanger for TVS 1900. Car made 441 on a dyno jet before upping boost and making 417 on a mustang dyno (they said typically it makes about ~15% less) so should put the car around 465 on that same dyno jet. Other than the TVS its a pretty simple car with supporting mods mostly (exhaust, clutch, short throw, fuel upgrades, intake, brakes, gauges). Did rear suspension a few years ago, need to do the front, but still unsure how I want to do that. Have a willwood BBK sitting in my living room for the past few years along with a battery relocate and was planning on relocating the coolant reservoir for the TVS to the trunk as well and changing the intake to an over the radiator style to keep temps down.
Here are a few others.

See attached.
2008 Scion xD
Specs:
1.8L 4Cyl with Dual VVT-i
128HP (zoom)
4-speed automatic transmission
Modifications:
K&N air filter (increases horsepower to a whopping 130HP) and cabin air filter
Slightly larger tires because the Costco guy said they'd fit and they were significantly cheaper
Rather large dent on roof from a rogue tree branch
Highly scuffed aerodynamic plastic spoiler from washing the car wrong that one time
Paint paw print on passenger seat from the Yorkie stepping on wet paint and doing a tap dance
Pros:
Drives like a go-kart
Amazing turning circle
Easy to get in and out of
Very minimal, less to break
Low maintenance
Same cargo space as the last car (Jeep Liberty)
Good visibility, regardless of the back window
Cons:
Doesn't like uphills
Black interior shows every speck of dust
Headlights are already getting faded, gotta fix that
It's a Scion xD
I love my car, srs.

I'm very grateful to actually talk to a fellow gear head on here. So damn expensive to lift and mod cars.
To be completely honest, I regret getting rid of the 2003 Cobra every day of my life. I should have held out and bought another Cobra. I got so tired of it. I loved DSG (Dark Shadown Grey) before I bought the car, and my 1996 was a 'vert. I loved being able to drop the top in Texas on a warm day... But this car came with cons, and too many for my liking. I started to dislike 'verts more and more, started to hate DSG, I HATED the IRS, and hated the transmission. I probably spent close to $10k in bolt on's. I broke a few half-shafts. I could NEVER get the transmission to shift softly and the clutch pedal literally had about 50lb's of pressure to depress. It was fast and it sounded amazing, but wasn't what I wanted anymore. I got completely tired of it. Grey is the most boring color you can put on a car. There are 3 colors that flow well with it, Chrome, black, and red. Red is cliche. So I let it go wanting a different colored body with a hard top and came along the Lambo Orange 4V. Needless to say, I got googly eyes over the color and how famous the car was and got it. The car was a total lemon. The original owner ghetto rigged too much stuff for me to handle. I lost my job and couldn't hold on so something had to go.
As for racing, your Goat, as you know, is a tank. The thing is so heavy it isn't even funny. What is the most important thing in racing? Power to weight ratio. Get a stripped Honda civic making 175HP only weighing 1,600 pounds or less and it will walk anything you or I've got (of course you'd reel them in up top). I personally wouldn't make anything that weighes so much fast. Why do you think EVERYONE has a Mustang, either a Fox, or a New Edge (99-04) is because they a cheap, easy, and light. Not much cars have so much swapablity. I can go get a 5.4 SUPERCHARGED Lightening motor and swap it right into my car, bolts right up to a 99-04 K-member. But I'm pretty impressed with you TVS. I don't think I've ever seen a boosted late model Goat. Kudos.***MOD NEGGED CREW***
