1999 Mustang Cobra has an IRS, you are not going to catch it in order to circle it.

There's a reason Ford gave up on that IRS... it could barely survive the output of a stock Cobra.
Start adding bolt-ons, and you'd twist the axles off or blow up the pumpkin.
Many Cobra owners reverted back to the 8.8 because you could beat on them without destroying them.
