I'm contemplating it, if I can find the right car at the right price. At least for the next 30 months...SVTdriver said:Are you coming back to the mod motor?
Omg ....did my ears just decieve me......Ok I got it ...your gonna try to find one that likes you...lol... not like the one you test drove wright?You know I gotta give ya a hard time about that dont ya..All kidding aside I think thats great and I hope you find one you like cause I still love mine ...more and more everyday,and i'll know you wont b e sorry...now thats its warm out..who needs a stereo...when you can roll the windows down and listen to that supercharger whine and some borla stingers in the windHairyCanary said:Anybody know of someone local selling a DSG or sonic blue '03 Cobra? Preferrably with <10k miles... ??
Why, horsepower of courseToddzilla said:Dave, what do you want out of your GT that's going to cost $15k?
Ya but not many sisters have them."03 cobras" and besides theres no room for golf clubs in the vette.lol.....and even though we all know corvettes are purrrfect and will never have any problemsDarkness said:But everybody and their brothers have 03 cobras, and turbo mustangs are rare and a PITA. So... get a vette instead.
Ya Dave I think you would be happy with the cobra and when you start to hate your car(the current one) you may as well get rid of it before something else breaks.HairyCanary said:Why, horsepower of course.
What I would do, in order:
- TKO 600, clutch, yoke, etc, $2000
- Traction, $600
At this point I'll make a run to the track to see if my car can do 12's with 280 rwhp.
- PTK turbo kit, coated, w/T64E head, 42# injectors, $5000
- 31 spline axles, differential, $700
That should be good for 450 rwhp, maybe as much as 500 depending on how risky I want to be. And if I could learn to drive, 11's.
- DART block + internals, $5000
This is for when I blow up the 100k mile shortblock and want something that can safely handle serious power. I'd turn the wick up a little, tune it for 600 rwhp or so.
I'm trying to be realistic on cost, but it'll likely cost more than what I've listed. This also assumes I do all the work myself. What I have not allowed for in this is what I'd have to do to the suspension, or what I would need to change to make it legal in the 11's. I'd have to do this with an '03 Cobra, too, of course.

Used S-trim = $1800
ET streets = $300
And run 11s with much less headache? That should yeild over 400 rwhp easily.

Gregg says the only downside to seeing some 1.8 60' times was the nagging worry about "will this be the time the T-5 lets go..."Visceral said:Your brother just ran a 12.2 because he put some drag radials on his car and started beating on it. In fact if you hate the car, it may be a perfact time to start running it"Save that hate!"
It wouldn't be just so I can go a *little* bit faster. It would be to go quite a *lot* fasterDont get an 03 Cobra. Its like me putting a 150 shot on my car and saying "look! I finally got my 12s!"
What, he's trying to sell it already? What about the quest for 11's? The day Will gives up on his turbo, it would be a dark day. I suppose maybe he's just going to upgrade, but that would hardly require swapping out the whole kit...saleenster said:Just buy Will's turbo kit, and you'll be in business...Eric is the man on turbos.....and he lives right around the cornor from you...so to speak.....
