its not much ......cobra intake, gt 40 heads, different cam a little better than stock, slight raise in compression, 24lb injectors, crane 1.7 rockers (pedestal), 70mm mass air, 65mm throttle body, a better exaust, and a better trans T5Z

No badges
You will get tired quickly of explaining to people how it's not a cobra, just looks like one.
Besides, i don't think there is any 5 lug 93 cobra wheels.

its just a stinkin gardener snake. it doesn't intimidate people. i got a friend that's good at reading the manual and he always talks trash and won't back it up. we were at a party and he kept sayin its a cobra you can't touch this and you see that snake that gives it 280 hp its a 99 by the way. After about five minutes of this my girlfriend interrupts him and says you mean that gardener snake on the front. it was hysterical and he shut up the rest of the night.

Not to be a jerk, but nobody likes a Fobra. And its not like the cobras were much faster than the GT/LX cars, and from the looks of it you still have E7s anyways
