Well we have been looking on and off for 6 or 7 months for a car, she likes 94+ not really into foxes. She likes cobras, mach 1's and saleens. So I am looking at craigslist last weekend, 97 cobra thats about 5 minutes down the street. Get the guys number, he is in washington state visting his sister until the end of the month but says his parents could show us the car. So Sunday afternoon we go and look at it. As soon as we pulled in we both knew she would be buying it. 1997 cobra, pacific grean with tan leather interior 50k on it. The car is VERY clean inside and out. Has kooks longtubes, catted X pipe, magnaflow catback, 4.10's, subframe connectors, steeda cai( I think), steeda upper and lower control arms, 18" saleen wheels with brand new tires, lowered 1.5",slotted rotors, steeda shifter, tinted windows been tuned by a local shop. Should be around 300 to the tires, comfortable, handles, brakes, and has AC. Will be posting pictures of it tomorrow, by the time we got everything settled it was dark.

I laugh when girls have faster cars than car guys...

Nice purchase, now get her to the track (you can come too I guess) and get some numbers.

Too bad it has lowering springs, I was gonna try and sell you some. Also that Tloc, I could probably grab from you soon, might want to start a rear end this fall.

Haha I really hope its not faster, would prob be missing a few plug wires in that case! It will end up going to the track but chances are it wont have DR's or anything going to try to keep this thing from breaking. I am going to post pictures tonight a bird shat on it so I said I would wash it for her quick. Yea I would have picked up those springs but it already has them and if we dont want that monsoon on saturday Ill throw the diff in my car and we can meet up. Actually might just be going to hooters tomorrow night instead, but whenever no rush.

Brain, PM me your number not sure if Ive got it. Should be heading up there around 7 or so as long as I actually do go.

Sam, draglites and axles are here at the apartment we are leaving the cobra at my parents house with my car.

Here are some pictures, I think I need a new camera. Took a lot of pictures and these are the only ones that can out decent. All the other ones look really bright for some reason.

$9500, think she got a reasonable deal. Tried to get it cheaper but he wouldn't come down anymore. She was willing to pay his asking price anyways.

Oh I found a guy on turbomustangs with the same turbo looking for info about it. No one responded. He knew a few more specs then me. I think it's similar to a gt47.

74.7mm inducer ID and OD of the wheel is 102mm, with anti surge slot in the compressor cover. compressor a/r .60

87mm turbine wheel (exducer id)
A/R on the hot side is 1.34, the housing is a split intet.
