Whats up fellows? I have been messing with LS1's for about the past six years or so but I have recently been leaning toward another Cobra. I had a 97 back in 2000 am I loved it till my buddy put it in the trees . I want to get a vert no doubt about it. Here is the point at which I need help, I have my eyes on a 97 an 98. The 98 is yellow with 39900 miles it has a Kenne Belle an made 440 rwhp an 420 rwtq without a tune. The 97 is white has 66000 miles (2500 on the rebuilt engine) but it has a completely built motor. It has Crane cams, p&p heads an intake, block is bored .020 over an is balanced a blueprinted, Manley forged pistons an rings, Mahle connecting rods an full exhaust. The engine has 10.1:1 compression an was built by the guys at Proline racing. The car dynoed 318 at the wheels. I was wanting to buy something that was charged or buy something an charge it myself. Which one of these cars sounds like it would be the better buy? Thanks alot guys.

Get the s/c 98, add a tune, maybe a little more boost, or sell the Kenne Bell, and turbo it.....the 97 might be a good choice if you just want to throw a little boost (no more than 10 id say) into the mix, it has stronger rods which of course would be better. Not sure about that comp. ratio, or the fact that it is .020 over, the modular engines dont have very thick cylinder walls....

This thread should be moved to talk, not tech related.

Get a Terminator instead.
