hey guys... ive only posted on here a few times, when i had a few questions regarding my mkiii supra drag car's rear-end setup.. i own that supra and a 94 turbo supra 6-speed but i decided i need some american muscle to play arround with... so yesterday i purchased a black 03 cobra with 618 miles! i love this car... i plan on breaking it in for a few k miles then start modding it... i will have about 7-8k to throw at... all of it is going under the hood... ive looked at some parts for this car on various websites but i need some feedback on what combos work best.. all i want is enough power to spank some vipers and z06's on pump gas... plus something i can drive arround town comfortably... i dont need extreme power.. thats what my 800rwhp supra is for.. but that is only good for 80-180mph highway runs... too laggy arround town and has no traction at lower speeds... well anyways.. thanks in advance for your feedback!

Have work done to the trans, install 26 spline input shaft, get new clutch etc.
Ditch the IRS, pick up a built solid axle setup.
Tubular K-member up front
Ditch the front and rear seats, put in some decent lightweight seats.

With those done at least you will have something that won't have major breakage problems, and the new K-member and stripped interior should get that car down to at least a respectable weight. Then start looking for power.
