Okay, maybe not ol bessie... but the old Diablostang?

She's looking STOCK now... just posted her up for sale on several forums. Everything else is gone, body goes now. It'll be nice to have more room on the driveway though.



Gone from:









to:




I miss the bad-to-the-bone attitude that car had... but my Cobra has more power, carves the corners like nobodies business yet still keeps the leather and A/C.

I definitely have thew cam envy though. Miss that lope.



Oh, and for your enjoyment:

So what did you do with the rims and tires?

Man that car is/was sweet.

Does it still have the 347 under the hood?

Sold the rims/tires like 6 months ago... Kinda wish I'd kept them for my Cobra now though.

The car is just a rolling shell now, the drivetrain is long gone.

boost and a full suspension will make a car fast and handle well. it's still hard to believe that this car is that much faster than that 347 was ... that this was bad!

was the griggs stuff expensive? and how is the ride? i want to upgrade my suspension so it can handle as well as or better than a M3.

why did your father make you get rid of the 95 again? and do you have the same rules with this one?

Well, the Cobra has a built 4.6 with a blower = 405 RWHP (after I pullied it down.. used to have over 440)

The Griggs stuff is going for $5,500ish in total, + install. My Dad just got the complete Maximum Motorsports setup (same thing I have, different brand) he spent $6,550 installed, and got a 14% discount on the MM Stuff too.


Ride... well, you feel every bump, but it's not like teeth jarring.. I personally am fine with it, I wouldn't mind daily driving it all the time. Once you drive a car witht his much suspension, you'll never go back.

I got in trouble with the 94 for doing the donuts in the video up there.. Cops showed up in the parking lot, called my Dad etc. He had a rule that if I got in trouble, he'd take the car.. long story, but after I decided to sell it, we worked it out since I still have a perfect driving record, but I decided to sell the 94 anyway and get a car with A/C and heat. I got lucky with the Cobra deal, so 'm happy with the change, but still miss the 94.

Same rules for the Cobra though.. I lose the car if I get in trouble. (Still have a perfect driving record..kock on wood! )

Was asking $2,350, hoping a guy is picking it up Friday for $2,000... I want it gone, it's in my way.



And hitting the rev limiter was an accident, my foot got caugt under the brake pedal (big feet, -size 13) so I couldn't get it off the gas, haha.
