Long story short I drove my bro's car for the weekend, realized how much I missed having a fun 5 spd car, even if that thing is slow as ****p). So I thought about starting to look at cars again, when I saw a message on a local board. I have always ALWAYS wanted a DOHC Teksid blocked 96-98 Cobra Well I think I might be going to look at a possible trade for a white 96. I don't want to get too excited too soon, but I responded with my info and if this works out I will have another stang to terrorize the streets in. Wish me luck!

Trade the bike? Trade what?

Good luck, and I know what you mean in driving a 5-speed. All three of my cars and my girlfriend's car is a 5-speed.

Street bikes get old after a while. Trust me, as I've owned a few and sold them all within a year or two. Too many idiots surrounding you on the roadways and racing at the track with them is just about as expensive as racing on 4 wheels.

Good luck on the SVT purchase. Hope you get what you want.

My dad had to sell my brothers 97 cobra for like 7k in perfect stock condition, there pretty cheap now, I'd love to get one and do a couple mods, his was slow, but they can be sick.

I would LOVE to get that 96. I think it would be a pretty good trade. BUT while I am still waiting for that guy to log back into the local forums and check his PMs for my response I found a black 93 GT w/ an S trim that I want.

a 96 cobra would be pretty slick, but a blown black 93 trumps it any day!

It won't be a vert this time around, this car will be fast on a budget and vert's aren't the best starting point. I have some big decisions ahead of me. Whatever I get will make you guys happy I'm sure, more importantly it better make me happy. I might even be looking at a classic
