Nice, but booo on getting rid of your fox! (Even though a '97 is still technically a fox!)

Foxes will still be around in 10 years to fix up... A cobra this clean, not so much... Pictures do not justify on how clean it really is! This thing would spurt all over my fox now that had suspension, intake, exhaust an gears...

Beautiful car! I've always said- forged internals, some form of boost, and you've basically got all the car you'd ever need in a 4V Cobra.

Fine, fine....


Stock 68k mile plugs

Here is one of the interior before I got the chance to vacuum (turned on shop vac to vacuum for the first time and it was shooting dust EVERYWHERE.

Here is one from the Easter Sunday canyon run.


Now I need gears, have a bad bearing in the rear or something, I can't see the diagnose it, so I am going to swing by the shop before work tonight and see what a friend says it is.

Oh ya, I DO STILL HAVE MY FOX! I really wish that my rear end from it was the exact match for this seeing how its well built. (I heard that they are 1.5" narrower than the sn rear)?

Like I said in the other thread....very nice. Don't let the hardcore guys wearing the Fox blinders get you down. That Cobra is an improvement over any factory Fox all the way across the board. I'd burn my Fox to the ground if it meant I could own that car in it's place.

A little positive displacement boost, an adjustment in ride height and it would be about perfect IMO.

Welcomeee to the dark side!
The way I see, I like both my sn95 and liked my fox body. Had the sn95 not had been sentimentally valued I would've sold it and kept my fox body. But anyways.

While not my taste it does look like a clean car, I do find myself a bit puzzled with people that already have a car in their possession that they claim "I will have another again soon"...why?
