12 second BOLT ON VERT

  • Sponsors (?)


honestly, since you have the same mods as me, you could get close to it easily if you pulled out some weight. with a few less mods on street tires my car would go mid 13's all day long

no cage, the place is very lenient about that....i will get one next year. even for driving the car on the street i would feel safer with something to save my skull from a roll over(even though i would crack it open on the bar :) )

Have you looked much into roll bars yet? I'm looking around for one that will protect the skull but look halfway decent on the street (somthing like the steeda light bar....... It may not even exist.. :shrug: Any ideas?

yeah, there are some things out there. I think the best route to take would be to just find a good shop and talk them into bending you up a cage for a good deal. I think to have it done right you will be paying a grand if you find a good deal. There is a guy in texas that has a kick ass setup outlaw race cars, he makes them for 03 cobra verts, they drop right in and are pretty good looking as well, last time i takled to him he wanted 1500 or so which i could have someone local fab one up for me for that price.

lately i have been heavily thinking about getting out of the vert though....03/04 cobras look too inviting

Finally I got it and not by much. Old best in the sig along with link to mods.
I went 13.0 a few times today and even 13.001(MFER). Had a new best 60' on et streets 1.68 bone stock suspension(minus front sway bar) at 3550 race weight. The DA's were a little over 1000' today so there is a 12.7-8 pass in the car with a little better weather


60'........1.72
330.......5.287
1/8.......8.253
mph......82.710
1000.....10.823
1/4.......12.997
mph......103.75

just think the car can cut a 1.6 and with better weather I should pick up .15-.2. Car could use a tune too since i just have an off the shelf superchip

Damn man, pretty impressive :nice: Imagine what you'd do if you had suspension and a coupe instead of the vert.

Why kind of shifter do you have? Any shift lights?

yeah i was thinking, i want 500rwhp or so, then i was like, i have a car worth maybe 13-14k if i sell it. then for 500rwhp i would have to go with a shortblock/heads/cams/blower or spray and then a cage....thats 10k...why not buy a used 03 at the auction here(since thats my business) and put a solid axle and all of the boltons on along with a nice drop and deep dish 18's for cruising :) and still be in it for 25k. the damn cobra will still probably be a 20k car for the next 2-3 years....nothing else even close to it on the market will be available except for twice the coin for that long

ding ding ding!!! buy a zinc yellow 03 coupe!!! :D
keep this between us, i dont want these other schmos tagging along on our 2005 new years resolution. i was thinking silver or black actually...i want one of those colors with some deep dish wheels(maybe if they have an fr500 setup) black with a nice polished lip
 
Yeah, I'm getting to the point now where I'm pricing an engine build up to slap a KB on (out of pocket), or if I want to increase my monthly payments by buying a Kebra and go through the hassle of getting a new car.

Christmas is coming up too ... going to be broke either way! :(

Those '04 Screaming Yellow coupes are hawt.
