Awww, don't make me post the only sucky pic I have. Planning to pick it up Weds... woo woo Edit: I sold my Trans Am today!
Ohhkay: 1996 Cobra 4.6L 32V Engine, forged internals and Teksid block S-trim blower, 10 lbs MIT Motorsports Intake Diablosport Chip Dyno'd 460 RWHP Griggs GR-40 Roadrace suspension, front and rear. Torque Arm, coilovers, tubular K member.. the whole $4,500 deal. I will be adding a Methanol injection kit and dynotuning the car, as well as putting on a set of 4 piston Brembo Cobra R brakes to finish the package off. Roadcourse here I come! I know it's a Mod motor.. forgive me. It's too good of a deal to pass up.
Thats ****ing badass. I love how your dad makes you sell your car then you get one even more powerful. Are you putting the black Cobra R's on it?
Nah, it's all worked out. I decided to get rid of the black car anyway, due to not being able to daily drive it. And nope, I'm either keeping the 04 Cobra's on it now, or puttin some satin Saleens on it.. I'm never happy leaving stuff alone.
Well of course not. Wheres the fun in that? If you dont sell the black Cobra R's for some reason I got dibs on the back ones.
what!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! $4500 for all that? i just hope the cops don't think you are the one who stole it! so a carbed 347 was not daily driveable? what's up with that? you were saying you loved your carb setup.
Well here's the deal.. I built that black car for more of a track car than anything, so I deleted heat, A/C, sound deadner etc, and now that it's winter, it takes a couple minutes to get the car warmed up to where it runs normal (non-choked race carb will do that) and I don't have more money to put stuff back on to make it a little more comfortable to drive. I'm know other people have done similar things before.. overbuilding a car, and regretting it. I'll miss that black car like nothing, but I decided I'd better get a good all around car. Not a $16,000 yard ornament. As far as the Cobra, I paid $9,700. The current owner had to bail out of a loan, and really didn't know a whole lot about the car, so I'm taking over payments. I'll be paying for the car by parting out my 347 car.
fair enough. i hope i am not in the process of over-building my car right now. best of luck to you, and i hope you find the insurance payments acceptable. does your father have the same rule with this one as he did with the 347?
Sounds very similar to a buddy of mines old '96 cobra. Forged, s-trim, 440 rwhp, and everything in the Griggs catalog. Was definitely a fun car.
