Nice. I'm sure that being the car salesman that you are, you knew what to look for but 03/04 Cobras in decent shape are getting harder to find. Being that you pulled the SCT chip out of that one, I'd be inclined to let a mechanic with intimate knowledge of those cars go over it to make sure it's not been ridden hard.

I have passed on the opportunity to buy three in the past year because all of them showed significant signs of neglect. My last car was one that I had owned previously, and sold again because the guy who owned it between me and me (again) beat the hell out of it. Car just wasn't the same anymore.

I dig the white and dark windows. Looks really good. What are the mods?

You are so right...finding one that's not been abused is hard to do these days

Lloyd was clearly in the right place at the right time with the black one he just scooped up. I'm going to see how business goes for the next year or so and then maybe try to find one that I can pay cash for. I'm done with car loans.

Joe-they are SSR GT3's...they were on the car when I got it. I like the way the look though and something different then the FR's or Bullitts so...might as well keep em...saves me some money. 265/18's front and 335/18's rear

David-I have had Scott at In Tune in Charleston, TN go over the car before I decided to keep it for myself...it was traded in at Mercedes of Knoxville....pretty much as you see it.

Mods are: Stegemeir Stage III Ported Supercharger, Plenum, and Throttle Body. RR S/C Spacer RR 2.8 Upper and 4lb Lower pulleys, Billet Flow Idler Pulleys, H&R Springs, Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors, JLT/UPR Custom 12" Intake routed in the fender, Full Bassani Exhaust with X Pipe, MAFia, Kenne Bell Boost a Pump, NX Wet Kit, Custom Tuned with a Diablo, all the switches guages and other essentials to make it work. 93 Pump S/C at 16lbs she makes 453rwhp/487rwtq and with a 75shot separate tune(switchable) makes 500rwhp/614rwtq on the Mustang Dyno which Scott's is consistently 14% lower then the 3 dynojets near him...so the internet bragging numbers are much higher lol....even if its all just bs.

the best part...it just rolled 20,000 miles :-D

Nice mod list :confused: plus the 75 shot will help keep things cool. Gotta love the sound of the Stiggy ported blowers.. they scream like a banshee. I do miss that sound sometimes.

I dont think the 02 axles will fit in a SN housing? But this is going in a 00 gt with a 94 rear under it.
