Car Idea

**HidalgoGT** · 03-21-2009, 04:05 PM

WEll as most of you have seen I sold some stuff to buy my new toy which I will post pics of this week coming.
Next thing I have been thinking about is my car and what may or may not be on the agenda for it. I would like to have a car that has some serious power and can still drive from here to anywhere without much issue.
Granted a 408 carbed stroker in a c4 car isnt really realistic for this.
So should I sell the coupe and save up and pick up a 03-04 Cobra or do ya think a 03-04 cobra drivetrain in the coupe? Course in the cobra I could have a/c for those hot days lol.
Just, things bouncin around in my head for the future maybe a fall project.

I hate those damn things. No offense not saying they are junk. I just don't like them. Course I never sat in one or drove one. Maybe, if I took a drive in one I May change my mind would take alot to do so lol.

x2 i agree with you... but be honest to yourself... the 03/04 cobbi as i call them .... there fun to drive esp here in pa with tight bends and turns esp going up hill. then the truck space is more for the money i think... i have a place in pymatuning and love taken it up there for the road trips on the weekends... and i always fill it with fishing stuff and cloths for my long weekends... seats come down to put my cat rod in ... and still have the wonderfull a/c... but this year im doin things different. i love my cobra but i put 6k miles on it and im done with that. so i bought a fox hatch. ... its like a badass gocart lol... plss i get more trunk space... so now ... i got 2... its up to you! go w your 1st thought... and enjoy this weather and prep for the summer its goin to be a hot one!

X2, the ease with which they can make power is unreal.

You said somewhere else that you really miss your '04.

Buy my car, put a 200 shot of NO2 on it until the rods put dents in the oil pan. Then, rebuild the bottom and slap a KB blower on it.

Ta Da you should be able to do this for less than $20K.

Lol, Ya I ran the good ole giggle juice on the 04 and used alot of it lol. Just cant get the blower sound out of my head though when Lou and I would cruise up to irwin. He would rip by and its just damn nasty sounding. I sure did like my 04 though. Have to see what happens this fall when I am done tweaking the big toy and ready to buy in the fall when they get a lil cheaper.

Buy a new camaro..................ahahahahaaha good one smartass lol

Ed, I heard you were laughing at dinner about mentioning the vette to me another smartass lol

I love the Cobra, 600 rwhp driver would be awesome. Who can deny the love of the sound of a kb/whipple rippin by or rowing threw the gears.

Cobra's have come down a lot in pricing. Keep your eyes out.. I know i will be.

Have most of the stuff to fix it. Need to get some minor odds and ends but, it should be a fun toy!!!
