Default Rode in a cobra for the first time today.

Hanging out on Woodward and got a ride in a Cobra this evening. Was pretty nice, making me miss all my Fbody cars. But,next purchase will be a sts-v. Anyways I had the camera with me and its been a long winter.

I don't know. Looks more like a WRC edition to me.

Go ahead and mess with them. Took a whole 5 minutes on them so I know they are nothing stellar compared to what I normally do.

Heres the same car



For reference my old car

I wish I woulda kept the pacifica, It was a 2wd and the exhuast ran right where the transfer case would have been. Tons of room right behind the motor for a turbo.

It rode amazing, but that is just a given because of the IRS. The dash being so far forward is def a different feeling.

I know the STS-V aftermarket is lacking, but this will be a daily driver. Its cheaper than the G8 GXP with brembos, classier and well, its a caddilac. After a tune/intake exhuast I will be more than happy with a high 12 daily. That is what I have been shooting for. My problem is finding them. I have seen them everywhere from 17k-35k still. I was going to keep my subaru and build up an fbody as well. But I dont have the space to start a build and I just graduated college, I think I owe myself a graduation present.
