Default Well, I am wanting to sell my SS, talk me out of it.

I want a Whipple/KB Terminator. I know, I know, I'm being a ****** for wanting to do this, but damn. I have been doing a little research and have found some sub-30k mile Whipple/KB Termies for around $25k, which isn't bad considering they are making over 600rwhp.

Thing is, my SS is in MINT condition, seriously, its in great shape and runs like a champ for a 112k car, no SES lights, nothing, just a perfect car. Garage kept, has been rained on 4 times in the past year, thats it. However, I will sell it for the right price.

So talk me out of it before I post up pics for sale and make more when the weather clears up.

Why not just modify your SS and kick the **** out KB Cobras instead? Don't get caught up in the dyno number bullcrap, most of those Cobras are heavy tanks and don't run nearly as well as their dyno numbers indicate.

I hate the SN95 Mustang interiors and shifter position. I had a '96 and the interior just plain sucked and felt small.

Why don't you just put FI on your SS? Or upgrade and get a C5 and do the same to it?

They are nice cars and look good. I heard a saying that 03-04 Cobra's are for the mechanically declined lol. If you get one go solid rear. I'd go with twins if it was me.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You actually think a 112k mile is mint. Nobody will pay you what you think your car is worth. Problem solved. Just keep it. I ran into TONS of people with that attitude on this site before I bought my '01.

Get the Cobra. The Cobra might be heavy, but once you start adding intercooler, supercharger, pipes, etc the weight on the SS goes up quick.

Damn man, you're in Alvarado? I'm just next to Midlothian, would love to see that LS1 Stang.

Nine Ball, I agree with you 100% on what you said.

Well, I think I just need to get a heads and cam car. I already have my LS6 intake.

As far as being a traitor, I'm speed loyal not brand loyal.

Well, I think I just need to start modding the **** out of the SS. I already have my LS6 intake and planned on getting a Torquer V2 with accommodating mods next week. Then heads, then longtubes. Thanks for the input guys! I appreciate it.

Go test drive a Cobra if you haven't already. If you like it and want to sell your Camaro for one, do it. It's your decision, don't let others make it for you.

Well, the car in question IS in Houston and seeing that I will be going down there this weekend, I may have to meet up with the seller and go from there. I already called on insurance, not much more than what I pay now. BTW, this particular car makes 627rwhp on a 2.3 Whipple.
