Default Nice ride I worked on today 03' Cobra.

Today I got to put an alarm in an 03' svt cobra with the blown engine. I am in no way a ford guy but I can appreciate a car such as this. The car was just purchased by a kid from an old man here in cs and it had an honest to god 2408.6 miles on the odometer. I saw a few mods and intercooler and an aftermarket pully and exhaust. It really was a nice car it was sonic blue. I have a built lt1 and def would be smart enough to not screw with this one ford. Sad part is I have seen kids such as this in the past and this car definitely does not stand a chance at a long life. I'd like to hope I am wrong though. It would sure be a shame to kill it. The guy was extremely nice though and it was clean as a whistle.

Well hopefully the guy will treat it with some respect...One of the few Fords that deserves it.

Sonic Blue looks awesome on those cars BTW!!

I stopped by my local Chevy stealership a few times to drool at this black 2006 z06 that was in the parking lot.

Few weeks later, a guy came in and bought it for his 16 year old son.

I can't tell if he really loves, or really hates the kid.

It depends from what I can tell and I have not had much time I think we have a few little gtg's on wed and thur nights but thats about it. On the side though there may be a lot more that hang out and just don't bother letting it be known.

Damm that describes every ghetto glider I've worked on around here in the last six years. Gotta watch out for those idiots and I stress the latter.

This Cobra in the Twin Cities has a stock long block. In the vid, it has a 75 shot out of the hole to spool the turbo.
