Default Gone to the dark side (pics added)

Well, I sold my Formula and my DD blew up so I had the opportunity to get a new ride. I found an 03' Cobra with 30,000 miles on it for 23K in mint condition. Never modded, and obviously a weekend driver. I've always admired the Terminators and after 2 F-bods I figured I'd give one a try.


I have to say never having ridden in one it's a blast to drive. I still have a soft spot for Fbodys though.

Funny how one says going to the darkside going from a camaro to stang or stang to camaro etc. I owned 7 mustang and I went to the darkside when I bought my 98 z28.

Sorry, I'll get some better pics when I get a chance. I just ran outside and snapped a couple. It's black with the two tone grey interior.





Here's the Formula...

Get some springs for it, then get an exaust, and some pullies & intake. You can get to 450 on a non-ported & pullied eaton.

H&R's for sure. Although if you plan on Drag Racing it or DD driving it much leave the isolaters in, that way your car wont bounce off the pavement as much.

Do H&R springs. My gf has H&R sport springs on her 00 GT and the stance is perfect IMO. Drives just fine looks great and awesome ride/feel.
