99's dont' say Cobra on teh rear bumper.The say mustang. The 96-98, 01, 03/04s say COBRA on the bumper.

The motor should be number marked along with 'SVT' somewhere.

it'll say SVT BUILT BY: and have two signatures on the left valve cover I think, its a pretty big badge and the signatures are the builders of the motor....

He's probably FOS on the price he paid. Traditionally "trying to impress" everyone, all the while looking more and more like an idiot. You'd have to ASK to be overcharged at that price and mileage for a 99-04. Hell, even S197s aren't going for that much.

if i saw this earlier, id say race him for the 20$- lose, then race him again for 100, easiest $80 youll ever make...

if you dont pull him by 2 bus lengths, its a cobra, and itll be 1.5 bus lengths

Sure sounds stock, gotta love the typical 15 second blur LS1 videos posted on the interwebs.."My car is stock watch me floor it a car length behind him against a car that isn't even racing."

You will win, but it won't be anything like that.

Loudest stock LS1 eva, must of been the BS factory god edition. Next time line up with him and give some sort of indication of when a race is going to start. A video starting with you already full throttle a car length behind and then staying in it till you're 50 car lengths ahead is just garbage.

I didn't see a race, but if ya say that is what the outcome should be. I guess we will take your word for it.

it did come with the "GE" package.. or "God Edition" for long.. also came with the option that i cant be beat my mustangs, DUH!

full throttle a car length behind... we were rolling at 20, i waited until we cleared a hill so we knew if any cars were coming..

i didnt see MUCH of a race, but i did see a race nonetheless..

H/C/I stripper.. that is what the outcome should be.... actually should be worse because i was on street tires, i 1/2 throttles it to 50, then 3/4 throttle till 65, then full throttle to 110 where i let out..

like i said, im stock.. down to the paper air filter..

Post something that's relevant to the thread, not a ricer flyby video of a heads/cam/intake stripper LS1 raping a stock 99 Cobra.

If it doesn't look like this




Then it isn't a 99 Cobra. That was my 99 I had a back in 2000.

ricer flyby.... i wouldnt consider that as a ricer flyby.... it was a setup race, and thats how it was supposed to happen... i cant help i make more than twice his power and weigh 600 lbs less...

if you were closer, i would show you my "ricer flyby"

No doubt you would have raped a stock 99 Cobra with your mods, but that's the worst setup race I've ever seen. If you go from a roll start NEXT to the car and give it 3 honks. Starting a car length behind the car and just flooring isn't anything to watch.

600lbs? 99 Cobras weigh 3400lbs, your Camaro weighs 2800lbs? I see you're e-challenging me to a race. Well, it would be a good race, I'm just in a little old full weight M6 Cobra with simple bolt-ons and a little juice.
