$20K+? Mine was $38K. I guess everyone assumes cars are bought used.

Oh Lord...clearly the guy is clueless about his own car. The stock clutch
is good for about 450rwhp...for a while. It can't even hold that for very long.

Excellent. I was pretty sure it was def not good to that much. When he told me he was buying it I asked if it had LT's on it and he said he didn't know. Wow.

You're right, I did assume, because I didn't know Cobras were made in 2010 so he could purchase a new one. And, my assumption of "20k+" was correct.

Kthxbi

IF the Cobra makes 500+, I'd put my money on him. Except in the 1/8th.

HOly crap..........given his mentality, I want to change my answer to.....he has no chance no matter what. I have a hard time believing he knows how to drive that thing if he tells you that along with the clutch thing. HOly crap.

All the idiots get the cool cars, and I'm stuck with nothing.

I think from a dig you would win handsdown and you have a good chance from a roll too. I raced one from a roll the other day and he beat me by 1 1/2.

It has all the wrong mods. The car is working against itself. Why do I get
the feeling that people here think $20K is a lot for a car?
It must be the younger crowd due to fbodies being dirt cheap now.

I agree.....even given my situation I still think $20k isn't all that much. Hell, used gt500s are going for mid upper 30s around here. That's pretty cheap IMO.
