Yea man, kinda wish my Cobra had t-tops, that would be cool. I wonder if anyone has ever retro-fitted t-tops on a newer Cobra. I guess everyone is too lazy to take them off, they want the one-button convertible.

So the new GTO vehicle weight is 3255...with curtousy of my new carbon fiber hood and light exhaust system. Currently in the mail is my new Circle D 2E converter along with carbon fiber hood, upgraded rocker arms, and trans cooler with aeroquip braided hoses. Gonna pick up my new 4"CAI w/ 100mm MAF within a couple weeks. Then ill bring it up to slowhawk for a quick retune.

You legitimately ordered that stuff, and it's in the mail? Post a pic of the carbon fiber hood. Order one for me too?

not gonna paint it... the whole car has gotta get a paint job at some point. Thats when ill decide what to do. And as far as money spent... Spent about 2200 on everything. Hood was 650 to my house.. converter was 1045 to my house. Rockers were 300, 150 for trans cooler and braided lines. Still gotta pick up a rear main seal

memories are priceless

you could also put the money in an investment account, or some other type of investment, or you could buy an N64 and I could kick your butt every other weekend in Goldeneye
