Lol yes yes, but I still need to get another car. Even if i chose to grab another WS6 from the states (im in canada) it would end up costing me the same. Similar mileage car and condition.

$19,000 of the same currency he's selling the snake in? Wasn't it $24,000?

Hell, I'd do it.

The local Zinc Yellow Snake is going for 28,000 Canadian Dollars. However, im more than confident that he will take a lower amount, without any doubt.

I've been hanging around the Terminator Mustang forums for a while and it looks like the majority of bolt on cars there are running around 450whp - 470rwhp with...

-CAI $200
-TB $500
-Pully $100
-MAF $275
-Headers/ x-pipe $1200
-Catback $500
-Dyno Tune $500

Basically around $3200-$3300

But like on Thunder Racing's web site they show dyno results where you could take a 01'-02' LS1 and get over 450whp with...

Cam Kit $720
UD Pulley $200
Lid $90
P&P TB $65
Long Tubes/ y-pipe $1200
Cat Back $500
Dyno Tune $500

Basically around $3200-$3300 as well. Seems like the Termi would be the best buy if you were planning on making huge horse power like 500-600whp right? But below that like an F-body or C5 Vette seems like a good choice.

Here's the dyno graph by the way for the f-body HP numbers...

Get the Cobra and don't look back! You won't regret it.

If you're local, I'll take you for a ride in mine.

I would say stay with the F-body. They are a lot more cheaper to buy than the Cobras (at least around here). Cobras do sound and look nice though, but not worth the extra cash IMO.

Just to make things clear, my close friend just sold his 03 Cobra. Very quick car BTW.

CAI (K+N) $300
2.8 Steeda pulley w/idler $250
Diablo canned tune $399
FM CB $600
TR6 plugs $50
Gates belt $45

472rwhp/451rwtq ($1,644)

They don't need a MAF, TB or Full exhaust to break 460+rwhp.

I was about to post the same thing. I pulled 475 RWHP/500 RWTQ with upper/lower pulley, intake, throttle body, x-pipe, cat-back, and a tune.

I spent about $1,500.00 on it since I got a few of the parts used.

Still up in the air about everything. Saw a ws6 last nite and really made me forget what these cars look like when they're out on the road.

As far as hp goes, I was originally gonna do bolt ons and keep it very clean. Then I started to look into some mild cams such as the TR224 that is ever so popular. I like this cam because I dont have to rev the crap out of the motor, and would still be OK on the stock rod bolts.

**Briefly to go off topic but what can one expect rwhp wise, with full bolt ons, TR224 and whichever heads are the best for this particular camshaft?**
