Good info unit. Love the car. I was actually watching your video over again, and the video posted of that sick 03/04 doing that massive burnout, and the idea hit me... I have an '88 LX hatch and it would be awesome to have an 03/04 motor setup powering it. Weight wouldnt be an issue at all then. Looks wise it wouldnt be the Trans Am, and the interior and ride wouldnt be as nice I'm sure, but it would make for a very fun project that should move nicely. Lets see some nitrous pulls now. When are the tires coming in and when are we going to see some track times?

And it definitely is raced on the street. There aren't many guys running
9.0's at 155mph out on the roads.

Unit, awesome vid. Just curious, what's the reason in not going with a KB 2.4l? not worth it? Too much coin? Advantages/disadvantages? I know jack about cobras so i'm not trying to be a dick or anything.

cost brand new. It also included a custom oil spray catch can. The KB's
are known to spew a little oil from the snout. That's resolved with the
catch can.

that hard so a 2.4L is essentially useless for me.

Sweet video, man. That car sounds unbelieveable.
It makes me miss mine, though. I had to sell mine after only a couple months due to my health problems. I didn't even get to mod it or anything.

The mustang had to go so I would have money to pay my bills while I am out of school/work and layed up recovering from my surgery that's coming up. Probably gonna have to sell the truck, too. I'll be back in the modded muscle car game soon, though.
I'd love another cobra but instead I'm gonna go the cheaper route and get another F-bod. I'm predicting heads/cam/clutch/nitrous/12-bolt/nittos in my future.
