I would like to see under the hood though. They were a little shady earlier on
by not disclosing some mods (ported blower).

I still say the 03-04 cobras look a ton better than the new ones and Im not to impressed with the numbers they have produced at the track becouse of the weight issues . I wish they would have taken a little more wight out of it for performance 
. all in all it is still a nice looking and performing car

It looks to me like you have about $10K into your turbo car and you're
nowhere near 10's yet based on the numbers in your sig.

Is it too much to ask for a friggin list of mods on this car? Pretty lame to post vids and times and ****, but not HOW it got to that level. This is a technical site, post some technical stuff!

Stock Longblock
Stock Headers
Mildly Ported Eaton
2.6 upper (13psi)
Off Road Xpipe
Custom Cat Back
JLT
Weight Reduction (but added a cage, so its basicly stock curb weight)
Big N' Littles
Gears
Tune
An 03-04 Cobra would need a twin-screw and AT LEAST 21 psi to accomplish the same thing at stock weight.

The car also has our full BMR 05 suspension line on it
I'm sure there is more in it judging by the mph....Lee Spicher

a) more displacement
b) more compression
c) cams
d) N20
e) a combo of the above
Lots of Cobra owners like to say they are pullied for say 17 psi when they're actually making 20+ psi. My Whipple pulley combo is "supposed" to net me 18 psi, but I see close to 20 psi routinely (21 in cold air).

Nineball - they've been very vague with the mods list. However, they listed some time ago "weight reduction" IN ADDITION to lightweight drag brakes, and ultra lightweight Bogarts. That's an easy 100lbs in brakes and tires.
I've said it before: I watched this thing on DR's run ETs tenths slower than untouched LS1 cars at the same track (Cecil) - stock for stock. I loosely consider it as no more than a 5.4 n/a Mustang GT - the weight negates most of the blowers benefits.
BTW - My car runs nearly identical times for a total investment, including car, of less than $9K

Factoring price of car as dealers cost, or manufacturers cost to build. Point is, you cannot buy a GT500 for sticker.

Now let's see some pics of that $9K beauty. I'm sure it's show car quality. Be sure to post pics of the odometer as well.
I'm still waiting on engine bay pics. I guess I'll keep posting that question
on every single board they ***** out their car on. I'm wondering if they
are trying to advance the industry, which generally includes sharing
information such as a mod list, or are they just trying to make a buck.
I'm thinking the latter of the two.
