Few mods I would like to change:

Thinking of swapping out the rims and putting the same setup I have on the viper. Iforged Astra's Brushed.

Maybe repaint it balloon white (Murci lp640)

See if one of the local turners can slap on a P1 or D1 procharger.


Ill keep yall posted!

I like your little Porsche Garret, when can we get some mods on it? Maybe a turbo motor and some 35's?



PS: What's wrong with Yellow BUDDY? lol white is so clean, good luck on the veiwing!

Damn, very nice. If you get it, you'd better bring it out to a few meets. I've been wanting to check one of these out for a few years.

Wasn't that one for sale on ffcobra.com back in '08?

I saw it over on the GTM forum. Looks pretty nice. Just remember its only a 2300lb car and rides pretty rough. Make sure the doors line up good and the windows seal well. Also check that wing attachment and see if they reinforced the rear hatch for its mounts.. Can't wait to finish building my GTM Good luck with the purchase.

The interior looks pretty good. The door panels are a little plain, but that's no big deal. I know the wing serves a purpose, but it's a little erector set looking. If the paint is in good shape, I'd leave it alone. Switch out the wheels and it will make a big difference.

I've been wanting to build an FFR Cobra for the longest time.

Damn G-Funk. Looks like that car will go back in time. Good luck. Do you get a blow up Paul Walker sex doll with the purchase?

Thats the best thing about this car. You can build it into a stripped down race car or an all out exotic. The final finish is all up to the builder..
