Feeler: WTT for LSX - 1998 Kenne Bell Supercharged Cobra As the title states just getting my feelers out there to see maybe if I can find something that suites, as much as I love the Cobra I'm just never going to be a Ford man. I'm interested in something with heads or cam or combination of the two. I'm only looking for a M6 or manual transmission no automatics (sorry). I will take interest in a very low modded car only if your willing to put cash on top of it. Specs on the Cobra are below along with pictures from flickr; on the 6# pulley it sees about 340-345rwhp and on the 10# it sees 400-405rwhp. Only taken to the drag here locally once and it ran a 7.97 on the 1/8th with the 6# pulley.
Car was professionally tuned by bamachips in Alabama, car includes SCT X2 with 3 tunes on it.
For those wondering this car is my DD and gets 25mpg mixed city/highway driving; filled up this morning and my mpg was 24.87mpg. This car is only running 6# of boost and is tuned very conservatively to ensure to keep IAT temps down from KB's non-intercooled compressed air (never see over 167 degree IAT's).
For sake of posting a value on here I'll say $11,000

Bone Stock Motor 1997 Cobra for $7000 FIRM, and you feel a Cobra with a MMR Stage 1 porting/polish (4V Stage 1 - $650) and a 1.7L Kenne Bell kit ($2000+, add on the cost to have it rebuilt by Kenne Bell) is in the $7000 range as well. Thanks but no thanks would defiantly keep the car if that's the case. I'll would pull the Kenne Bell and supporting parts before considering the $7000 range.

Nice car, and all, but no offense you're overpriced. I am currently looking for a 98-02 trans am, as I have had mustangs my entire life, so I know everything about them. The mileage with the tan interior, isn't worth 11k.
Being you do have a KB and they run around 3300(depending where you get them from) and you having 103k on the car. 9k would be a more sufficent price.
