Default Might Be Buying A 03 Cobra???

What do you guys think is it worth selling my Camaro for?? Looks to be clean minus it being stolen. Which isn't to big unless it was damaged when stolen. Otherwise pretty good deal & looks clean! Has 70,xxx miles. Stage 5 clutch. 465 rwhp. Price is $11,900 said he could do $10.5

Thats cheap as hell. Test it out (compression, etc) before you buy!!! But if it turns out to be ok, go for it. With a simple blower swap and x pipe/CB I made whats in my sig.

For sure. Anything I should br aware of that was pretty weak with these cars?? Clutch, rear end, driveshaft etc. What pulley did you go with?

You should be ok if the engine checks out, everything is pretty stout with these cars. Just check the normal stuff that could break (Diff, engine, etc.). On the stock blower I went with a 2.76 pulley from billetflow (they give a good military discount). If you dont mind me asking, how is the condition of the ignition/door locks if it was stolen?

Check it out and make sure everything was fixed right after it was recovered. The price is good and really nothing goes wrong with them aside from some having an issue with the drivers side head. I do think you are aiming high for your car though, especially with the mileage. Low mile WS6s sell for 11,500. And I know SSs go for under 10 all day.

This. I have what we call a head cooling mod that keeps the drivers side head cooled properly. Ford realized their mistake with the 04s and revised the heads.

What exactly is this "stage 5" clutch he speaks of? Brand name maybe? Ask about that for sure.

Just with the smaller pulley(which the car has) intake, exhaust and tune it should be right around 460rwhp. He's stating it has 465rwhp WITH A STROKER. Sounds fishy. I would just hold off. There's always plenty of other Terminators selling for around 13k or so.

Seems shady to me , sometimes when things seem too good to be true , well it is
Another thing to look for is the rear diff leaking , without the proper bushing in the rear end thy will crack the diff housing when being launched/ draged raced
