Bought a 01' cobra......Sweet

Dark_5.0 · 07-13-2002, 01:08 AM

Traded in my truck today for a 01' cobra.....Went out on the drag tonight and was 2-0 against LS1's.... I had them by 4- 5 cars to 110mph. This car is fast, way faster than I thought it would be.

I had a group of LS1's following me all night, but after I smoked there friends who were not stock they backed off.

A friend of mine just came over and "gave" me a set of Mac longtubes for it. I still have the air silencer in and it is way faster than my 5.0.

What do the 01's usually run in the 1/4.

Im pumped,

Crazyhorse..........I was actually going to buy an LS1 I seen one on this car lot and I pulled in so I could check it out. The salesman comes and ask me if I wanted to drive it and I said hell yes. It was fast and pretty nice but it squeeked and rattled every time I hit a bump. I ask the salesman what else you got, He replied we have a 01' Cobra out back, I test drove the Cobra and my search was over. They tried to rape me on the price cause its a Cobra and I am young. They told me they would let me have it for $735.00 per month

..........4 hours of intense negotiating later I drove the car off the lot for $500.0 a month.

It only has 7,000 miles on it. The term "Buying hapiness" applies here.

SWEET!!!!....can I drive?

I think MM/FF got a 13.2 out of the 01 Cobra with lots O wheel hop.

polara7777 · 07-13-2002, 09:37 AM

Too sweet man! Wish I could afford a Cobra of any year.

I almost got a 98 Cobra once. Black on black. Oh it was so nasty. *sigh* Ahh well always the future.

MustangKelly96 · 07-13-2002, 11:34 AM

Sounds like an awesome car.
Congrats

Mercury · 07-13-2002, 11:50 AM

I think the fastest time MM&FF got out of it was a 13.12. Could be wrong because my memory sucks.

Congrats on the purchase man, sounds like your ONE HAPPY CAMPER, I know I would be.

Gears, an X-Pipe, and a Aftermarket shifter...You'll definetly be showing them LS-1's whats up.

P.S. Could you hear them rattle and squeak as you pulled on them, or as they followed you?

No I couldnt hear any rattles or squeeks, but......I did hear some gear grinding as they powershifting trying to keep up.

I have gained all kinds of respect for the 4.6 mod motor. I am even thinking of selling my 5.0....

Tonight I am going to try and race this guy in a 96 or so Viper.

I am about to remove the air silencer in a minute, and as soon as I get $200.00 I am getting the headers installed.

Nice purchase man!!

Solid axle, some 4.30's and that exhaust, you'll be low 12's!!

RAGE_5.0 · 07-13-2002, 01:41 PM

I love the cobras. As soon as I get out of school and making decent money I am gonig to get a nice cobra. I really like the 94-98 cobras so it will most likely be one of those years but I also like the 99+. It all depends on how much money i wanna spend.

Congrats on buying a kickass car.

COngrats on the '01 Cobra, Dark!!!!! Welcome to the world of awesome SVT vehicles. The only way I would get rid of mine is if I could afford an '03...but now you got me thinking of the 01's as well! Way to spank some of the General's boys too, must have felt great!
