Bought a 01' cobra......Sweet
 
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:eek: ..........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:D

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? :D

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.

venumus93 07-13-2002 02:09 PM

Congrats!
 
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!
Keep us posted on your mods/kills!

Wanna trade? Hehe. I've got less mileage!!! :)

Seriously, that's sweet. Those DOHC Cobra's are monsters.

Dark_5.0 07-14-2002 02:18 AM

Nice to see you back Unit..........Thanks for the replies guys.

I tried to race a porshe carerra vert but it would not race for fun. The only action I was able to get was a El Camino I smoked him by 5+ cars and then he did a ricer fly by.

Thanks for the replies.

Glad to see you stuck with a mustang. :) Congrats!

BTW, Is it just me or does it seemed that $400-500 payments are the norm on new vehicles nowadays??

No its not just you.....They tried to stick me with $735.00 per month. I negotiated it down to $500.00 per month.

I know a guy paying $700.00 a month for 6 years on a 35th anniversary LS1 Camaro.

I will never waiver again Ford all the way baby.

Thanks
