before i sell my car....

03gtmonster · October 25th, 2011, 11:46 AM

Ok so im selling my GT to get a cobra BUT before i do so i wanna do one last mod to chop a tenth or so when racing my friends new 97 z28. Its between an aluminum drive shaft or rear lower control arms. Im leaning towards drive-shaft cause it seems maybe a little more appealing when selling her. what you guys think?

Why sell it? Why spend more money into it? You wont get what you put into it back out of it.

03gtmonster · October 25th, 2011, 01:25 PM

i do realize that but it will only be a few hundred bucks. and i need to ensure that i win again my friends Z. --its a long story, but i need to win=]. any help would be great.

oh an im selling it because im getting a termi next spring and dont want to winter store it. (i live in Michigan)

I live in Canada hahah. Gears can help. But less people will want to buy it because they think it will be beat on. The more mods, the harder the car is to sell. Or at least thats how it is around here.

The new lower control arms will help you launch better and should give you a more planted feel.

I would look into the control arms. Depending on the amount you want to spend maybe get a lighter k-member

He already has 4.10s

Get the control arms. You will be able to launch better and harder.

95mustangGT/SVT · October 26th, 2011, 11:21 PM

Would the dive shaft be the same on the GT and cobra? If so then you could take it off before selling the GT and put it on the cobra. I think you will get more results from the control arms though.

Get both. Then put the driveshaft in the cobra. If your buying the cobra you should be able to afford both.
