so i drove by a car lot today and noticed a 98 mustang cobra w/ 68k miles i was like wow thats a sweet car... well i went to take a closer look and noticed its priced @ 15K... i was like thats not to bad but its out of my price range... then the sales man came out and it turns out he knows my dad n he said he could knock it down to 11k... well i what should i do? what would b faster?... my turbo'd v6... or this cobra?... p.s. this cobra is in amazing shape!... the only thing that bothers me is it has had 3 or 4 owners... so idk if there is something wrong w/ it... well guys what do u think?... should i go after the cobra?

Turbo 6 @ 8psi would > that thing....

And I've seen 99 cobras for 11k

mustang1072 · August 30th, 2007, 02:43 AM

i just checked out the stats on cars.com and i thought it had 320hp... its 305 if i was to run like u said 8psi w/ my turbo i would b @ 307hp and he weighs more than me

mustang1072 · August 30th, 2007, 02:45 AM

but if i was to switch the pulley on the s/c (make it smaller) would it make a difference in hp? it should right? lol

How did we start talking about superchargers?

HMUSN · August 30th, 2007, 04:54 AM

Buy the Cobra.

it has more potential.

itschristorres8 · August 30th, 2007, 08:12 AM

not that cobra...get one for much lower price...the miles arent bad but still

your looking at a 14second car with that cobra
at 4psi your looking at 14.5 about

Yep

HMUSN · August 30th, 2007, 08:19 AM

sorry I meant Buy A Cobra. not Necessarily That Cobra

02ponypackage · August 30th, 2007, 09:51 AM

01 Cobra for 11,000 easy...a lot more potential...i need a SC just to beat my buddies bolt on 01 Cobra...but let him get on the bottle or forced induction and makes the V6 look slow as hell...4V is just better

Nick_Rapitis · August 30th, 2007, 10:22 AM

kepp the v6 with all the mods you can be faster than that plus you'll save a load on insurance! a sleeper v6 that is as fast as a cobra would "wow" people more imo...i guess technically its a win win situation...but like h said, not necessarily that cobra...

Onemanzu · August 30th, 2007, 10:28 AM

i always see it as ... well ... smarter to fully rebuild a car that makes as much horsepower as a cobra then buy a cobra and not know what you expect...

v6 mustang -7k
new engine -6k
turbo -3k

--------------
Cobra - 11k
bolt ons - 2k
fixing little broken things - 1k

.....................

the v6 thats just as fast cost like 2 grand more but its all new and you know how its been beat on ... thats all im saying

HMUSN · August 30th, 2007, 10:30 AM

^ahem you planning on installing that motor and turbo and tunning it yourself?

Onemanzu · August 30th, 2007, 10:31 AM

you know it...

most of that price is a cushion for such needs...

but yea i would take a Sixer and 5G over a Cobra any day man... not hating on them just saying that i would want to know how my performance car was/is beat on before i through a ton of power at it

Nick_Rapitis · August 30th, 2007, 10:37 AM

+1^ either that or a gt with money for mods

Nick_Rapitis · August 30th, 2007, 10:38 AM

the money you would save for insurance would be mod money too even if you had no extra cash when you get the car, ya know

HMUSN · August 30th, 2007, 10:40 AM

To each is own.

fyi there are A LOT of hidden costs involved.

shipping, tunning, install, ect..

it's going to cost more than you think.

trust me.

I've already been there.

Nick_Rapitis · August 30th, 2007, 10:50 AM

yeah...its really a toss up...especially when buying a used car...anything could go wrong regardless of what the mechanic or carfax says...

02ponypackage · August 30th, 2007, 10:51 AM

yup ^ happends to new ones as well

Nick_Rapitis · August 30th, 2007, 10:55 AM

i would recommend since this is your first car dont go for the cobra...get something a bit cheaper and drive it for a while so you can fix everything thatgoes wrong before you put money into mods and stuff...gt's have plenty of power and a v6 is great for boltons and what not....just remember the price of the car isnt the only thing you have to pay for when getting a car...
