  1. Lots of ways to tell but are you looking at it in person or pictures...? Some things to look for: The Vin should read 1FACP42D6Pxxxxxx for the 93 Cobra. D = Cobra P = 1993 Vin is stamped on the block and transmission case. The build date is stamped in Yellow paint on the radiator support. Other visuals to look for: Different front grill with running horse Cobra badges of course (drivers side faces to the REAR of the car) Different wheels 17X7.5 Rear brakes 10.07 disc (GT had 9" drums) SVO style tail lights Rocker extensions are different from the GT Rear bumper different Cobra badge on left rear hatch 4-pedistal rear spoiler/wing LX 5.0L stainless tips Shifter is a little different Cobra written on the factory floor mats Engine lots more but visually: GT40 heads (GT cast on the head) 1.84"/1.54" Cobra intake 65mm throttle body 70mm Mass Air Metere 24 lb. injectors Smaller crank/water pump pullies (Not visible without taking it apart) 1.72:1 roller rockers Cobra cam Recalibrated computer T-5 tranny has phosphate-coated gears and stronger bearings I'm sure I missed a few but those are the main things... If all else fails call 1-800-FORD-SVT and they will tell you anything and confirm if it's a "real" COBRA if you have the VIN.
  2. You are wrong.... It's like any other sports car. Who wants to own a Wrecked or Salvage title car of that caliber. Not saying this is a bad buy but people that spend $50-150k+ on cars normally want it perfect. Especially if they plan to keep it for years in a collection, they want a PERFECT ALL ORIGINAL car.... This would be perfect for a racecar build...
  3. That's because Progressive and Allstate both SUCK BALLS.... I would try State Farm if you can't get anything else. I LOVE USAA but unless you have a hook up, you can't get it. P.S....your driving record isn't the only thing that gives you high rates. A lot of places use your CREDIT SCORE and a few other things as a factor now.
  4. What was the original factory color?
  5. I can look later tonight but am off to class right now....

    Superhawk

    If you can't go WFO in first or second gear (20/40/60mph) on a Katana or Superhawk without it coming up, you probably shouldn't be riding...
  7. Get some ear plugs unless you want them to bleed from the D&D....
  8. The biggest problem is COST...$$$$$ You can buy a 2WD or AWD Trailblazer SS (with the LS2 already in it) for a lot less than what it's going to cost you to convert it. Not only that but why not get a warranty while you are at it. Or you could just sell what you have and go buy a new one. Invoice is $30k on a new 2WD stripper PLUS they are offering a $4k rebate right now so you could walk out with a BRAND NEW one for $26k...
  9. What is the deal with 997 GT3 owners letting people drive there cars and wrecking them. There was another one a while back with a RED GT3 and the guy took out like four cars at a AUTO-X meet... This is why I don't like people driving my stuff. It's not that they will wreck it but there is always the chance that it could happen and then what....
  10. Some of these responses are fucking SAD... I can't believe ANY of you (other than the jokers) were actually telling him to man up and pay it. He was doing her a favor FOR FREE, she needed a car and borrowed his FOR FREE. He could have told her to go rent one... IT IS NOT HIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR DRIVING OFFENSES COMMITED WHILE SHE IS BEHIND THE WHEEL REGARDLESS OF A MOVING VIOLATION. It doesn't matter if it's his car. She willingly borrowed it and accepts all responsibiliy while it is in her possesion....PERIOD! That's like taking your bud's car that doesn't have insurance and getting in a wreck and then the owner having to pay. You PERSONALLY are responsible for ANY VEHICLE YOU DRIVE REGARDLESS of whom owns it. So if you get a speeding ticket on a test drive, does the dealer pay.....hell no! Not to mention he was doing the work on her car at NO CHARGE. I would have just subtracted what a shop would have charged her for doing the same work from the ticket price. She'd still have to come up with money. She sounds like a needy unappreciating bitch that needs to STFU and fork the money over to get her shit fixed AND pay the ticket. The fact that she is trying to milk you a ex/friend, whatever...for help shows what kind of a person she is. Her coming into your work and flipping a lid is UNACCEPTABLE regardless of what happened. I would have taken the bitch outside and told her the hell off and to never ask for shit again in her life. PIIHB and walk away for good....
  11. And.... That TT-402 Vette would get walked HARD....
  12. It's a pretty old video but I can't complain. Anything out of Heffners is BAD ASS...
  13. It's a good time. I did the long haul back in 2003 and had a blast. Lots of racing at each event to keep you busy also...
  14. For what he could sell the stock motor/tranny for I bet he probably made money on the deal. Unless the OEM motor was blown up...
  15. Chicago has a ton of stuff going on in the summer. Check on Taste of Chicago and other activities this time of year. Otherwise you can get some cheap plane tickets to Vegas, Orlando, D.C., NY, etc...from CMH...
  16. Anyone remember the chick a while back on SVTP that wanted to buy a 03 Cobra and then put all the V6 crap on it to make it a sleeper....
  17. Kevin, Not trying to be an ass or anything but technically..... The 99 Cobra didn't say COBRA in the bumper. It was the normal MUSTANG bumper (like the 94-95 Cobra) with exhaust holes cutout. The only other differences are the tail lights and emblem. The 99/01 had the amber marker lights and the others didn't. 99 also has a different SVT emblem. No model year has ever had a snake anywhere but on the side fenders.... http://www.mustangspecs.com/carpics/99cobra6.jpg 99 was a bad year for the Snake IMO. It came with the regular GT seats, wing, bumper, etc.... They didn't change it enough like previous Cobra's and people were pissed. That's kind of what implemented all the difference with the 03/04's....
  18. I would recommend this with a 4-valve but on the 2-valve that would be the worst mod ever. 3:73's would be more appropriate for his engine/powerband...
  19. There are stupid sick idiots everywhere. Hell, wasn't there a local chick that drownd her kids in the tub..... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE....
  20. You are either going to have to buy a newer car and/or finance more money or just save up and pay cash for an older car....
  21. Check the property taxes before you do anything. The prices are going insane down there in certain parts....
