Alex L. Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 i just think a 'certain' other car that I have on my mind would be smarter for what I plan on doing. Cruising. I'm past frustration with this car. You know, I am accepting car donations for BPA. I THINK that I could accept your car as a donation. In all seriousness and like I've told you before, I hope that you seriously consider what you want to do before you do it. I know that the other car you've been thinking about is nice, but for fuck's sake, you've got a 700whp Mustang right now! Just make sure you do way more thinking than is necessary for this. I don't want to see you have any regrets with the decision that you make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GMoney Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 If it is a viper make sure you drive one. I have wanted one since they came out back in 93? I can now afford one and drove one and now i do not want it one at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 So the car is headed over to dynotune or what? I know Dover wanted to be able to do a lot himself and a shop can't provide that type of environment. I'd consider this one a favor, not a job.

2 Sweet Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 + another to whatever the count is of people telling you to keep the car. As far as badass cars go that are fun cruisers and look amazing while doing it, your Cobra is towards the top of the list, it's hard to do much better than what you've got IMO. That being said, it's your car and your call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 8 pages and no real info. what did the compression test read? Just me but i'd have been up all freaking night in the garage trying to figure out what happend as soon as it got home. sorry about your horrible luck with this car.

vnmous04 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 and this is why i love cobra owners +1,000,000 But think about this dover. Nobody is going to help you if it is a Viper......... Just joking. Also Cobra's are more venomous than a viper.......... Lets put some good file fit rings on it and some forged pistons and you wil not want to get rid of it..

Just me but i'd have been up all freaking night in the garage trying to figure out what happend as soon as it got home. sorry about your horrible luck with this car. If you read all 8 pages you would have seen that it is bad rings. No need for a compression test or a leak down when you have oil all over the passenger side and alittle oil on the drivers side. The spark plug was also covered in oil. This would tell us that the rings are bad and boost is getting by the rings. We are how ever going to do a leak down and compression test to verify before we pull the motor and put new pistons and rings on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) only if you powder coat the wheels black : ) dude its your money, but let me put it this way. I know what that is....not everyone you meet know you have a mental fast Cobra. It's just a bolt on GT right...?.........

Cordell Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Typical..............................., if that's what you want. Looks are a distant second for me, but it ain't me. I think you'd get alot more repect for owning the Cobra, it's unique and custom. Why would you want "Daddy's Viper", cause it's got 500 hp and a Borla exhaust?

wagner Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 ..... http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/allaboutwrx/P591602.jpg idunno? Keep the Cobra. Why get a car that you can only fit one more bitch in when you can get 3 in the Cobra? Think about it! Rings and Pistons for the snake and have a killer car.

sol740 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 if i do keep the cobra i want a comma in my dyno. Well that didn't take long. For whats it worth though, I think the Viper is sick. IMHO the better "cruise-mobile" if that's what you're going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be a "Dover Donation" thread. The idea being that everyone on CR donates 2 dollars to build his 1000hp++ cobra....i'll be the first to donate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
