I would buy it lol. Seems like he could have gotten more usable power with a blower, unless he cranks the boost waaaay up I guess.

Nobody wants to pay 30k for a 04 Cobra like nobody wants to pay 40k for a 06 Z06. Buncha old heaps.

there is no such thing as a "sweet Lotus Esprit"

i looked at them long & hard for awhile.

a recurring theme was "this car a BRAND NEW REBUILT engine that cost $12/$15K"

i mean, like EVERY OTHER ONE had over $10k in engine repairs. just plain scary..

i think that's why that ebay ad talks about the racing heritage....instead of the reliability record...

That statement is an oxymoron. Example: hey man that's a sweet purple camaro you have there.

Actually 30K for this car is a steal. They sell for 30 with low mileage frequently.

Exhaust
-Currently is routed out the front bumper I will be giving the highflow cats from my previous exhaust.

do the seats & E-brake knob push it towards too ricy to command high dollar as a "mint" car?

Shane361 07-13-2013 07:00 PM

E-break is MGW which makes interior parts for Corvettes, Camaros, Vipers and Mustangs. Not cheap and have had a lot of their parts on numerous Mustangs. Far from rice in my opinion. Never been a fan of such seats but sure they hold you in place while racing. Curious how loud it is routed out the front bumper, def different.

BadBob's car has the exhaust out the bumper, sounds good.

snakeplissken 07-13-2013 07:51 PM

I'm a big fan of MGW. Based in Atlanta I believe. And I have Corbeaus in my track car. Not the best but a good bang for the buck.

Oh I agree, but some people think cars that old can't be worth that much.

Some cars are not, some are. In the Mustang world the Terminator has a cult following such as the Supra for imports. Built from the factory, easy and cheap 500rwhp. Twin screw is 600 and the block can handle it all day long. For the blue color worker it's a dream car. By no means the top dog but bang for the buck it's hard to beat. With only two years made there are getting more and more scarce with all the idiots wrecking them. Blah Blah we have discuss all this before. For the mods and the mileage he will get it...

ForceFed4g63 07-13-2013 09:40 PM

Shane' s got it right. Mid 90's Supras bone stock with low miles can go for upwards of 40k, they wouldn't be priced so high if people weren't willing to pay that much.

blkscls1z 07-13-2013 10:03 PM

I would take a 03-04 cobra over a 5th gen Camaro anyday!

snakeplissken 07-13-2013 10:10 PM

Yep, my law partner bought a '93 Supra TT from Gene Reed Toyota. New.

It was an auto but I regret letting him trade it in.

Now.

Shane361 07-13-2013 10:42 PM

Supra is a dream car of mine, def timeless.

GreebeanZ28 07-13-2013 11:29 PM

Meh. See one Cobra, seent em all. Lols.

Corvettes are also the most useless car on the planet.

You are right, they probably all seem the same when looking at the tail lights.:poke:
But really, its a following. Some people could line them up with v6 and gts and not know any difference. Different strokes for different folks. There's cars like that on just about every car manufactures list of cars.
