Yeah its an expensive car and all, but I got into dsms because unlike Hondas they can go fast.Â* The only original goal I had was to run low 13s to beat Z06s and Mustangs because it seems when people get older they go blow their money on these cars because they can.Â*Â* I get sick of seeing 17 yr old kids driving their parents or their parent-paid for cars.Â* So yeah you earned your car by getting into school and all, but if your at a stoplight, I will still blow right past ya (unless your in your talon).
Leave the kid alone... yea I bet if your parents would have given you an '03 cobra you'd turn it down right? wrong.

And about you blowing past him at a stoplight - I dont know how fast your car is, but an '03 cobra has a hell of a lot more potential than a dsm. Spend $4000 and you have 650whp. Geting that much power out of a dsm would cost well over $10,000 in mods requiring an all new short block, new tranny, etc. I know Chris Carey just put about $11,000 into his motor alone and is hoping to get 550whp. Plus, the cobra will pull waaaay better 60's with the right tires and minimal suspension mods than your average awd dsm.

I'm not dogging dsms, just pointing out that the newer cobras are p.i.m.p. They are a much better platform to build on than your car or my car.

Congrats on the new car! Take care of it! [/b][/quote]
Its just too bad it costs 30 k to get into a new cobra. so with the AWD dsm i just bought that leaves me with 29,600 dollars left for mods! So I guess if you are talking about performance for the buck by cheap used car and make it how you want it. Thats in my opinion!!

Yeah thanks for all your replies.
I went to the dealership just yesturday. First I stopped a Ford since my Friends dad works there. Of course I checked out the 03 Cobra, they had so many that I felt as if I was in Heaven. I test drove a Mystic colored one. The inside of the vehicle was just as beautiful as the outside. It even had the same colored sets as the the paint. Anyways, my dad and I took it out for a test drive, of course I drove. That Puppy had so much Torque and the supercharger sounded so nice. I almost cried. I didn't want to get out. Then took it on the FWY and took it up to 150 MPH then the gov. chip slowed it back down. Went back to dealership and talked with my friends dad. He would knock off 7,000K of the Price tag if I bought from him. So total would be 30,567K. With down payment of 6,000k and monthly payments of $237.
Well I check out the other cars and I 'm not even going to type about that because I bought the 03 Cobra Mystic ED. As of right now I have it setting my garge. I'm about to take my friend out to thhe movies in a few.
Oh yeah I got to keep my 12 sec Talon. I couldn't find a buyer that would pay 8,000K
;) :toast: :lol: :beer: :drool:
As for 237 dollar a month payments, that would be around a 9 and a half year loan with 0% interest. on a 5 year loan with current interest rates you would pay around 18-20 dollars a month per thousand borrowed.

Your right I would take it, turn around and sell it. Thats my personal opinion, but like I said PROPS TO HIM FOR EARNING IT. My parents never had lots of money, I do. When my kids turn 18 etc if they earn it, Hell Yeah I am gonna buy them an expensive car. Thats just how it goes.

And as far as potential, for $30,000 and then investing $4000. I would love to see him try to read my license plate after a quarter mile.

Sumthin for nothing? The kid just graduated high school and got a scholorship to a college. That's something I'd say. Like you've never gotten a gift? geez man. Just cuz his is probably a more expensive present, you feel you gotta bring him down. And to whoever said they could build a performance car for far cheaper. Once again, I'm guessing this wasn't bought to be a project performance car. I'm guessing his parents wanted to get him a nice new car so that they knew once their lil baby left home, he wouldn't have to worry about having a car break down. Not to build a high power DSM that is gunna have all the problems that we all experience with ours.
