ya know.... for that price you could get a cool car

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Guess a 04 cobra convert ain't "cool".......?

Whatever?

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Joe is selling a VERY nice Cobra indeed, but me, I need a warranty at this price.....done fixing shit.

All the way through Nov 2009, If I break it THEY FIX IT!

Gotta Love it!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

The link works off several other boxes, better put the jiggle on your Cat5 a bit there Thomas?

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Its cool... but for 30 grand you can find a nice mid 90's 911 or alot of other nicer cars, although they wont have that low of mileage on them.

Good luck with the test drive!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Again I wanted a sports car that was very clean, unmolested, very low miles and under a full bumper to bumper warranty.

For the next 3 1/2 years if I ever have an issue with ANYTHING on this car it's the dealers problem!

400 stock HP out of the box should get be able to propel this old man across the street in time for dinner if need be I reckon?

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

that is a premium price.

looks like a premium car though :)

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

I wouldn't buy a vert. but thats upto you.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

With having a warranty already you could still get a extended one to go with it.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

I guess verts are a little heavier, and aren't a good fit for roadracing or the track.

If I was REALLY DEAD SERIOUS about speed, I wouldn't get a vert either.

But I'm just gonna baby it and just want to just cruise with the top down and the music up.......:->

I just want to have fun while we can still afford to buy any more gas!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Looks nice, enjoy the drive!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

How was the drive? What did you think?

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

the link won't work for me, but I'm getting the idea it's a Cobra...?

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Sure that theory holds true for about a week after you get the car but once you get whooped on by a DSM or worse a Honda. The car bug is than going to chew off your warranty and your wallet.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

A lot of times driving a nice(r) car supresses the "must be fastest on the road" urge and allows you to drive away from a loss still smiling :) Not to mention, a 400hp SC Cobra will destroy 95% of the DSM's on this board.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Not as long as we are behind a keyboard, damn it!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Looks nice man, hope you like it!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Unless I read the thread wrong the Mustang Dyno'd 495/460 on a consvative A/F.

I think that is good enough to beat 95% of the DSM's on theis board if it hooks.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

495 at the wheels? Scratch the 95% and make it 99%.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

That was the modded coupe that he posted earlier. This is stock Cobra vert.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

I second that because my cyber space 2000HP ,13b turbo, rotary powered DSM, GTR with forged pistons will take any one on.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Well my expectations were really high cause the owner said it was in "perfect" condition, and "fast as hell".

Turned out neither was true.

The car had about 6 -10 good size scuffs here and there, <totaly NOT "perfect">.

The car did feel really tight, with only 7500 miles, and even I really couldn't get on it much with the owner riding with me, it only really seemed about as fast as my old stock 1G!

Anyway I walked away fairly unimpressed as a whole.

For $30K going to look into some other options, if it takes me a year to find something I'm really in LOVE with, so be it!

Thinking about maybe a C5-Z06, an Evo, a Grand National, a Supra or even a 3s?

Or Sti?

<Blonde, Brunette, Redhead,it's ALL good......:->

Any Suggestions? Looking for power and reliability! If there is such a thing together?

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Get an evo & throw $5k in mods at it, you'll be pretty happy!

Since you're shopping around, why don't you check out an NSX or even a used 911 in your budget? You might be surprised...

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Either the 03 cobra was bunk as hell or you didn't realize how quick they are. They are good 105-109 mph cars stock easily and with pulley and exhaust 119mph cars. Way quicker than a stock 1g.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

You know this may sound anal, but the only thing thats really keeping me from just buying an Evo is their <IMHO> boxey, boaring, eruo looking, flat backends, reminds me too much of my wife's Mirage.

But that's just me.....

The front side and rest of that car I LOVE!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

I'm thinking for $30k with what you're looking for the STi is the best option. They're fast, AWD, pretty reliable and most importantly come with a warranty. You can drive one in the winter without really worrying about it and of course have fun with it in the summer. Plus the uneven headers make it sound manly as all hell with a nice exhaust.

If you hear about chipping it though.... don't get your hopes up... the dealerships know when you flash the ECU.

An Evo would be nice too... they're pretty close as far as performance I'm assuming. I think the STi might be a little bit cheaper though.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

STi's cost more.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

Sorry I guess I'm thinking about the MR (that's the only Evo I consider in my head for some reason).

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

So what is quicker stock out of the Box?

An STi or an Evo XIII?

What costs more and is harder to mod, an STi I assume???

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

The crowd chants: EVO EVO EVO EVO EVO !!! :D

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

STi like I said you can flash it to get more power. Their ECU's are pretty weird though with their fuzzy logic learning crap. However if you're a man that likes to gamble (which I'm assuming since you're asking about modding a new car :D), they're super easy to mod obviously. You just get a cobb tuning flash tool (or borrow one) and flash your ECU and get about 350HP with a new turbo exhaust. These kits (including exhaust) can be had for about 1600 dollars from here... http://cobbtuning.com/sti/power-s.html#Stage2

Like I said though... the dealership will be able to tell you flashed it. I think the STi and Evo are about the same quartermile wise. The STi gets the DCCD obviously too, you would need the MR (I believe) to get this option. I'm a gadget whore... what can I say.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

STI vs. EVO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiCUdJhm4FE

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

What about a 350Z?

Between the STi and EVO, I say test-drive both before deciding anything.

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

^^ Thats what I was going to say. Then mod it... TT ;)

Buy a supra?

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

older people like the sti..less responsive, more comfortable over long hauls. if you want a car that handles on rails..evo. it's more responsive, a bit more nimble, and are easier to mod..sti's yea flash the ecu, but when you are taking some serious power..I am sure they cost more then the evo, and the evo is easy enough to do..hell, it's a take on all of our motors! anyway, check into a saleen mustang? I am sure it's a bit more, but the one I saw today in all black looked rather nice!

Re: Test drive tonight........:->
 

This MR might be a option?

He said they'ed go $35K flat, for a NEW MR with 11 miles and a 10 year warranty!
