The other night I got a Letter in the mail from Cal State Long Beach saying that I was excepted in. So then my parents were so happy that they gave me the choice in buying any car under $40,000. Lately I was thinking about the 2003 SVT Cobra or a 2003 STI Subru. But I can't make up my mind. The only down fall is that I have to sell my 12 sec. talon to help on the down payment. Oh well, what do you guys think?

TT Supra!!!!! for 40K you could find one with about 700-800whp.


Otherwise I'd go with the 03 cobra.


don't get a scubi - your DSM is just as good if not better. as far as performance goes. So there'd be no point in swapping. other then for looks.

Is that a grammar school, or a typing school? J/K man. Keep your DSM, then take the $40k and put it in an IRA. Over 45 years with an average of 8% interest, that $40,000 would be worth $1,276,817.98. Plus it would show your parents how smart you are. Or I guess you could just buy a car that would be worth half what you bought it for 5 years from now. Just my opinion. :stick:

Kenne Bell, the Twin Screw gurus, have done it again. Up to 617 RWHP vs. stock 366HP with stock cats, MAF meter, throttle body and injectors from ONLY a Kenne Bell Supercharger Upgrade kit and Cobra Cool Air Kit.



03 cobras are enticing

O3 cobra. When you toss the kenne bell on there and push 20+ PSI they seem to burn up the 7 and 8 pistons. If i got one i would just pullie it and regular bolt ons.

03 COBRA!

Actually Kiel is called the FQ330 and our MR is only comparable to the FQ300. Get the Evo and do a few grand in mods and you wont regret it, handling, speed, good looks atleast i think so and four doors. What more can you ask for. :bounce:

I've heard you can only get about $20K for a nut, so you'd have to at least give both
