Just joined today..building a car using a Cobra's guts

Starboy · 11-15-2006, 08:11 PM

Hopefully I can get some pointers on how to optimize performance, sell some parts, and add a little bit when I can.
Bought a 99 Cobra at an auction and really dig the way she ran, but condition of body mandated a change.
Just following a dream.

welcome aboard!

So you plan to slap that 4v into another body then?

This is an old pic cuz I'm nearly finished. Building a 65 Replica of a Cobra from FFR.
I feel at the heart it's still a Mustang. I've got some parts of the car left that I'd like to sell, but I have to post a bit more to prove I'm worthy.
Mind you..I respect the site and am not posting just to meet the requirements. I only post when I run into a topic of interest.
FWIW- it seems rather combative around here and at times a little disrespectful..., but that all comes with the territory.
I'll add when I can and shut up when I must.

LOL... this place aint that bad. a lot of posters on here have been here for quite some time, we definatly have formed a bit of a community here and there is a lot of hazing that goes along. But it is just friendly joking. I'll admit, the maturity level does drop from time to time, and ill admit, ive been guilty of that myself. Hell, just look at my sig. Were always looking forward to new members here though, it does help to take things with a grain of salt on here.

Man, that is awesome! Ive never seen a 65 cobra replica in the stages of development, i bet she is gonna be a beauty!!

Well ill bet you will have a lot of good things to add, you certainly seem to know what you are doing!

as far as the post thing in order to list things on classifieds, it really just helps reduce the spammers. there are several people on here with thousands of posts i'd never buy from. I can see how that rule is a pain in the butt, but hey, im just a poster.

personally if i was going to sell anything i would just go on craigslist.com.... that way yer dealing with local people, less chance of a scam cause you usually do the exchanges in person.

Welcome to the site. Nice project! There was a guy on another board that built a cobra replica using an 03-04 terminator drivetrain.

Starboy · 11-16-2006, 08:08 AM

I have followed his build (to my knowledge there's only one finished, but several building). He's got a great video of his dyno that maxed at 437hp. That's a ton of power for a 2600 lb vehicle.
I don't plan on that kind of power.
I just did the Ride of a Lifetime over at TMS and it gave me a whole new respect for NASCAR. I used to think it was just driving in circles. I haven't cussed that much since high school.

GREG@SN95 · 11-17-2006, 07:52 PM

cool kit car...

welcome...

It ain't that bad here... we only joke... just don't take the stupid crap we say serious...

machnjo · 11-17-2006, 08:07 PM

Welcome.

It'd be cool if you could do follow up posts with your project. I followed the Yellow SN65 project quite a bit. Its nice to see what people can do.

Starboy · 11-19-2006, 06:56 AM

Will do.

*venom* · 11-19-2006, 07:44 AM

There is a member that has an 03 Cobra on a kit car, I think his site is Cobra4me.com .

Starboy · 11-19-2006, 09:09 AM

Sergio and I have traded a number of emails.
He's provided alot of insight for me on my build.
His dyno video is great...437hp!!
