Default New Cobra!! DUW***

Well I got myself a cobra after selling the V6.
It is 1 of 292 True Blue Convertible Cobras ever made. True blue was only available on Cobras in 2001.
The only mods done so far are a few interior pieces from my V6, Clear bra on the front of the hood and 2.5% window tint. Yes I typed that right, it is freaking ridiculously dark, but awesome.
Oh and it only has 23k miles on it woot!

Go ride in a convertible on a warm summer evening and you will be saying Coupe what, convertibles are the only way to go!

Thanks everyone for the comments!

actually, the first 4 mustangs i test drove were convertibles. i love them. but my white one was a deal for 13xxx miles when i bought it. i still want a convertible, but dont want to spend money on the new cobras, and dont wanna get a convertable gt (waste of money)

if i could get a mach 1 convert, i would, but i cant cause they dont exist. lol

good upgrade imo.
no pics of the rear?

what are your future plans to do to it next?
do the 01 cobras have the same engine as the 03/04?, if so, its pushing approx 390hp, according to ford

Nope the 01 Cobras had the 4.6L 4V like the 03/04 but were naturally aspirated(meaning no supercharger) and were rated for 320hp and 317lb/tq.

there was a glimse of the rear in a few shots, lol.
here is one for you:

Great Upgrade. Lucky bastard!

Thanks, I am a big fan of it. It is really awesome looking at sun set since it has a metallic flake in it, it picks up a shade of green and purple in it, and just looks awesome!

Luckily, the guy im swapping the IRS with also has an eibach prokit. so since im going coil overs soon, i will sell you the prokit cheap.
my suspension will be semi complete. (full coilovers, derlin bushings, subframe connectors (they have been sitting in my basement since 6/7/07 as the receipt says)).

if you get wider tires, you will need to shave the bolt that is located near the tire. Replica wheels were never meant to be put on an IRS mustang. thought you should know that.

Yeah I knew about the bolt, except you don't have to shave the rear bolt, you can buy one that is like 1/3 as tall or something like that and it will clear 335's I believe.
