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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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