nice theory, but what a cobra would cost him in the long run vs. modding his V6, theres no comparison. Setting up his V6 is actually cheaper and will blow the doors off a Cobra. After all the hype around this car I am actually looking for V6 to build up. Then I can laugh my butt off at the 30+k the guy spent on the Cobra, not to mention the interest you pay on that high dollar loan, the outrageous insurance rates, and then you still have have mods to think about. Logically speaking he has a car that paid for, invest another 10k and there will be very few cars that could keep up with him. The choice is rather easy if you look at the big picture. Not to mention the bragging rights you would have.

hey now ahah but lets figure this put more money into a cobra and will spank that turbo v6 all day!

PMP · 04-23-2007, 05:44 PM

ya and spend three times the amount in the process. The math is simple. We when we get it done and its cranking 600+ to the wheels I would bet my paycheck a modded cobra couldn't touch it.

FordGT08 · 04-23-2007, 05:46 PM

yeah but for the rich folks it doesnt matter and you can always make a v8 faster v6 have limits

so I can have something worth while for another 4-4 1/2 years.. lol
driving a v6 mustang with flows and a K&N really aint all that great

so I see a TON more mods I want to put into her to make it "worth while"

Beck · 04-23-2007, 08:42 PM

^* and I dont know if I'll even get a brand new one.. I really like this body style over the new ones.. I'm hoping to save up in college and just get a damn GT, give him my v6 tell him to do whatever with it, and then get the other car afterwards..

FordGT08 · 04-23-2007, 08:54 PM

so, you are 18, wanting to make a turbo v6 while your at college and then have your pops buy you something brand new when you graduate?

I guess part time jobs pay a lot better these days. LOL
