I'd rethink your decision man, keep your car and get a forged bottom end...

2500~ plus retune for 500+ WHP. Not only that, but it will be a heck of alot faster than a 500~ WHP cobra.

Edit: You also have much better transmission/clutch/rearend setup than a stock cobra. Something to think about.

Probly worth every penny of 22K but problem comes in trying to find a buyer. If you trade it at a dealer the mods will count against you. Very nice car tho and the cobra is a good pick, if you sell the chin spoiler hit me up.

Like I said though, the mods add little if anything to the value.

Don't think I'm not sympithetic man. Hell, I have a TON of cash in the car at this point, and it really sucks to think that you will get none of it back when you go to sell it.

didnt code sell his wife's gt that was blown for like 15k. you are going to get your heart broken when you finally sell it for an amount waaaaaay less than 22K. I would love to do the exact same thing. hopefully you can find some rich kid like yourself who wants it

It's all about finding the right buyer, try advertising 22k with mods or like 17k without them...

Definitely depends on the buyer, Im sure they is someone out there that would want your car and pay a hefty amount for it.

The problem is like 2000GT continues to say... Your are almost positively NOT going to find that buyer. Mods 100% devalue a car, and even though you spent 10K, you are going to take a huge hit on the car. Most people want to know exactly whats going into the car, and are going to want to build up themselves. Cars that have been modded out like yours, MOST average people who don't know much about the cars consider your car a "Beater." Even though all of us know you took great care of the car, the average buy sees the mods and turns away because they automatically assume the car has been beaten on.

If you really want the Cobra thats awesome. But like some others suggested I would take apart the car, get it as close to stock as you can, and sell it. Then sell all the aftermarket parts and you will be A LOT better off. You will get more money for the car, and you will make a good amount of side money for the mods you sell helping to pay off that Cobra.

But again, the mods completely devalue the car. One reason why I am basically leaving my Vette completely stock with the exception of a few appearance mods and a catback, because otherwise a once $54K car will be worth nothing.

Good luck though with whatever you decide to do!
