Hey, I have a buddy that has a 1997 Cobra for sale and said I could give him $8000 for it. It has 68,000 miles on it. I was wondering if this is a good deal. Alternatively this would not be my daily driver and im looking to maybe race it. Just wondering if a stock 1997 Cobra is fast and if this is a good deal.
Thanks!
***I put 1996 in the title...meant 1997***

thats a decent price for the miles, look on autotrader tho i've seen some for cheap recenty... might be scams though. Bramas they run more in the higher 13s. If you throw a set of 4.10 gears in it'll be a fun car.

That's why I put "maybe a little higher" in my post
I knew If I put 13.8/14 someone one come on say BS they run 13.5 so I tried to word it the best I could without being corrected
Plus I figured if I can run 13.19 with basic stock 4V and 4.30's and I suck at driving. I figured a real driver can go 13.5

I bought my 96 cobra about a month ago... It's mystic with 29,000 miles on it and I paid $8,500............ It's a hurting economy out there, and people are willing to go down on the prices of them.... I got him down from 11,000 to $8,500........ So get him down on it some more......

i ran a high 13.7, (13.79) @ 102 but i spun 2nd gear so perhaps its possible, i guess thats why i trapped 102, seems a bit high for a 13.7, 2.09 60' idk, 13.19 isn't bad with 4.30s, i was stock besides a mid-pipe and a muffler. What'd your 60' look like? the internet has em at a 14.0 which is slow.

So you ran a 13.7 with just a mid-pipe? (muffler does nothing lol) No gears or anything?
