Default have you seen this 03 cobra with 8.8 swap?

Hey folks I haven't checked in on MF in a long time since when I had an 02 GT for short while. Anyways, I found a 2003 cobra for sale with a 4.10 gear 8.8 rear end swap, corbeau seats, a 2.8 pulley swap, exhaust, maximum motorsports suspension mods and tuner. claimed 440hp. The only drawback is that it has 57k miles, which seems like a lot on only a 2003.

Have any of you seen this car before? What would you pay for it?

they come stock with an 8.8 lol... im guessing its a Solid Rear Axel swap, i wonder what spline it is, 57 isn't bad for an 03, an 03 is nearly 7 years old, actually it probably is (you see people driving 2010s and its still 09 so it was probably released in 02).

I'd probably give 17-18k just because it has no IRS, some people prefer not to have it but i would think it would bring the value down a little.

28 spline i belive is stock GT, anyway how much are they asking? I think the stock cobra seats might be worth more than those corbeau's i bet its close.

Sort of weird, my friend just bought a white 03 with corbeau's and an SRA swap lol from indiana tho not cali.

Ya stock gt spline is a 28 not 27, The solid conversion actually decreases the price of the car (but it is better for racing since there is less to break). My buddy bought brand new corbeas seats for $650, he ended up selling his stock cobra seats for somethign like $1100.
57xxx miles aint that bad for a cobra, and that hp estimate seems a little conservative. Buddy put down 476 with a 2.8 pulley, jlt cold air, xpipe and dumps with a tune

and im the opposite, i think the factory cobra seats are a bad design imo. they dont fit well in the car and rub the interior parts and when i climb in and out of the car, i have to make sure my shoes dont rub the door panels ( i dont know why, but i never paid attention in my gt but in my cobra for some reason my shoe hits the door panel when i get out?), not or those issues with my 99 gt stock leather seats, but i will say the having the side support does make u feel like u r sitting in the seat rather than on the seat like in the gt ones.
