I have an 01 cobra and I received a lot of great advice on what I should do to turn it in to a power house, including putting in an entirely new powerplant (forged). So I asked my father in law to see if he would help me and he actually changed my mind.

Let me know what y'all think of this. I have decided that in the (way) off chance that this car will one day become a collectible, I will only make minor mods such as bolt ons, tuner and new set of cams.

In addition to having this done, I will purchase another mustang (a true mustang lovers dream, having more than one mustang in his garage). This one however, 05-07 sixxer.

This car I will yank the engine, tranny, and drivetrain and put in all brand new mmr longblock, 6 speed, etc. The total investment (including the car) should run around 30k. Watcha guys think? Worth it?

I will also be putting cervini's eleanor body kit on it. The total

Do whatever you want. 2001 Cobras won't hold a candle (in value as a collectible) to the Terminator. I'd personally just mod the Cobra...

mfj has got it!! i would just mod the crack outta the 01 throw 30k in that think or if you have 30k sell the 01 and get a termi!! ya i would choose the termi!! lol

with 30k buy a termi, then throw a kb or whipple with the left over cash... theres your 600+hp toy. Or build the 01 block and throw a twinn turbo on that thing... a much harder route but ive always wanted one:P

I say just mod it!

ok lets put it like this you put 30k into you 01 fully rebuild TT set you wont get anything close to what you put into it!! or go get a mint termi for 20k add 10k in mods which will be a new sc and the car will be worth 25K or more if someone falls inlove with it!

If you have the horsepower bug, you should get used to driving a 400hp stock term so you
get used to the power,then build it up.

You don't want to go 600hp and wind up in a ditch.

Maybe he's talking about longterm? 4+ years? Still alot of $$$. I just picked up an 01 also and keep thinking I should have waited and bought the termi. Just my 2cents.
