After studying your before/after pics with the same wheels I'm wondering... was your V6 lowered a bit?

I have new 18x9.5 wheels and tires arriving tuesday and was wondering how much gap there will be... hard to find pics of cars with 18's and NOT lowered on this site. I plan to lower the car within the next few months but it's going to be expensive to do right (shocks/struts/springs/camber plates/panhard/adj lcas).

Oh yeah, you will LOVE the pypes mid-mufflers. good choice.

The GT is definitely smoother.
The T5 on the sixxer is just for cave men and the clutch throwout bearing is just, well, FUKKING NOISY!!!!!!!

Hope you saved the OEM front of the V6, so you can transfer your Cobra on to the new car.

the V6 was stock ride height, heres a side profile:


Sold the 6 to my brother, i would feel like an a-hole if i stripped everything lol. I'm pretty sure im going to leave the body on this one stock for now and just focus on performance/sound mods.

Wow.. those do look great at stock ride height!! I'll lower eventually but they'll mate us nice next week and for a month or two.. thanks for the pic!

don't sweat the front end... you'll enjoy modding the GT no doubt!
