Get the cobra and junk the IRS for an 8.8 conversion. A cobra like that with a solid axle 8.8 conversion would kill.

well with only 2 responses i feel more towards the s/c now,lol considering i only have 7400 in the car(including the car)

10,000.00 in mine. Bought my car at 20,000.00 Now at 30,000.00 you can buy a stock cobra, but my insurance is still cheaper and I just enjoy watching others in more expensive cars as I pass them in a race.

What more expensive cars are you beating in a race? What mods? How do you have 10 grand in just bolt-ons. Your blowers not installed yet according to your sig...

I have beetin Audis, BWMs, etc that are more expensive then my car. Except the Audi A6 and A8, BMW 5 series and above My dad kicks my *** in them. Thats prior to all this extra goodies that I have sitting around in my garage. As of now I have at least 10,000.00 invested in the car. Unfortunatly non of my parts are installed yet because of me being in Iraq for the time. :-( But yea, I don't have 10k in JUST bolt ons. Only so much I can do from 3,000 miles away. But like I said, I enjoy racing, and I enjoy a good sleeper. Just me.

I see. I was thinking more along the lines of v8s, but yea some of those cars are more expensive. Watch out for some of the Audi A4s though. AWD and a turbo is no joke.

Be careful over there and be sure to post up when you get all of your parts installed.

Thank you. Oh and I plan to do a full video post and put it up on the forums on the install, the dyno, the numbers, and the track! Oh yea, to anyone even thinking of taking on an Audi A4 or above in a street race, you better pray to have at least 75 or more ponies then he has, and a straight road ahead of you.... When it comes to taking corners and turns and pure grip on street tires, very few can compare to Audis. Unfortuanlty, my GTs stock suspension just cannot compare, and thats why its getting trashed for something better! :-)

Mylongvictor - get home safe - so we can see the vid!!!!

I'd rather my IRS then a 8.8 axle... because you can beef up the IRS to eliminate wheel hop

see this thread...
