If you can get more than 20k for it like you say, grab it before the deal gets away. I was always told that when you mod a vehicle, you do it for yourself. on average, you are not going to get the money out of a vehicle ( car,truck,motorcycle etc.) that you invest in it.

And to the guy who asked, here's an underhood pic. It looks practically stock, most of the work was done inside the motor and under the body. I put the 42lb/hr injectors back in, and put the blower back on, redid the the tune/etc.




and for further info, I'd rather take a trade straight up, just because I'd rather not deal with the money issue. I've left alot of room to haggle, so as I said, I'd rather trade to a stock, or near stock car, I'm fairly tired of dealing with maitenence on a highly modified car.

As you guys know, or hopefully know, when you sell a car like this, you should really only take cash or cashier's check/money order, and at this point, that's kind of hard to do, which is why I would much rather have someone try and do a trade or something

Okay, I know your new and all, but why not ask what the car has and all before you start saying stuff like that?

Anyway, it's not like it's a stock engine or anything really

Engine - 37,000 miles

Stock block - .0020" overbore
Kellogg Forged Stroker Crankshaft - displacement 298CID
Mahle forged pistons and rods
Stage II ported/polished heads with oversized titanium valves
Comp Cams custom ground camshafts -turbo grind
Comp Cams valvesprings
MSD Ignition system


Transmission - 1,000 miles
Viper Spec T-56 6sp
Mccleod twin disc clutch

Rear - 2500 miles
Independant rear suspension from 2001 Cobra
Upgraded halfshafts
Detroit Tru-trac with 3.31:1 final drive ratio gears

Exhaust
JBA "shorty" headers
High Flow Steeda Racing H-pipe
Steeda Catback for a 2003 Cobra

Chassis - 87,000 miles
Fully race prepped, Full sub frame connectors
6 point NHRA & NMRA roll cage legal to 10.00Sec

Suspension
IRS
Tokiko coilovers up front

Vortech T-trim set up at 11-12 PSI boost,
Snow Performance boost cooler with safe injector and knock sensor/timing retard
Anderson Ford Motorsports power pipe
90mm MAF


And that's as it sits. I've gone through about three set ups, and that's nowhere near everything in the car, I don't have the build sheet near me, so I don't feel like listing everything.

Just because it's not flashy, doesn't mean it isn't worth alot of money, k ricer? it see's too much race duty, or it has, to be flashy/kept truely clean.

But I can see the stock rusty exhaust manifolds which leads me to believe the rest of the list could be BS.

WTF did you call me a ricer?

I'm curious. Why would you run "titanium" valves, but install Mahle pistons?

I don't need to see a dynosheet, I was merely asking a question as something on his list struck my curiousity.

I'm just judging by the pic. Stock rails, 42lbs injectors, MAF before the blower which all points to he is making under any hp level that would increase the cars value by $10,000.
