Hey guys im new. Not even sure if I am posting this in the right place? Anyways im looking into buying a 98 cobra for a daily driver It has a alot done:

1998 cobra motor- 4.6l dohc new aluminum block 03 cobra crank, pro manley i beam racing rods, diamond dish cnc pistons, supercahrged ground cams, heads worked over completely all new timing etc.. in rebuild 1200 miles ago, t-56 6 speed viper trans done by d&d, b&m short throw shifter, aluminum driveshaft, built rear end moser 31 spline alxes detriot posi, bauer slot and drilled rotors front and back 14" and 13", novi 2000 at 16lbs of boost, paxton after cooler air-water, wather methanol injection, 03 cobra radiator, corebau racing seats, 68k origional miles...and 6k worth of steeda suspensiion, sway bars traction bars sub frame connects etc..

478rwhp on stock timing and water-meth turnt all the way down and no ice in air to water box.



Will this be reliable If not driven like a maniac? how many miles? I mean of course Im going to get on it every now and again but not at every redlight Any Input would be greatly appreciated As i plan to buy this with in a couple of days thanks for taking the time to read this

 

its a built motor...as long as the tune is safe then you should be able to beat it like it owes you money. i would definately take it to the dyno and get an AFR measurement done just to verify the tune.

 

as long as you get it tuned, it would be a reliable daily driver.

 

thanks guys what is the longevity though I mean is possible to get 200k out of it? Also what's some preventitive maintenance besides the basic oil, air filter e.t.c sorry bout the 100 questions i ve never owned a car like this thanks again everyone

 

well....theres NEVER any guarantees especially when you start talking about a heavily modified car. but just look at the 03/04 cobras, those cars come stock with 370whp and are easily turning 100k miles after being beat to death.

again, assuming you get/already have a GOOD tune, that car should last you quite a while. even with a brand new car not running a supercharger you can blow the motor right after leaving hte dealership. theres NEVER any guarantees with how long a motor will last, but in all likeliness, you shouldnt have any problems anytime soon.

 

Thanks alot MU71L4710N! What year r6 did you get I just sold my gixxer getting too cold miss it already

 

lol read the sig a little better :-P. 2008 yamaha r6-s. i actually just sold it less than a week ago and i miss the hell out of it already. havent even gotten to ride much in the past few months but the minute it was gone i started getting depressed. don't have the payment now anymore and i got cash ontop so i get to start making the car fast again.

ill have another bike in the future but im getting a liter bike next time and the new r1's are just sexy looking.
