Default I have been converted

Hey whats up everyone, this is kinda my intro thread.

Ive been an import and euro guy for a long time, own a 93 Rx7 at the moment thats going through a rebuild lol.

But today I drove in a 03 Cobra and WOW, it simply blew me away. Car is great in every aspect, looks great and all that.

So now when my rx7 is done it will be going on sale, im getting myself a cobra

hope to have a good time on this forum.

lmao cool man.

I wanted a supra myself but after a sour deal with one, I bought my cobra and I'm damn sure glad I did.

RX7 is a good car though, wenkel is a great design, minus the sealent problems.

a terminator, or 03 cobra, is the coolest mustang ford has put out in a while. the block and internals are good for 700 wheel while the block can hold even more. although i have to say the wankel is a good motor, not as reliable but makes tons of power. one thing i have to ask is, how heavy is that little 1.3L. i heard somewhere that an ls1 swap over a wankel would decrease the weight by like 30 lbs? is that true?
