Default Please help on a 99 Cobra

Im in the mists of buying a 1999 cobra with 32,000 miles on it, it has
Navigator Power Heads long block
72lb injectors
canton oil pan'
hooker header and x pipe (off road)
spec stage 3 clutch
aluminum fly wheel
3,5 inch univer upgraded to disc blower
plasma booster
raptor shift light
inn.west 10% over balancer
Anderson power pipe
max ms subframe connectors
bassani exhaust
weldon pump regulator and filter
return style fuel system
aluminum drive shaft
steeda short throw shifter
ati pro charger
brembo rotors and calipers
HRE wheels with BFGoodrich Gforce TA tires. Front has 265/35/18 and the rear has 295/35/18
5 way adjustable tokiko struts
lowering springs
373 gears
boost end fuel pressure gauges

It only has a 5-speed tranny in it, and I was wondering if I needed to upgrade to a 6-speed tremec tranny, the car puts out 640 Max horse, & 588 Torque?
I know the place the work was done at, and he is a reputible guy, Is there anything that I should look at before I buy this car, Thanks a lot

there is no means of needing to put a 6 speed in there. It would help to stay in the power band. Make sure you know what the history of the car has been through.

put it on a lift to make sure it has not had past frame damage. Then check if the hood lines, door, trunk and any other lines are straight. check for oil leaks. check for new clean parts.

On top of checking the lines to make sure everything lines up, I would also ask the guy if you and him could take like an hour trip around in it. I have had people I know buy a car and about 2 hours at the most of having it they startedto hear noises, and it started to run ****ty a little while after buying the car.
