That's not a bad price.. a lot of 98's are going for 9-10k... The KB is down tuned... most cars like that would put over 400rwhp... but, that may not be a bad thing... It's just a matter of how much the Cobra was beaten on, and how much "juice" the motor has left... Get the normal tests and make sure the car is solid... basedo n the fact that blue book is around 8k and the car has been majorly modified you may be able to get down a little bit... maybe more then 200$ -

That many miles with a supercharger added at 107,000 [:'(].....all price considerations aside, I would stay away from it.

Actually I just bought that car in sacramento, I got it for 5k and its in really good shape. Motor, tranny and clutch seem solid. And the interior is super nice. The ad says it has 377hp but im pretty sure its alot more then that, the boost guage says 10psi and I have the boosta pump set at 30% and it Rips. One problem though, the boost cooler sys is all there and seems to be hooked up, but im not sure if its working or not. Because there was a little detonation, I added some of the NOS octane booster and it seems to have gone away.

Sounds like it may need its timing changed a bit......re-tune may be in order using whatever gas you want to run in it day-to-day (91 there I believe) just to be on the safe side.

It has alot of reciepts from kenne bell including a tune, and from snowperformance. It has their Stage 2 MAF boost cooler, it was disconnected for some reason. I hooked it back up last night and filled the tank with some boost juice and that seems to have totally cured the detonation. And yes I do run 91 with the NOS octane booster. I still cant believe how fast this car is, even with the bfg comp t/a tires on. Theres no traction in 1st 2nd and 3rd is kinda loose but not nearly as bad.
