Default New (to me) 2003 Cobra Ragtop! Pics...

Last week I sold my '99 Grand Prix GTP which I did quite a bit of work on (283 fwhp) and picked up a 2003 Cobra convertible. I absolutely love the upgrade in vehicles! Here are a few pics...









Here's the pulley I made for it, installed...

How do you like the GP? I had mine for about 4 years and made over 1500 pulleys for other people's cars (and a few for mine of course!)

no, my grand prix seems to be having false knock issues with the smaller pulley... common for gtps, i really need a set of headers, exhaust, and to reduce the gap on my spark plugs... also, my supercharger coupler im replacing this weekend, it rattles soo bad right now! but still, the car kept up with an lt4 vette, pretty well on the highway

If you're looking for a set of Grand Prix headers, I've got a brand new set of ceramic coated TOG's (The Other Guys) which are said to be the best out there for GP's. I meant to install them on my car along with a Gen V, different cam, intercooler, 42 lb/hr injectors, etc this winter but I went with the Cobra instead so I've got quite a few Grand Prix mods to get rid of.

looks good, thats a huge upgrade for sure! dont forget to get the cobra tuned before boosting it to much, the drivetrains worth 10k so you definitely dont want it to blow lol, what size pulley is that?

It's a 2.93" pulley that I made as the initial prototype for Cobras which works very well. I just installed an AFCO Pro-series heat exchanger today and am looking at going with poly rear end busihings soon to try to help reduce wheel hop. As for tuning I plan on heading to getting a tuner to play with over the long winter up here in MN.
