Well the other week i hit black ice here in PA in my 97gt and totaled the car. Ive been looking around and i am almost set on a 2001 Cobra. This section is your guys territory, all new to me, what do you guys think?

Thanks,
Mike

pics? online advertisement? any more info on the car? 2001 cobras are nice, whats your budget?

Unfortunately my budget isn't to huge. Most im looking to spend is around 12 grand. I found a few that i like. Im looking at a silver cobra with 95,000 miles on it (i know its a lot of miles but it looks like its in decent condition) for $9,500. I also found a red cobra with 85,000 miles on it with exhaust, etc. for $10,900. It looks like its in really good condition also.

WoW....Both of them look great for the miles. IMO...I would go with the red one. But you cant test drive them both and see which one you like more. Also check both of them out in person.

Ill definitely go test them both out. I was leaning towards the red one also! Have you ever heard slp exhaust on a cobra? I looked around on youtube but couldnt find a cobra with just an slp cat-back. Just wondering how it sounds.

Oh, do you think the red one is lowered too much? It just seems like it might be sitting too low. Whats your opinion?

IMO slp sounds like crap (sounds like a pist off dump truck). Also the catback comes in like 4-5 pieces. I would stick with borla, bassani, mac or magnaflow. Both of them cars also appear to have suspension done on them....Well atleast springs.

From what i was listening to on youtube i didnt like the sound of slp either but i thought that maybe it was because of an x pipe or long tubes or something. IMO, the best thing ive heard on an 01 cobra is the borla xr-1 mufflers with an off road x pipe and long tubes. My jaw drops each time i hear it.
