you could get the cobra and buy a used centri blower for about 2k and make 400-450hp

Really how rare is it to find one? Could I just modify a 4.6 turbo? It would be like 1 more pipe right?

I personally would try and find a pushrod cobra!

so is this car going to sit outside on a college campus?

yea it will but it will be covered. I believe that cars are to be driven... hard. I have a great group of guys to keep it in great condition.

thats not going to stop a hammered frat as$hole. just saying...

theres no way in hell my car would be down here with me if i didn't have a garage to keep it in.

yes cars are meant to be driven, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't worry about keeping it nice either. if you think you've got everything on lock, then go for it and more power to you.

Well depends on what kind of Cobra you want. The modular Cobras do get better MPG and are a little more reliable than a pushrod Cobra. However the pushrod (5.0) Cobras will be able to take more power than the modular (4.6L) Cobras can stock for stock. The 4.6 is also easier to work with as far as tuning your mods where are the 5.0 is easier to work on, but not so easy to tune. So it's a trade off. Both respond very well to any mods you do, and even though the 5.0 Cobra is rated at 240 bhp, they can very easily be pushed up to over 300 rwhp N/A and 400 rwhp with F/I. Modular motors, after the basic bolt ons, to see real gains you pretty much need to go F/I.
