Default COBRA SUPPORTING MODS

I noticed that these threads tend to drift off topic. I know the irs brace and maybe some subframe connectors would be a good choice...if i get this cobra what can i do to ensure longevity and reliability of this car?

regular oil changes, and staying out of wheel hop and you can pretty much expect the car to last a long time. Its a cobra... everyone beats on them sometimes or you would just buy a gt or v6. Just dont find yourself hot rodding around everyday all day long or you will go broke with tickets and car repairs. As far as mine, its been super reliable and i havent had 1 issue since i bought it about 2 years ago. 50k miles and its running strong.

IRS & Sub-frames a good choice...But nothing beats basic maintenance & a good tune!!!

Hey thanks guys i appreciate the input...I spoke with the dealer he's firm on 25800 thats just slightly above what i can afford...i mean i can sacrifice some luxuries of life...i dont know how happy that would make my wife but she thinks it Super sexy "" I told the guy i was in iraq and stationed out of texas and live in new york and no matter what it was going to cost me BANK to get it where i need it but he's relentless on that price. I just dont wanna let this one slip through my fingers. I think i read in 03 there was only 318 zinc cobra verts made...those are nice numbers as well
