Where are you located? What power did it make on the 91 tune?

 

[unlgrad2002]

Edited post to show Kansas City area. Not sure about the 91 octane tune as it's been on E85 since I bought it. When I get a free weekend I'll take it to the dyno and find out.

 

[Seabee_Mustang]

Nice car!

 

[TravisJW]

I don't like silver, but that looks really nice.

 

[unlgrad2002]

Couple updates. Turns out the 91 tune was not a full performance tune so never dyno'd it. Recently replaced plugs and air filter and running as good as ever.

New pic below after a thorough cleaning and price is down to $23,000. That'll cover the cost of a plane ticket for any out of towners!

 

[unlgrad2002]

Sorry couple more.

 

[unlgrad2002]

It's been a while, anyone have any feedback for me? Priced too high, poor color choice, still early in the season etc? I also have it on Craigslist and get nothing but lowball offers. I know you don't get a 1:1 payback on mods, but a little surprised by the responses.

Appreciate everyone comments!

 

[BUZZN]

Not sure if i missed it but who did the tune? Im in the KC area and if this is still around when i get back from Afghanistan in a month i would like to check it out.

 

[unlgrad2002]

Justin Kalwei (Justune). Sounds good, safe travels.

 

[unlgrad2002]

Well unless I get completely duped in about 3 hours the cobra is sold. Anyone care to guess the price we settled on? I know we always like to know what "true market" price is on these.

It's only as low as you're willing to go.

My guess....$20k

 

[cobrastrike4]

my guess 18K

 

[03cyborg]

Shouldn't be less than $20k. Looks like a nice ride for 50 something thousand miles.

 

[unlgrad2002]

Not bad guesses. $22K.
