nice car congrats on the build

Good looking Cobra! Nice list of mods! Nice numbers! And it's a convertible with a light bar! I'd say you've pretty much hit a home run.

 

[05satinGT]

Nice mod list and number. Must be night and day from stock :rockon:

 

[Rygy04]

Massive difference.

I thought it would be more difficult to drive considering the increased horsepower. But with the clutch quadrant, firewall adj, shocks, springs, etc... it is much easier to handle and shift.

I can honestly say it is easier to drive hard now then it was bone stock.

Does anyone know what I mean? It is freaking awesome!

congrats man! i did the same thing just a email tune from american muscle. i hope to get a dyno tune to pull some more ponies out!

 

[Emwun Garand]

Overall, I like the look except the gas tank cover and the vanity plates.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. The extra power/torque IMO makes for a smoother and a more effortless power transition on the street. I always felt that my 457rwho/480rwtq setup was easier to handle/manage than the stock setup. Gotta love these cars! :burnout:

 

[Ukfox89]

what spacing do you have on your rear wheels? or offset and width of rim?

 

[03cobrah]

nice! lightbar looks really good on a convertible

 

[Ace5Oh]

Looks real good! Congrats on the numbers.

 

[Rygy04]

Thanks guys!

I am using a 1 inch spacer. It is perfectly flush with the front wheels and rear wells. The rim is a 17X10.5 AFS.

The gas cap cover is always a debatable opinion. I think people might like it better in person. I had long struggling debates on it. All said and done I have had tons of compliments on it and I think it compliments the car well.

Vanity plates are also the same debating opinion. Tough call but I see both sides once again.

TERMED has a double meaning for me because I am a commercial insurance agent so it relates to insurance. (policy terminating) and obviously it is a Terminator cobra.

Thanks for the input fellas. I appreciate it all regardless. I will take some cool photos of me cruising around my lake and under the hood soon.

Keep the comments comin!

I lied.... I meant a 1/2 inch spacer!

 

[1Bad04Mystic]

Nice man, always feels good to get some new mods done on the car

 

[Ukfox89]

I lied.... I meant a 1/2 inch spacer!

was going to say, holy damn a 1 inch spacer. i have been trying to decide what spacer to run on the back of mine. what brand did you use and did you have to run longer wheel studs? i also have the 17x10.5 rep wheels and it just doesnt quite fill the rear out enough.

 

[KINGCOBRA86]

Enjoy the new power, do you have any engine bay pics?

 

[Rygy04]

Ya I need engine bay pics.

I have yet to take some. My brother went out of town with the camera.

I used Paul's High Performance custom wheel spacer kits.

They are weld in and come with new studs. Track inspectors really like this type of spacer kit because the bolt on's are not always safe.

They required new lugs too.

 

[Rygy04]

And I did not put the light in the CDC style bar. I ordered it without.

So it is not technically a lightbar....
