[QUOTE="LS WUT, post: 16816944, member: 152454"] I agree with just about everyone’s advice on here. I must say though buying a low mileage car, all stock, the least amount of owners is a great thing. However like [USER=138337]@13COBRA[/USER] said. They’re still getting older now. Stupid stuff happens, even if you’re not racing the car, or driving it hard. Buying a sports car with higher HP and trying to think nobody got into the throttle isn’t really something I believe. I purchased my 13 from a dealership where I knew the owner, and he knew the original owner. Very well documented car. Always garage kept, never saw a track day, we even joked about the pointlessness of him having the upgraded coolers, etc. All I’m trying to say is I don’t feel like simple bolt ons would be the end all be all for a certain car. Almost any enthusiast who has a car like this does those things. Now if it had a ported blower, cams, things of that nature. I’d say yes, they were trying to squeeze every digit they could out of it. On that same token, look how many members on here have Whipple Blowers on their Cobras/GT500’s and done ever race them. It’s more for looks to them. Or maybe it’s the “well if I needed the power I have it” aspect. All in all, I wish you the best in your search, I don’t care if it’s a 1 Owner 5k miles, I’d still look at it yourself for a peace of mind. You seem mechanically inclined enough to see issues, and or hear them. [/QUOTE]
