Hello everyone! Brand new to the SVT forum! I currently own a 2018 Camaro, but for several years I have wanted a 96-98 Cobra coupe, and I decided now is the time to start searching with a little more haste.
My question is, what kind of mods and upgrades should I consider as essential for these cars, and which are optional for my intended usage. For reference, I do not plan on AutoX'ing this car or taking it to the strip, I have my Camaro if I want to go fast. I want a car that can look gorgeous, but still be fun to drive, and not any danger to society.
My current list of things I will need to address are as follows;
Brake Pads
New shift knob/short throw shifter
New battery
New engine seals and gaskets
New engine filters
Catch can
Subframe connectors
Lowering springs
Sway bars
New tires
Big brake kit??
Control arms??
New bushings??
I have seen others state that the T45 can be problematic, and recommend a trans swap, is that popular?
I am open to any and all opinions and thoughts regarding what I will actually need, and what will not be as important for cruising town, and feel free to chime in with other things you have loved on your own cars!
Thanks for the warm welcome, I hope to be sharing a new-to-me Cobra with you all soon!
