[QUOTE="SN95SVT, post: 13910549, member: 158475"] I had the chance last year to buy a 97 Cobra from the original owner. It is a bit of a unique car as it is a low-option car (the guy only ordered the spoiler) and it has cloth interior. It is Rio Red with saddle interior, which makes it 1 of 13 built. Plus, it is 100% original and it only has 4900 miles on it. It was the classic story where the guy bought a lot of cars and did not drive them and I bought it at a fair price. I ended up putting new tires (factory correct/BFG) on the car and flushed all of the fluids at the Ford dealer before I put it away for the winter in storage. So, here is my question- like most of you on this forum, I feel the need to modify the car a bit to get the additional power that I am looking for. I am thinking of going with a new exhaust (more for the nicer sound), moving to 4.10 gears (for better acceleration) and adding a cold in intake. That is about it. I just have some reservations about doing this type of work to this type of low-mileage, low-production number car as it is a survivor. So the question is- should I do the mods or should I just sell it outright and look for another car I can play with a bit (maybe a higher mileage 03/04 Mach 1). Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thank you!! ERIC [/QUOTE]
