I sold off my 1989 Vortech supercharged 'Vert and finally took the plunge with a 2003 Cobra. It is a black 10th anniversary with 5,000 miles on the ticker. No convertible for me this time - too heavy and flimsy. I am like a pig in poop! This beast is amazing and the sky is the limit with the foundation on these tings.
Here's my dilemna: I have about $5,000 left over from selling the old mule (which was running high 11's, no slouch) that I can plow into the Cobra. So far the mods done by the previous owner are:
2.81" pulley (no aftermarket idlers??)
CAI
Shifter
Off-road exhaust and cat-back (not installed yet)
Diablo tuner
Spare set of 10th anniv wheels with drag radials
So help me spend my dough! The wife has imposed a 3 month moratorium on spending/modifying and I am half way through so I got to get my plan together to get it done before i go mad. Here is what I am thinking so far:
So anybody have any other ideas? I am using this as a weekend/fun car that I may occasionally take to work and to the track a few times a year. I don't plan on ever using slicks and launching super hard, so I think the tranny and halfshafts should last awhile (fingers crossed). I would like to keep it pretty streetable, unlike the 1989 Vert, which I gutted and made not much fun to cruise in any more.
All ideas are welcome.

- Line loc (already purchased, not installed yet)
- Kenne Bell supercharger
- 55lb injectors
- Dual Focus fuel pumps
- Heat exchanger
- Cooler resevoir
- Clutch/flywheel
- Subframes
- Wide band O2 sensor/guage
- Data logger
- Custom tune (of course)
