the left valve cover has a hole in it to put oil in the motor. its normally just a cap on your car its a breather and a cap!

 

[DEADLYSVT03]

on the top of the cap, it say K&N. so my guess would be K&N makes it lol

 

[PACIFICGREENSVT]

thanks!

beaustiful car, get us some more pictures and enjoy her. You've got a decent amount of power there, be careful and have fun!

 

[DEADLYSVT03]

do you think the car is capable of mid to low 12's with that kind of power? i'm only running 8lbs of boost

 

[96cobrakid]

12's shouldn't be a problem at all with traction. your 60' time will be key

 

[DEADLYSVT03]

thanks. i was wondering if the torque seemed a little low. does it to you. what can i do to make more?

ok, well after 1 year of looking i have found my car and finally bought it. i was looking to get another terminator, but decided not to. then i was up in arms about a 2003 saleen or roush. but i always wanted a 96-98 cobra. i just love these cars.

so searching around yesterday, i found exactly what i been looking for, and when people say its a small world it definatley is.

quick story, joe at mustang magic knows a guy santos. he had this beautiful 97 cobra that he bought new and kept it cleaner than anyone he knew. so when i saw the car and asked joe how the car is he said right away but it. so i did.

the cars mods are as follows:

Vortec S-Trim Supercharger 8 PSI,Satin finish.Mac H-Pipe and Borla Catback Exhaust,2 and a half inch Stainless Steel.3.73 Gear Ratio.80mm C and L Mass Air Meter,Cobra R Chrome Rims 17x9.245/45/17 Front tires,270/40/17 Rear Mickey Thompson Drag Radials,A- Pillar Gauge Pod with Fuel Pressure and Boost Autometer Gauges

the car dynoed at 453rwhp and 354rwt

i paid 19k for the car. yes, i know its a lot for a 97 cobra, but knowing that it came from a 65 year old man, who never abused the car at all, took great care of it, and knowing he would have kept it if it werent for a new 07 shelby, i rather pay the extra money.

Looks awesome. Need some lowering springs and its 100% done. I'd say FRPP B Springs.

Sometimes it's worth it to pay the little extra. That is one sweet Cobra!

Congrats man.......nice ride:rockon:

 

[Darksnake98]

Nice Find...:coolman:

 

[96cobrakid]

**** b springs, H&R Supersports FTW

 

[whitecobra98]

sweet ride...glad you found what you were looking for...sometimes it's worth waiting...especially when you really can't drive it this time of year....

 

[Shangsta]

that is a sick car

 

[GMKILR9050]

I love a nice clean black 97!

i feel the same way. i didnt mind paying the extra money. the dealer's manager even said he will call the customer and get all the receipts,window sticker, svt certificate and everything else for the car. ( they are friends, which alsohelps )

 

[Red98CobraStang]

Awesome man! But the 453RWHP is off. 8lbs, through stock manifolds will not make that power. You need some type of header and atleast 10lbs of boost.

My buddy has a 98 w/ IMRC deletes, oval t-body, SCT 90mm MAF, catted bassani X and a bassani catback. at 8 psi non intercooled he made 422rwhp tuned....

The torque looks very close tho. He dynoed around 370rwtq.

 

[Shifty Powers]

Thats a sick find there bro. i hope you enjoy it as much as i think you will. be safe man..

congrats
