Proud new owner of a Mineral Grey 01!

[ShadesofGrey]

I previously had a 2001 Bullitt that I decided to sell in the hopes of getting my dream car. The almighty "SVT Cobra"!
I spent 6 months riding a bicycle 20 miles round trip to work /using it as my sole means of transportation to get groceries, or do just about anything. The end result is I finally can say I own an SVT Cobra :banana: (Magnaflow Catback, M&M CC plates, K&N filter, U/D pulleys, tune, etc). I am still in disbelief that I got her for 10, 900 (48k miles!)

hmm

1. Thanks to all of you guys, you're very kind.
2. Why do you say keep the oil filled? Is that a common issue with our cars? To be honest I have been smelling more oil than I'd like so I better go check haha.

Love that color. Congrats on the purchase. Sounds like a great deal.

Thanks! Rims have got to go though! :shrug: :nonono:

 

[fastback brian]

the fittapaldi's are ok.. what other rim you thinking about?

 

[ShadesofGrey]

um

the fittapaldi's are ok.. what other rim you thinking about?

Ideally 17x9 black OEM stockers or 18x 9 black afs stockers up front, and 18x10.5 AFS stockers out back. But right now, I'm not really digging the Fittipaldi Force's that came with the car. If the centers were black I might keep them around, but they aren't lol. Plus Im running a 1 inch space out back with them. Not very good peace of mind.

Id be okay with other rims too, but geez the price for that wide of a tire is not nice :shrug:

 

[fastback brian]

black rims huh? till then, its a good looking car..congrats and take care of it..

Thanks! Rims have got to go though! :shrug: :nonono:

+1 on the rims.

Awesome looking car otherwise.

Once the stang goes i'll be a proud owner of a 99/01 cobra myself! :rockon:

Hey thats an old friend of mine's old car... car was BABIED. You got a steal.
I agree the rims are a bit dated, but they fit the car well IMO and look much better than the black FR's or whatever you plan on putting on. But its yours now... take care of it.

Well no one else seems to think they look good. Besides, the fact that I need to run a 1 inch spacer out back to make them look ok is troubling to me. Is he a poster on here? Id love to ask him some questions on the car. Did he tune out the traction control because its always off. Also, is the harmonic balancer on the car? I haven't got a chance to take the pulleys off and look. Did he ever dyno it? I agree a steal for sure. It was 12k out the door after taxes and regristration.

99's arnt bad...if you can get a good 99 i would...i like mine...runs just as good and looks just as good as any 01...it also had the "fix"...the only thinkg i want are 01 seats..other than that the back bumper really doesnt bother me...Nice car though man...looks great!
