What do you think of this trade for my Cobra

IF you need a 4 door pickup, can't go wrong with that truck.
Looks great.
Looks great.
I would personally keep the 10th Anniv Cobra. However I am not much of a truck guy.
I had my GMC truck for 7 years. I sold it and bought the Lightning. The small cab was killing me. I was hooked on the boost so I got the Cobra. I really miss having a truck.
No.
I would keep the car but that is just because I am a sucker for the Cobra. If you need a truck its a different story.
Please explain.
Don't. I understand some people need a truck, but that isn't a "truck" for the typical reasons people need trucks.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but those motors do not have forged rods, right? At that power level, the short block is on borrowed time. As is the transmission.

I don't need a truck. I havn't had a car in 14 years. I've had nothing but trucks. After having the car for a while I realize I miss having a truck. On the other hand I like the boost. I had a lightning but the small cab wasn't cutting it. I think hat truck is still in the safe zone as far as power goes.
its 476/534 but your going to need a bottom end to do any higher than that. that shortblock is on borrowed time, especially with a whipple. why not go for broke on the cobra? the truck even with 500hp will have a very hard time keeping up with alot of the performance cars today, they are just past thier prime....this is coming from an ex lightning owner who now drives an 05 GT.
oh and F that for maint work. plug changes are things of nitemares....
THey dont not have forged rods but they can be run hard, just like the cobras it doesnt matter if you have forged internals if there is a bad tune it will kill your motor. As for the trans the one the lightning and Harley share is also shard with the diesel boys so its stout for a trans and can handle some powaaaaa
In that case, by all means go for it, its a sweet truck.
If it were me, I would find a way to keep the Cobra and buy a truck, but I also live in Wisconsin, you don't have the same vehicle needs being in Florida.
the taillights look like crap, imo
Yeah, no...........
yeah unless it has a built bottom end I would say no way. Also I had a lightning changing plugs really is a pain!
I think it needs just a couple more screens.
