[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 8922028, member: 40530"] $14k for a 01 Cobra, youll have to spend another $5-6k to make 450-500hp and do quite a bit of work, and your final investment would be $20k if not more. Or you can buy a 03/04, do boltons, and get the same results, spending roughly the same money, with a car thats built better (especially motor wise), and worth more in the end, and would be more reliable to boot. In my experience, the car that is closest to factory will ALWAYS be more reliable. Plus that 01 is limited to 500hp or thereabouts until you build the motor (spending another $5k easy), whereas the 03/04 Cobra already comes with a moderately built motor and capable of 700-800whp with blowers, and even more with snails on the stock motor (from oil pan to valvecovers). If your goal is anywhere between 450-650, IMO the 03/04 is by far the better choice. If your goals necessitate a built motor/trans/rear end, then you might as well save your money and get the 01, since you will be gutting everything that makes a 03/04 Cobra a 03/04 Cobra and paying more for the initial purchase. Not to mention doing that sort of extensive mods to a car, you likely arent worried about resale value. [/QUOTE]
