Just for fun what are your all's ideal setups, i.e. motor, trans, power adder(s), drivetrain, looks, ect....
Here's mine:

Motor- .20 over, aluminum block(forged pistons), fully ported heads(FR500's)

Drivetrain- Fuilly built T56, MGW shifter, Spec Stage 5 clutch, Aluminum flywheel, aluminum driveshaft, built solid axle w/4.10's

Suspension- Full MM suspension setup (tubular) mainly for going straight, all of the chassis bracing (streetable cage)

Interior- Full weight, some kind of Recaros, autometer lunar gauges, 10th anny boot, knob and steering wheel

Exterior- Stock front bumper, 01 rear bumber w/SS inserts, 03/04 rocker panels, S281 spoiler, 18inch Fikse FM/5 w/GSd3's(315's and 275's)f

Motor- Teksid block, 305ci Big Bore, fully billiet built with the best components.

Power Adder- Paxton Novi 2000, intercooled, 75-100 shot on top.

Drivetrain- Fuilly built T56, MGW shifter, DFX Cluth/Flywheel setup, aluminum driveshaft, built solid axle w/4.30's

Suspension- Full MM suspension setup (tubular) mainly for going straight, all of the chassis bracing (streetable cage)

Interior- Full weight, some kind of Recaros, autometer lunar gauges, 10th anny boot, knob and steering wheel

Exterior- Stock front bumper, 03 rear bumber w/SS inserts, Cobra RR hood, Fikse wheels with BFG's for the street and some Pro-stars with MT's for the track.

although I may want to paint it Sonic Blue too..either or. :coolman:

 

[wals9331]

Well my first step would be purchasing another cobra because i am only running mild bolt-ons with this one.

Then i would something similar to snake eyes "MAD MAN" setup

 

[Hepcat007]

Im fortunate enough to have my ideal setup for fun and thats the way i planned it from the beginning. Couldn't imagine having anymore fun with the car.....Well maybe some ET Streets would be nice

 

[SGL]

ideal setup

Buy an FFR Daytona coupe and tear apart the cobra for the parts I need and junk the rest. 500hp, 2,500lbs. Doesn't get any better.

 

[E. Green Cobra]

KB springs and bilsteins
18inch Roush's

*01 seats redone
*subframes

Well $$$$ reality set in and I am going to stay with a stock bore,I did order Forged Diamond pistons and Manley rods from John at MP today though.

I think I am going to just get my '01 heads and intake ported...I just don't think the Fr500 heads are necessary for my application,that being said I am still getting the Cam Kit.

I want this car to be a reliable,fun car to rip-snort around in on the weekends.It'll likely never see a track so this should be plenty of power and fairly bullet proof.


What do you guys think?
