cars not blown anymore, as you can see i had beaters up in virginia to drive daily but when i partnered the new company down here i was only given one parking spot, so of course one vehicle to drive to work.. so i took it off and sold it
ive put around 4k miles on the car since i've owned it and the duration of that it was blown. everything runs like stock no oil problems or leaks or anything, it's all closed up tightly.
i forgot the car has a JLT 4" cold air intake, 4.10 gears, 24# injectors, and if you want to throw another S-trim on it i've still go the dyno tune chip for it. Randy Haywood tuned it a very popular guy. Car was never beat on and rarely driven. Even now I drive it like a grandma, whats the point in hauling ass around town in a 10 second car? I know it was fast.
Car should run low 13s as it sits, with a blower an the fats/skinnies 10.7-9 if you drive well.
Car has a brand new gatorback belt in place of the 113" that was on, it does feel like it needs brake pads though. I'm still getting used to not driving it on fats/skinnies so I may be wrong.
Believe me I really regret selling the blower, but you can grab them w/injectors for $2k and under nowadays, I sold mine for $1700+injectors+maf in perfect condition. So buy this, throw $2k into it and you'll be running 10s again.
Even not supercharged noone has even messed with me at all, the car is loud as hell and sounds mean as shit. Nothing beats a 32v's exhaus note at 3300 when the IMRC's open up. Sounds exotic.
BTW; the car is BRIGHT red. One of the reddest reds you can get apart from Vette red, my old camera just sucked at depicting the color.

the blowers sold..gone..finito. been gone since before i moved to florida, a bout a month now.
port/cam the extra heads, throw some rods in, 116, a turbo/blower and run 9s..
97 cobras use everything the 03s use, BUT 96-98 cobras have the fuel system 99-04s need to run over 500whp
get some 03 rods/pistons for around $600 TOTAL, and the motors bulletproof
it's a Teksid, the Italian block, its far stronger than 99+ aluminums.. never heard of a Teksid splitting under boost
i tried selling it with blower and full setup for 13k and got no bites. 10k for a 97 cobra w/76k is a tiny bit below the norm $ wise, youll find them for 11k usually
