Default The cost to play with the big boys!

Sold the Si for good change, and I am over over priced performence.

I am moving over to the Ford camp. I have prices for a 03 Cobra
through (friend of a friend) type stuff for 30,500 for the coupe and 34,500 for the rag top.

I think the price are good, any help with pros and cons of the rag top would be appriciated.

See you at the track!

welcome!

youll notice the chassis wont be as stiff, and is more prone to warping (from what ive seen) with the ragtop. But, if you're not going for blinding speed, the ladies love a vert

reguardless of which one you get, welcome to the dark side

I know that warping is an issue, but I was looking at the Kenny Brown structural braces and it looks like this might help alot.

Vert = more weight, and if you want to run at the track you'll be buying a rollbar at least... If you don't plan on taking it to the track - pimp the vert!
