might be a repost idk saw it on ls1tech and thought it was interesting

So my friend brought his 2JZ COBRA over tonight.. - LS1TECH

 

hey i have those headlights

 

looks like a lot of money and time just for a stock swap. Wonder why he just didnt do a v6 or gt model anyway.

 

what a bunch of typical domestic guys, bashing it probably because they know its faster than their cars.

 

what a waste....they took out a 300hp cobra motor for a stock 2jz?? why not start with a V6....insted of having one less cobra in the world....whatever....

 

I like the swap really....I plan on swapping an ls1 into a fox coupe before to long so I don't mind it really. I just think that he should have modded the shit out of it before he put it in...Seems like modding a motor would be a lot easier while it's out of the car than doing it when it's in the car. Cobra's aren't exactly rare anyhow

 

because now its not like every other Mustang on the road and is still faster than any other stock Cobra and has shit tons more potential

 

The way he did it is much smarter since he cant really just buy a manifold or down pipe or etc etc etc everything has to be custom made for clearance issues. So with the motor in the car and running it is much easier to test fit and fab up things such as manifolds and such.

 

yea, that makes sense for sure.

 

well not really. a ton of people were complimenting it.

I think it's cool myself, but that cobra is a little heavyer than a stock supra (just a LITTLE, but still) and it's got a stock auto... it's very possibly slower than the stock 4.6 dohc with a t56 that it came with, which means it isnt even going to beat a stock ls1 fbody.


reguardless, it DOES have a lot of potential, and I think it's cool also. I would have choose a 6speed that supras came with but whatever
