I knew this time was slowly approaching. About 4 months ago, my cobra became my daily driver and I simply can't afford it anymore. Car payment, insurance, gas, and oil change is costing me roughly $1000 / month.
I'm the 2nd owner. I bought it for $35k in summer of 2007 with 3800 miles and the whipple already on it at a stock 13psi. I've dumped roughly $6k in more upgrades since then. I upgraded to 19psi at about 6000 miles. I have babied the car and still I have not seen a cleaner cobra in person. Always garage kept. Most mileage has been put on in last 4 months (90 miles round trip to work...). It has only been down the 1/4 mile 5 times. My best run was a 12.35 @ 125 with a 2.17 60'. That tells you a lot... 1) I'm not coming off the line hard at all... 2) this car is easily a 10 second car. She really is a beast. I've never done a burnout in the car. I did all the upgrades so I could have some street fun, impress at car shows, and scare passengers and cars around me. :-)
Mileage - as of 1/24/09 - 15,250
Interior - Perfect

Stock halfshafts? 26 spline input shaft? Clutch? Any fuel system upgades besides the BAP? Thanks...
Stock half shafts. Stock clutch. Stock input shaft. I never had a reason to upgrade them since I never raced it hard or launched. Hilarious... I've never even barked or spun the wheels shifting. I granny pedal the car so bad...
No fuel system upgrades besides the BAP and 60lb injectors.

"You've got to be original, if you are like someone else, what do they need you for?"
I can attest to how clean this car is. I've seen it MANY times and the owner takes great care of it. Sorry to see that your having to part ways with it Jon.

Sick car, but why does everyone who builds a high hp car always say never beaten on.
Its the truth. After I put the KB on my car, I drive it less aggressive then when I was N/A.
More power = stronger mindset not to do anything stupid.
