Well guys it's official........
But first a small background on my Cobra....
I bought it back in 2/14/01 shortly before my first Son was born 7/4/01!!
I had been looking for about 4 months!! All the ones I found where literally beaten to DEATH!!!
Shortly after the usual mods began, heads, cam, headers, rims. 175 hp nitrous, drag radials, clutch, etc....then I sold the nitrous and installed a Procharger
And daily drove it for 4 years. One day on my way to work, a freak storm/rain...whatever came down and I hydroplaned and ended up with a busted rim, fender and some suspension damage. One thing after another turned into a COMPLETE REPAINT!! 2 days after taking my car home, just as I arrived to work, the bottom end let go. I built a fairly stout 347 with forged internals, repaired the head and polished or painted everything I could at the time. To tune it I took advise of a good friend with a similar build and bought and installed an AEM EMS and ditched the MAF sensor and went with a 3.5 BAR MAP sensor.
After a year of working on it when it was all said and done it pumped out 480hp and 462 TQ with 8 psi!! I ended up getting carried away and had a 6 point Roll bar. WORST THING EVER! At least for a daily. So the car has been pretty much only made it to a few car shows here and there. I've only driven it for almost 1500 miles since being built. Now the combo is old, gaskets starting to leak. So out it must come out regardless. By now I have added the Maximum Motorsports catalogue I the rear and had the front ready. I just came across a deal I could not refuse.... And I didn't....
I bought a totaled 07 GT500 complete, and running. The body and frame are useless. But the engine,Trans , and diff.... Untouched!! Pullied,and reprogrammed, with carbon fiber JLT intake, Dynoed at 574HP
So now these two will be coming together to make ONE modern, and more capable, powerful COBRA!! I've heard of several people attempting this with theirs, I haven't been able to find any pictures or documentation so I guess I might be the first..... Stay tuned.... Many pictures to come.
Comments are welcome but let's keep this positive. I love my SN95 COBRA and I will try my best to honor this model... Thank you and wish me luck...
