I bought a redfire today

[cydewaze]

My paint actually started to peel off. It's at the dealer now.


As for the wheelhop, I have 2 of the 4 MM poly IRS bushings installed, and the wheelhop is almost completely gone. It now hops less than my 95 Z28 did. Can't wait to get the other 2 done.

Congrats on your car. I thought my 99 was faster than my 03, until I raced the guy who I sold it to I would wait for the KB, and see what the GT twin screw does.

What do you mean 2 of the 4 IRS bushings? I thought there were only 2 rubber bushings to replace on our cobras. Do you mean the 2 14mm bolt replacements?

damn nice choice in color. I never thought I would own a red car. Got a damn good price on mine and never looked back. Everyday I look at it, the color just looks better and better. I am getting ready to start the modding drug myself.

good luck and enjoy it. They are sooooooo much fun.:rockon:

Congrats on the Cobra. You will love it. Aftermarket exhaust is a MUST. It makes a big difference.

so it will feel slower until your reach that point and then it seems to take until 2 to 3k miles before it really opens up.

I hit full boost with 200 miles on - in fact I blew a hose off and had the dealer put it back on more secure. They were laughing their a--es off. I have no problem getting the boost to kick in.

Well today was the big day.I went down and bought a new redfire Cobra.I have been wanting one for a while but have been trying to wait until I sold my 93 cobra but when I looked at the redfire it kept saying

TAKE ME HOME.

so I did:shrug:

Overall I like the car but its tuff to tell with only 80 miles on the car.I will say one thing and I will argue this to my grave.

Stock for stock my WS6 is faster.I dont know why.Maybe I just got a fast one but it has run good since it was new.

OK I got to go now so I can go call Kenne Bell:lol:

Congradulations on the new car. Get a procharger!

I too am disappointed with the paint quality. I have a few nicks in front of the rear wheels and the clearcoat microscratches easily. Too bad, because I really love the car otherwise. I guess you just have to accept shitty paint on these cars.:nonono:

Good color choice, congrats.

 

[Copperhead]

I haven't had any trouble with my redfire paint...except when I hit that guardrail.

Congratulations on your car! At first I was sick that I didn't get a sonic blue, but man, the color grows on you. And now, I wouldn't want a different color.

It doesn't show dirt too badly like black, it doesn't draw the "heat" like torch red. And in the sunshine it glistens!

Enjoy!

Congratulations! The car gets faster. I was disappointed in my car at first (I've owned a lot of fast cars). But it got faster and faster. Then I tossed my defective cats, and it got waaaay faster. Then I had the warped S/C changed under warranty. Fuggitaboutit!

As for the color, let me beg you to try Blackfire. I used Zaino and the paint never lived up to my old Laser Red. Then I tried Blackfire. The results are outrageous.

For high res photos of how good your car can look (and mine is 1.5 years old!) and why I like Blackfire more than Zaino look here:
