Just picked up a Cobra after 6 months of searching. I was set on either Oxford White, Comp Orange, or Torch Red but stumbled across this gem and couldn't pass it up!

1 owner, 100% bone stock, and 25k miles. Redfire has since grown on me and it looks amazing in the sun. I've added Pinnacle 15% tint all around, MGW shifter, and installed a Borla Stingers catback. I flushed out all fluids as well.

More pics to come! Thanks to SVTP for all the helpful information on these cars - helped tremendously during my search!

Congrats on your purchase and welcome.

Funny how the color we search for is often the color we don't purchase. I always wanted a DSG Cobra. Bought 2 Cobras and both are silver. Go figure...……..

Congrats and welcome. Any planes mods for it down the road?

Really wanting to lower it, that 4x4 status needs to go ASAP! I may be getting the MM starter box soon.

For sure - silver actually looks really good on these cars too though! Good choice.

Congrats man!

Awesome you were able to find a 1 owner Cobra. Usually these cars have had more hands on them than a stripper at a bachelor party.

Alamo Ranch area. I have yet to see or meet any local Cobra owners.
Your leg is going to hurt.

I installed a lot of wood floors when that area 1st opened. That road was a drag strip

There was a couple meets years ago
In that area

Not sure if that’s a thing anymore
Culebra/1604 outside loop
151. Biggs parking lot.

I think the same thing when I see stock height....otherwise, nice Cobra and congrats, gave up on buying a CO myself for now and picked up an '11 GT500 black, which will drive nuts keeping the dust off lol.

Very nice! Congratulations! As someone already said, you were fortunate to find a 1-owner Cobra. Redfire is definitely a great color, especially after it's detailed. You'll love the new look after you install lowering springs. Definitely do it...soon. Enjoy your new ride!

Picked up my 2 owner (both in their 60s+) 2 weeks ago. This is now the second time I have ended up with a color I turned my nose up too. The first was a one owner mystichrome with 50k in 2010, and the latest is a Torch Red 10th Anniversary with 30k. When the right car comes along you just know it.
