Lately I have been thinking about a 03-04 cobra... So I was thinking about trading my 2001 Lighting with my current build for a cobra. I was gonna go ahead and finish up the project but I'm going to see what kind of interest is out there. This is perfect for someone who has finished up a project (your cobra) and is bored with it and wants to start another.
Here is the low down on my truck
Right now the mods i have on my truck are
Engine:
4 lb lower pully
Gator back belt
ported eaton(got it done locally)
CAI
Diablo chip
oil seperator
Dynatch longtube hearder
Silverbullet catbak
Valve body
Traction:
JLP traction bars
Interior:
touch screen cd player
two subs and encloser(the touch screen and sound system came with it when I bought it)
Gauge pod with boost and fuel pressure
Appearance:
stock 2001 Powder coated rims black
Powdercoated mustang bullit fuel cap
Reflexxion cowl hood (Custom painted)
carrige black grille
drop shackles, cut front coil, and removed one rear leaf
15 percent tints
I had the Lightning and SVTF150 emblem color matched to the theme of the truck

this was with the stock ride height.
Now here are some things that are wrong with it
It idles rough sometimes because the injectors are dirty
The bottom of my front ground effect is scratched up because when I first lowered it I pulled in and the curb was up higher than I thought and it scrapped it. Also it does have 80K on the clock and alot of it was from highway driving so there are chips and bings
I have one sub that is blown, I really don't mess with it because I'm more of a power guy than a sound system guy
Interior has some scuffs from the previous owner
Other than that the truck runs strong and sounds great. I get equal amounts of compliments on the sound of the truck and looks. When I had it dyno tuned it put down 410 hp and 438 lbs of torque. I took it to the track last year and ran a 12.9 with a 1.8 60' on drag radials and havent been back since
Here is the motor and turbo parts
I have a motor that is bored .20 over, ported heads, custom grind turbo cams, Manely rods and pistons, a t-76 turbo, an intercooler, a godzilla BOV, and a custom built sheet metal intake (looks so bad ass had it painted black too). You can build the motor now(its not assembled) but the turbo requires a few more parts, and the fabrication of course, to be done. I have spent close to 8K on all of the parts and machine work. In the end with it all done I was aiming for 800hp with 22 lbs of boost and race fuel, which it would have made that for sure.
