Story of this 97 cobra

[BajaBoy]

I guess its time i can finally post my 97 up here. I bought it two years ago with a spun rod bearing.. Ill let the pictures tell the rest.

Pulled the pan, bearing could have been replaced but i'm not a fan of the Bhead 4v :bash:

Out with those black saleens! PG needs some flash to brighten up the overall car

Built this for the track.. not the quarter

Hello 5.4! you're quite dirty looking. (This is before i put the final dress on it)

Right after tune, cars first and last pull's. Didn't really put to much effort on runnin up the rpms or shifting it. That was against a modded 335i

WOW.... Im speechless, nice work, nice freakin garage dude

 

[DSG2NV03]

Stance is perfect.. well done!

 

[yuke175]

just curious, dont know much about intakes, but how did you make that intake? how did you know which specs would perform well?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Wow that thing is sick!!

 

[Jsko]

Yea the stance is perfect on his car. Too bad you never got the S281 spoiler on, I think that would finish it off nicely. The car feels great, and pulls hard.

And as I always mention, very happy with the work done to Cobra.

 

[nitrojunk]

wow nice cobra .. where in NJ ? Im in Union County

 

[Lazered98]

Chrome Saleens FTMFW! Car looks good man. One of the best looking PG cars I have seen IMO.

 

[pacific4v]

Awesome looking PG man! Any more pics with the black saleens?

 

[KzooMuscle]

Take the spoiler back off. Looks great and job well done tho Sir! What kinda numbers are you putting down?

And what did you do with the stock hood? I'm in the market for a stock cobra hood. LMK!

 

[lafeva]

Wow great job saving it that is an awesome car! Nice work!

 

[dumbstixlars]

I'll never understand how Saleens can look so good on 94-98 SN's, and so meh on 99-04's. Beautiful Cobra man!

 

[dutch]

One of the best looking, cleanest SN's I've ever seen!

 

[CJK440]

That hood is needed to clear that intake?

 

[Mi-Cyn]

Very nice project, looks great.:rockon:

 

[Chrome98Cobra]
