99 Cobra..

[Tbuck07]

So if my car sells this Friday..I balanced it out to where I can get a 99 cobra with 56,000 miles..and afford it. Ins will be around 190 a month..car payments 180..I pay 160 for my car for ins now..and 200 a month car payments..

I'm just wondering..

I can probably get this car for 9,000 dollars but..

Is it worth it? I know these are pretty stout cars..It has CAI, exhaust, etc..but I hear it runs 13.8 in the 1/4..? I'm pretty sure my car before the PI swap ran like..14.2, maybe 14.1. That doesnt seem very fast..

Its a very clean car..and I want a newer mustang. And seeing this one for the same price as the GT's out there just made me think..What do you guys think?..

i dont think there are that many differences between the 99-01 cobras and the regular gt

um.... 2vs per cylinder... lol.

Thats about the going rate for a decent shape 99 Cobra.
its a good starting platform.

The old 4v and IRS I'd say are pretty big. Id rather have a 2v for my budget, if something happened, I couldnt afford crapola for that cobra motor. But our opinions arent going to mean anything... ive seen you flip flop more than a rainbow factory.. haha.

 

[sbr420a]

i honestly didnt think they were 4v. go figure. but i knew the irs was shitty.

if it equals out to be the same $$$ snag it up man.

 

[Tbuck07]

Damn..I dont know what to do..

 

[sbr420a]

just keep your car and get some credit/money and get a termi.

I dont go in a straight line... guess I shouldve mentioned that. haha

 

[Tbuck07]

I dont knowww..It seems like a great deal..but then maybe I should just get a 99 GT for 7-8 grand and boost it..Idk.

Why not just do that to the 97?

7-8 grand for a Gt + 2-3 grand = pointless

you'd be better off buying the Cobra and putting on bolt-ons. or just waiting a little bit longer and boosting it. much more potential.

 

[Tbuck07]

I'm tired of my 97 tbh..I like it..but Im tired of dumping money into it

Those 99 cobras cant be turboed can they? And is it aprox 4 grand to throw an eaton on there?

 

[switch96]

13.8 seems a little high, you should probably get a couple more tenths out of it.

 

[ARdoller]

do you have collision on your current insurance plan? if youre buying it from a stealership, you'll be required to add collision onto your policy while youre paying the loan. hell, i wouldnt drive a car without collision period, especially while i still owe money on the car, but thats just me. but i cant imagine youre paying $200/mo for liability. i pay about $85/mo full coverage, so i dont know what your situation is.

The 99 can be easily Turbo's or Supercharged like any Mustang.
Don't waste time/money with an eaton on a 99/01 Cobra.
Just slap a Vortech on there and enjoy the 450 rwhp it will easily make.
