there's a Cobra R on Ebay going for 35k...
i guess if it's that hard finding the parts, why not just buy the car right?? |

Where did you see a real cobra R, haven't seen or heard of one by me in the midwest.
There's a youtube/streetfire video of a guy who took a 00 GT and dropped in a fully built 5.4 lightning engine in, the damn thing sits almost as high the roof of the car, and sounded amazing! |

i'm not sure if a loan for an 18 year old with almost no credit would be too cheap especially for a 35 thousand dollar car, plus insurance might be a biotch.. lol
but if i did have the money that car would be sitting in my drive-way by next week!!!! |

its been done, the lightning engine in a mustang also works but it sticks out of the hood a TON with the blower and such... like a foot out.
