Need Advice On Cobras
Hello Everyone,
I just began researching Cobras a couple of weeks ago and want some advise from experience. I have already realized that I want a TKM (at least). I am not interested in building my own car. I am interested in something reliable that would be street driven but hold its own on the track. I have been told that a 351W with a tremec 5 speed and 3:55 gears would be perfect. My budget right now would be to stay at 40K or below and do not need a "perfect" replica. I am from CT and not sure of any Run and Gun opportunities although I have a couple of local manufacturers within driving distance. Any help, suggestions, or advice you could provide would be great. Thanks! |
You're in a hotbed of Cobra activity up in CT. Hook up with your local outfit and go to their monthly meeting or cruise. You can see different makes, take rides in different ones, etc. With your description and budget, go used. Check the ads here and on Cobracountry.com
Your local group can help explain why if you don't have at least 500 cubic inches, you ain't got nothin'. :LOL: |
If you got the motor we've got the roller to put it in... come in on Saturday and give us a look.

Definitely look at the Backdraft offering. Great car, all new parts (no donor car stuff that you don't know where it came from), superb service, lots of interior room, plenty of options. If you can not swing a new car, good pre-owned cars are always available here.
Meet up with Jay in CT. Just review his activity and compliments in the Backdraft forum here will show you he knows his stuff, and ALL his customers in the NE USA rave about him and his operation. Pony up a few extra bucks for the Roush engine, you'll love the combo + 2 yr warranty. |
There is a nice ERA on cobracountry for sale. I dont know the guy or the car but I have an ERA and you cant go wrong. Its a little out of your range at 46k but you may be able to negotiate.
