Here's a build up on one over on the LS1 Tech web page: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/drag-r...lsx-build.html
This one runs 7.29 in the 1/4
If you one eyed Ford blokes are squeamish you better not look. :p

Don't have an issue with the engine swap, it was the Mustang beating the 300Z down the mountain that stretched reality.

Ok another one . http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=1244ACAF52DC This is something I like . Is a car belonging to somebody on the forum ??
Don't tell me it's another one of those dreadful DBR shockers . LOL JOKE :eek:;);) They all look the same to me .
Although I did sometimes wonder why some car had more "ROAD PRESENCE" than others .I always thought it was somethimg to do with colour or wheels and tyres .

Not a fan of that style of sidepipe - looks very wrong IMO. Not an easy fix either as they come out half way up the car. The G-force has been around for a long time too and I reckon has a very nice shape, although some think its a bit low at the back. They did do a kit based on a toyota crown chassis once upon a time.
Cheers :) |

Yes I agree ,the side pipes are less than perfect . Does anybody know the car?

I don't mind this car at all. I've seen it around and it has great street appeal. It is one of the good shapes and has the bonus of a 5.8 windsor.
I'd change the side pipe and wheels but it is a great base for a newbie to enter the cobra world. |

Gforce was the car that started my love of these cars they had a beautiful Green car in thier advertising with lots of chrome in the right places and i was hooked!!!!
Love yellow cars but this isn't a good example!!
It comes back to..... buy Built or buy to Build!!!The buy built option i reckon people still end up spending at least a 1/4 to sometimes a 1/3 of their purchase price whilst owning the car and fixing the things that erk them then the obligitory performance upgrades.

Take note of the last comment - OZCOBRA is spot on.
I bought my Cobra built and then proceeded to spend nearly half the price fixing / changing / fine tuning the bits I didn't like.
Once realisation sets in that you are simply throwing more and more of your hard earned dosh into a snake pit you need to stand back and say THAT'S ENOUGH!
That's where I am - after 5 years!
Still not 100% happy, but who is:rolleyes:

I don't think of myself as a one eyed Chev bloke. I've owned mostly fords since I got my drivers license. The last 2 vehicles before my current daily driver were Fords (F100 4X4 and an XR8 Pursuit ute).
I just like the design of the LS1 engine and stirring you blokes up :p. |
