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.

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

Don't tell me it's another one of those dreadful DBR shockers . LOL JOKE 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

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

I just like the design of the LS1 engine and stirring you blokes up .
