I convienced her a Viper is more civilized because it has a top, windows, etc. So buy my cobra at my rock bottom price of $30,000. It's worth alot more than that. I spent over $6,000 in improvements and it good to go.

So do you always ask how high when your wife tells you to jump?

Just for the record, we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary last month. WOW! Hard to believe that myself. My wife would cost much muich more than $30K. She's still my chick.

The cobra was purchased 4/25/95 by the orginial owner. He drove it from his home to the golf course that was very near by and had only put 1025 miles when I brought it 2 years ago.

This 351 has never been dynoed, so the answer is - it could be what ever you want to build it to. The motor is 300+ hp so I would guess the rwhp would be about 12% less or about 264?

Oh, OK. I have seen 351s listed as 350-425 hp. i was inquiring what was the output of your 351. I am sure it moves the Cobra right along.

I didn't mean to sound mean, but do the math 300 hp with a 2400 pound car Cobra = 400 hp with a 3200 pound car Vett. It's too close to call.

Don't go Viper..that's just a modern, heavier, slower copy of the Daytona Cobra. Check out Superformance and stay Cobra! :0) Badger

OK. No offense taken. Sounds like a peppy ride. Sounds like it would give my C6 a good run or even beat it.
