Is this a fair price?

[otter1363]

Thinking about changing up. Seen this one on Ebay - think it is fairly priced?

spend an extra 2k and get a 4v s/c...

saleens (and 2v's) in general are junk (most)

 

[GOON]

go onto svtperformance and look in the market place for terminators it is still somewhat of a buyers market and you can find one with low to mid 20's or go to a dealer and pay mid to high 20's, i didnt find mine on svt but lets just say i got my car for a steal with 2300 miles and paid about 3.5 less than the saleen in the link.

I would imagine for the mileage that the car has it will sell for a little more then that. Also a roots blower on a 2v isn't going to be that fast.

Edit looks like a Whipple on it, still probably not that crazy of power numbers.

 

[otter1363]

Lists 365hp. Didnt know there was a 2v v/s 4v on the 4.6. Guess I need to do a bit of browsing...

 

[GTwolf]

Seems like a really nice car, but honestly I'd keep looking around and see what else you find.

 

[GOON]

96-04 cobra's 4v (03-04 cobra supercharged,iron block, forged internals)
03-04 mach 1 4v
96-04 gt and saleen/roush models 2v

 

[Dasfinc]

There is a Supercharged 2 valve 2001 GT on chicagolandmustang right now for like 10k making bigger numbers than that... not saying, just saying ;-)

 

[otter1363]

Sooo when did the aluminum block get put into production? The diffrence between 2v and 4v is really that much!? Dont know that much about the modular fords.

 

[Smokinhot]

I think the aluminum 4v is just on the Shelby's and I think it was in the 2011 or 12's

I'm not a so I'm not sure

4v motors essentially have WORLDS more potential, especially the ones in the 03-04 Cobra's (I know they are forged, dunno about the older ones.

the 4v motors are DOHC Vs SOHC, the 2v's are between 235 and 260hp depending upon the year, while the 4V Motors start at like 300hp NA.

 

[syP]

2v motors can only handle ~380whp before they like to go Boom.

Sure there are some out there that can handle more.... but honestly... Cobra > Saleen.. always

 

[SHOmuff]

what they said

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

my shops 4 units down from online motorsports. its a nice car. seen it outside few days ago.

IMHO, I'd prefer the Saleen over a cobra. Don't get me wrong, the Cobra is a great car for sure, but there's just a lot of them compared to Saleens.

Sure the Saleen is based off of a GT, but can be upgraded. Swap in a Ford Aluminator shortblock, or swap in forged internals and turn the boost up. In the end, if I were to heavily mod both, I'd prefer a fast saleen over a fast cobra.

 

[syP]

So you just like the rarity and zip-tied body panels?


Sounds like a FAST SHO is in your future

jk

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I guess that car looks alright. The wing is ugly.

I'd rather have a car that has the most potential right off the bat (03-04 cobra).

or find a saleen 03-04 cobra or a roush 03-04 cobra, they made them but are very rare.

the 96-01 cobra's and 03-04 mach 1's have an aluminum block, come with 300-320hp based on year. the new gt500's have an aluminum block compared the iron block they used to have, i think they switched in 09-10 to aluminum.

pics???

Stock 2V Internals < 400 RWHP without it going boom.

Stock 4V Internals (Non-Terminator 03/04 Cobra Motor) < 450 RWHP without it going boom.

Stock 4v Internals (Terminator 03/04 Cobra) 800+ RWHP without it going boom.

The blocks on the Modular motors are very stout, 2V or 4V. If you do pick up a 2V you will need better connecting rods and pistons, but the crank is good for big numbers.
