Cobra got totaled, need info on terminators

[tonydahose]

like the title says, my 99 vert got hit by a taxi and totaled. i got 15K for it which i was kind of surprised by but happy for it. i am going to get a 03 or 04 cobra vert hopefully with low miles. other than knowing the terminators were SC'd and would beat me at the track i dont know much about them. what are common breakdowns with them? what should i look for? i know a pulley, intake, exhaust and a chipp are the common mods. will that get it around 400-450rwhp with a conservative tune? anything else that you can think of to help me pick up a decent one is appreciated.

2.76, CAI, Cat Back and a Tune will usually net around 450rwhp/490rwtq if you make sure to toss on an Aux. Idler as well.

Common problems tend to include gernading the diff cover, busting half shafts, the "tick", throw out bearings going bad, clutch needing adjustment... thats about it honestly. Everyone has their own odds and ends problems, but for a stock or near stock car these things are pretty bullet proof long as you have a good tune and don't wheel hop the shit out of the car.

If you're getting a Vert the first mod needs to be FLSFCs

if you find a car thats been pullied(very unlikely to find a bone stock car) I would ask about who is been tuned by and I would throw it on a dyno to make sure everything is tip-top

Well after looking at the numbers even the highly profitable taxi hit would not cover how deep I am into the car already haha.

The only way I went with my 03 was buying it brand new I dont trust buying a used 03 or 04 you have no idea whats been done to it and the history......my $.02
