Just consider yourself lucky that you're not upside down in your car loan like I am... If I was in your shoes, I would keep your current car, & start saving up to build a forged blown motor to drop in. Since you are so close to paying the car off, I would just keep it. Think of how much cash you would have to mod your car to your liking if you had no car payment? I have no idea what you financial situation is, but if you purchased a $20,000 Terminator, & you were only able to sell your Cobra for $9k, you would have a pretty sizeable car payment...

alex what times have you ran with the 01?.. cause i have seen your ride.. and it's not heavily modded. yes it has mods.. but far from heavily..
yes it would be better for you to sale the 01 and buy a 03.. it would already be faster with no mods than yours! then you can start modding the 03 and make real power.. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
on the same note.. keep the car pay off the 2k and just build a real motor for your car! can you say 3.6 ken bell!

never said it was heavily modded i just have all the bolt ons they make for a na 4v.and i might keep the car but if i could find a terminator for the right price and my friends dad buys mine then ima most likely do that.just have had my car for a while and cant think f much else to do to it because internals and power adders and expensive and a 03 cobra comes with both of those stock

i understand you didn't use the word heavily modded.. but you said you have every mod you could think of..
if you can get 12k for your car, i'd have it gone today. no questions asked. still the termi's aren't that built.. yes they have some better parts, but look at all the trouble one of the other members are having finding a clean good running one.. it would be better to just build a real motor for your car.. what are you looking at 2-3k tops for a build that as good or better than a stock 03-04.. whats the real cost on a set of rods and pistons for your motor? then balancing and what not.. 3k should do it easily..

well if i can be done for 3k i would definately do it but from what ive see 4v are extremely expensive when it comes to motor work.and i said i have all the bolt ons because i do and they dont make very many things for the 99-01 cobras.but i would need a block rods and pistons.let me know where i could get all that for 3k because i start my new job this week so thats where my checks will be going,and my friends dad said he is interested in buying my car at the end of june when he sells his bike

I'm not sure of what the actual cost would be for a motor build, but your block is actually better than the 03/04 block because its lighter being that its aluminum. Its plenty strong enough to handle whatever you throw at it, & I believe its pretty much the same block that AED uses for all its builds. & your crank is the exact same thing that comes in the 03/04.
The internal parts aren't necessarily the expensive part when it comes to building mod motors, its the labor that gets costly...

Do it You will be takin' a loss on the upgrades to your '01. You could always return it to stock before you sell it.
