Its a 93 Cobra, nice car but not super rare or expensive really so modding it isn't a huge deal. The fact it has 150K just locks in the fact you should mod the shit out of it and have fun. If it was a very low mileage car in perfect shape I'd say maybe try and sell it but at this point it wouldn't be worth it. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>v-town coupe</b> <br /><small>Member # 2771</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,10,28,14,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> depends on what mods your talking about. if your looking to do just bolts ons id say keep it. because the motor already has better heads etc. and it does have a better then standard t-5. but if you plan on ripping out the motor and tranny anyways sell the car and take the difference of a cobra vs gt/lx and put it towards your motor and tranny swap. like i said if your just going to put pulleys, full exhaust,a cold air intake or something then keep it you already got gt40 heads , 1.7rr and a better tranny. put some 3.73 in it and go.<br /> <br /> <small>[ November 28, 2010, 02:12 PM: Message edited by: v-town coupe ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>stangin'</b> <br /><small>Member # 514</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,10,28,15,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> just keep your stock parts and swap them back on if you ever decide to sell the car. it iwll be a classic, but we're talking about another 15-20yrs before it's really worth big money. by that time a lot real '93 cobras will gone. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1RaW93SvT</b> <br /><small>Member # 9151</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,10,28,15,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Modd the piss out of it make it a sick ass cobra be diff than everyone else.. Rather than keepin it a stock car and just slappin a blower on it.. It will hold more value as a 93 cobra thats tastefully modded. Rather than a lx or gt that everyone else and there mom has.... Have a sick ass modded in your own way cobra and call it a day.. But thats just my opinion... I have a cobra myself and im going all out on my build and personally i think it will still hold its value plus some when im done with it.. Ya people will hate cause your modding a 93 cobra and not keeping it a rats nest and keeping it boring and stock. .... Mod it make your own love it and fuck what anyone else thinks hahahaha! !!!!!!!!!!
