I have a 2004 competition orange cobra that Im thinkin about selling to get a vette . This color was only made in 2004 and they made just 281 in that color. I know for a fact a few have been totaled or scrapped for one reason or another so this color is scarce to say the least. I know of a stock one for sale with the same miles as me for 29 grand so that gives you an idea of how much this color adds to the value, not to mention mine has the black inserts on the seats which is way nicer then the grey ones that most cobras came with .I'd trade even for an 03-04 z06 tho. I dont want a white or red car tho. I'd consider other colors but blue would be my first choice. My car has 25,900 miles on it and I got it from the original owner. Just clay barred and polished it as well as degreased the motor so its lookin nice. Market value on my car stock is between 29-30 k but mine has about 15 grand in mods .

Too many mods to list but the most important ones are the Whipple supercharger with a 3.1 upper pulley and a 4 pound lower pulley good for 22.5 psi, solid built rear axle as opposed to the IRS they came with stock. DFX clutch, 26 spline input shaft, FR500 wheels with BFG drag radials out back. 3 inch MAC catback, bassani mid length headers that I just had taken off and new gaskets installed on both sides, that alone was $500 to replace. Also has multi piece bassani x pipe that has cats and straights with it so you can take the cats off if you go to the track at all. Twin focus fuel pumps, wiring upgrade to the fuel pumps. EGR delete, PPRV delete was done was done 2 weeks ago. SOS A-pillar with ultralite fuel pressure and boost gauge plus an AEM air/fuel gauge on the steering column as well as a shift light in the speedo cluster.I have the canton supercharger tank and radiator tank to add sum bling under the hood. Other mods include an LFP heat exchanger, Kenne Bell throttle body, JLT cold air with the 12 inch filter in the fenderwell, lakewood drag suspension, etc... Big drilled/slotted rotors plus stainless brake lines help slow this cobra down.

Theres alot of stuff I cant even think of but I have a list around here somewhere that I'll post later if needed.Car also has a Saleen wing and the rear section between the tailights is painted flat back. I bought the car a few months ago cuz I thought I wanted another cobra and now Im starting to want a vette. I can never keep a car for very long and im ready for something else. Im sure after 6 months with the vette I'll prolly want a viper or a supra but for now I think its gotta be a vette to keep me happy. I havent had it on the track yet but I know it should be running between 10.30-10.50 in the 1/4 mile. Maybe low 10's with a hard launch and a 1.4 60 foot time along with a great driver. I had the car tuned with the smaller pulley and 3 inch exhaust when I had them installed a few weeks ago and it made just under 660 torque and 630 hp but thats on a very safe tune with a lil belt slippage thanks to a carqwest belt that was readily available but not my first choice at all . I since put a gatorback belt on it but havent had it dynoed again . It should be makin closer to 650-660 hp now with no slippage. The car is in northern VA
