I had a chance to get an Orange 'Vert when I bought my black one but it was an extra $7k for the color because the owner knew he had only 1 of 73 (i believe) ever made. Also had a shot at a Red Anniversary edition with a Kenne Bell but someone put $ down before me. I still \<3 my black one though.

Why not just go twin screw blower? It’s proven to make tons of power on 03-04 Cobras reliably. You can find them used all over the place too.

The only kit I would run if I had to would be the hellion for the fact you could use a maximum motorsports k-member. Other then that everyone seems to be using QA1 garbage for fitment :cjerk:

Remember you gotta beef up the rear end, beef up the clutch and input shaft, beef up the fuel system, get a bigger maf, get a tuner, get some better cooling to the head going, change out the whole front suspension, buy all the 01 cobra intake stuff, and then you can throw on a turbo kit. Cheap and easy enough right?

yea true. i wouldnt plan on doing that kit for along time down the road.

i would do all the basic bot-ons at first. intake full exhaust headers back, smaller pullie intake MAF all that fun stuff, get a good tune also!

btw you wont need headers until your well over 600rwhp so you can rule that out
