Listing this for a friend:

Up for sale is my 2003 Cobra that has well over $16K invested in modifications.

When this car was built it was designed to be the ultimate weekend toy that would be dead reliable, quick, and easily the best looking terminator you'll find. Extreme attention to detail was paid when the vehicle was being modded and no expense was spared whatsoever. If you're in the market for a Cobra, I dare you to find a cleaner and well cared for example that will make it cross country in complete comfort (A/C works, no issues with long distances, etc.) with the ability to turn low 11's, hit a road course and still drive home at the end of the day.

About 500 miles ago I fixed the issue that bothered me most with the vehicle: putting the power down. Most terminators spin the rear tires under power which is cool if you like spending money every couple months on tires or are trying to show off, but if you actually want to get up and go and plaster a smile on your passengers face and your own alike, it's a no-brainer in my opinion. The car rarely spins in first under full throttle (depending on temperature, we all know how the R888's are!) and has full grip in every single other gear which is pretty impressive considering the torque and nature of these animals.

The best part of all? The sound. The YouTube video listed below should say enough: Turn up your speakers and enjoy! Skip to 1:01 if you're in a hurry!



Overall the car is in excellent condition. I'm very meticulous about everything and the car gets the iron cut/claybar/buff/polish/wax/sealant treatment midway through summer and right before winter followed by regular cleaning. Only hand washed and a fresh coat of spray wax before every weekend drive. My friends often get annoyed with me because I'm constantly wiping it down when we get to wherever we're going!
