dsommer Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Factory Five Racing #1606. Totally turn key. Blue with silver stipes, 5.0 EFI Edelbrock alum heads and intake. Ford motor sports B cam. BBK throttle body, 17†Compomotive wheels (275/40/17 out back 245/40/17 up front) tubular control arms, NEW WC T-5, auburn diff, the list goes on and on. I saw the post on the FFRcorbra.com board and e-mail the guy. He said he would snail mail me pic well OK. They got here last Friday and when I saw them I was like WOW. Left work early went home and showed the wife she said it looked great. Saturday morning I left the house for a 7 hour drive to east Texas where the car was. In a shop in the middle of nowhere on a prairie with a huge pond (beautiful area!!!) this guy opens the overhead door and OMG it’s gorgeous. I didn’t even try to negotiate with him on price because it was priced fairly. He also delivered the car yesterday for a paltry $250 all the way up here to NW Arkansas. One of the best parts is I'm keeping my Z too!!! Wife was supportive of me getting the car so everybody is happy. Shoot the guy rolled it out of the enclosed trailer Lisa jumped in it and took off around the neighborhood as he and I closed the deal. What a woman. After driving it though I feel the Z is still quicker than the Cobra but the Cobra is smoother and more refined feeling. We’ll see what happens when I put the CV’s under the Z. One happy guy, David will post pics and link tomorrow, if I can find the digi cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsommer Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Sphincter tightening when she drove off in it. It’s quite tame compared to the Z which she drove back and forth into the garage while I took the Cobra back to work!!! (Tear in eye) She rearranged the garage so all the cars would fit (sniff, sniff) Finally 3 cars in a 3 car garage. As far as price, I was looking at two C-5 Vettes (1998 and a 1999) convertibles both low mileage, loaded cars. I just couldn’t see myself taking that big of a hit when I get ready to sell. The Cobra will be worth just as much a year from now and possibly a little more if I take care of it which I intend to do. I don’t think I’ll race it just show it a little and enjoy tooling around in it. Anybody care to come up with a vanity plate for me? Right now I’m thinking BAD ASP BillZ260, drive your butt over here and come see the Z and the Cobra. Shoot come over this Saturday we’re having a Z run down the pig trail in the morning. You can ride shotgun in the Z if you’d like!!! Might even let you drive some. ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsommer Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 Just got off the phone with the wife she took the Cobra out yesterday, burned the back of her leg on the exhaust (told her many times about that) then swore she wouldn't drive it anymore. Well she was driving it down the road with my niece and guess what??? She discovered the gas guage doesn't work. Nice that my 17 year old niece was with her she works at Hooters (she "fits" the job well haha) she had some guy stopped (probably in record time haha) and he gave them some gas, my wife said she almost peed her pants because she thought some thing more serious was wrong. Well at least I didn't have to find out the hard way that the guage doesn't work, I'd still be standing on the side of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
