I like the blue idea, my fave color. I am not fond of the black lightning so it may be time for it to go to a new home... I will be looking for a lightly used viper in the coming months... Time for a new toy.

You know as well as me that the old beast would WHOOP that little Lightning.

I'll be honest with you though, I was actually considering Sonic blue. I know, it goes against all my morals to put a Mustang color on a Camaro, but the color is soooo purtty. In all seriousness, how much do you think it would cost for a full paint job? RCM discount of course.
I'd definitely go for a Viper. My dads been trying to find a 96-2000 GTS. They can be had for $25-30k, but finding one that has a clean history and less than 20k miles is HARD.

My axiom, buy low and sell high. I don't buy expensive clothes, and try to keep my living expenses down too. I have side jobs that will pay for alot of my toys. I work alot, but I have a good time mostly. I won't say I love my job but i like the fringe benefits. I don;t take it easy, and I am busy when the sun is out, and try to sleep sometimes.

The viper is what it is, about as close to a shelby cobra replica without having to build it myself (I would nver buy a replica that someone else built, yuk). I bit rough around the edges, but that is its charm to me. I just want something a bit over the top, and it is more sensible to have the wife with me than on my bike. I should be able to score what I want for 25k or so... Maybe less if I can score a good deal. Should get 16+ out of the lightning, so I am getting there. The bike will cover another 6k or so, and I have some pocket money laying around. Plus I have more rc to sell, just need to organize it (shudders).

The wife has me busy organizing the new house, 100 pictures to hang, shelves to move, wire the tvs and hang them, wire the surround sound, etc... Never enough!

Oh, and if you want a Cobra, I know somebody with one waiting to be built. Even has a new old stock 427 side oiler to go in it.

Hmm, what brand kit? I like the factory five as have built a few for customers... Superformance is nice but a bit too pricey for me. Plus a gts viper would be a bit more "practical" for longer trips to the coast.

And I need to hook you up with my buddy, his lightning did 587hp on the rollers.......before the 150 shot of nos... And now he has the killer chiller on there so that must be worth another 50hp or so due to the drastic drop in charge temps. Very mean, makes my truck run and hide.

Must be 60k in that truck, the interior stuff alone must have cost more than 10k. All custom. And he traded a 03 cobra stang for it, straight up. What a douche, right place at the right time.

Its a Legendary Auto. They were based in Florida. I don't think there around anymore though.

Serious man, I couldn't hang with that thing. With the turbo yes, but I pulled it off and the motor going in it is just a stock LS1 with a huge cam and full boltons and such. Should be around 430 to the wheels and if I need more, I'll throw the nitrous back on it.

How much does he want for that cobra?

I will run you with the zx12r... A little faster than the lightning so it should handle that f body. I have seen the high side of 190, and it should do a high 9 sec qtr with a warm tire and dry tarmac. Maybe low 10s as I am a bit on the hefty side, but it helps with the wheelies!

Now if my buddy has his way i will have a ported blower, bigger lower pulley, drag radials, traction bars, and a full dyno tune on the lightning... Should do 475 at the tires with that, and a 75 shot of nos will cool of the charge temps nicely in the summer... The viper may have to wait...

I'll probably let it go for 20. The motor is EASILY worth half that if you can even find one, and the kit wasn't cheap. I think the rear end alone (chrome 9") was around 2k. Keep mind a paint job on my car will knock that price down.

A ZX12R? HA! I couldn't hang with that. I'm looking at a low 11 second 1/4 with a good 60' time. Nowhere NEAR a high 9 second pass.
