Just wondering if there's any stock car (specifically import) that could take that...also, what domestics could? Anything in the sub-30k range?

That's the only '95 Cobra on eBay, and it happens to be here in Gainesville..was hoping to see it, but the guy hasn't replied to my email yet.

You want to compared a stock imported car to a tuned domestic?

Fine, a McLaren F1 would destroy it. It is stock.

If you want a Cobra that's cool, but this particular one is pretty overpriced. I don't think I'd ever buy someone elses project either, although my first integra came with intake/header..minor mods. boring the motor out is pretty major.

I'm actually comparing price to price (not that I can afford either anyways). Roll your eyes all you want....

Bored .20 over, 9lb pro charger and intercooled, 30lb injectors, 77mm mass air, shorty headers, dual 265bpl fuel pumps, in-dash fuel retard, upper and lower A-arms, sub frame connectors, kevlar clutch , short throw 5.0 shifter and much more.

I don't know much about cars/engines, but injectors/mass air/headers/fuel pumps sounds a little modified..

You'd be surprised...even Japan has V8 motors to compare to Ford's and Chevy's....they call them Turbo 6 cyl motors :D

V8's have a higher HP ceiling due to their involvement with NHRA drag racing and such, but a japanese 6 cyl (turbo) is every bit of capable of high HP numbers as a V8 with forced induction.

Yeah I totally agree. I would think it would have about 85-100 less than what he said. If you figure 215 RWHP(which is being for a 95 5.0)then 9lbs I don't see it. At all. I would think 385 might even be on the high end...

Heads are not ported. No aftermarket cam or intake.
