    the 32v Cobra motor that comes in these sure does sound sweet, but an eaton swap may be in the future :rolleyes:

    i really want the factory magnum's for it, but im wanting them in 10.5" for the rear


    Pete, u got no idea :thumbs2: lol



    and i'll be driving it to Columbus for the fall meet so if i run into anyone there, look for my car to find me :drive:

    the factory wheels for those are sweet, by this weekend i should have the 4th one so I can run them on the mav. Good luck finding them in a 10.5 in the back,as far as I know the company that made stopped a few years ago. You can find them for sale once in a while but they arent cheap.

    If you do find them in a 10.5 for a reasonable price let me know.

    just for an update... ive installed an x-pipe on it and a tuner. ive also purchased a set of 3.73 gears for it and a NEW set of 17x9/17x10.5 AFS Mach 1 wheels for it that ill be installing in the spring.

    Ive also installed a 'Honeycomb' panel on the rear, tinted the tail lights and blacked out the rear bumper letters

    as of this moment, planes are to buy a wrecked Terminator (03-04 Cobra) and rob the engine/trans for my car :evil:
