Thats sucks for a GTO i always thought they ran door to door with 03 cobra's. dont they have 400 hp and 6 speed manuals? how heavy are they?

Tommy.... about the GTO they have a super well programmed "launch" system in the computer, It helps them leave hard, but never spin. I got to drive one and it wouldn't spin and always left the same way and all you have to do is push the pedal to the floor.
Once they get some Mods on them they are very very capable cars.
I'm sure as KK mentioned there is ALOT of crap in the PCM tuning that keeps them from KILLING the IRS.

Still a well driven 6.0L GTO should be in the mid 13s. Even the 350hp 5.7L ones should be able to break into the 13s

I used to have a 2003 cobra and wiped up many of gto's
Damm do I miss that car. I am going to start looking for a 03/04 cobra drivetrain to put in the mark:0...........that would be sweet!!!
Damm do I miss that car. I am going to start looking for a 03/04 cobra drivetrain to put in the mark:0...........that would be sweet!!!yes that'd be very very sweet.
but IMHO i'd put leave the drivetrain in the cobra and just take the motor.
hooking that motor to a properly prepped 4r70w will be litereally unstoppable.
think, no boost drop on shifts, long legged gears that begged to be supercharged.
build it..smiles will come!
WAIT..uhmm.. I just saw the first gen pic in your sig file.
you'd be better off finding a second gen mark 8 that needs a motor and putting the terminator motor in it.
the second gen is already obd2 and the tuning solutions are all ready in place.
also the motor fits under the stock hood with no scoops or bs required.
putting that motor into a first gen isn't gonna be an easy swap nor easy to tune once it's installed.
just this week a decent second gen with a broke motor didn't sell on Ebay with a 1K starting bid.

If I happen across $5-$7k I'll do an 03/04 Cobra motor swap.

Likely never will happen. You can get extremely well equipped drivetrains from mpsautosalvage.com.

You are so smart... a college student not have $5000 kicking around in their sock drawer... Weird!

yeah! That does make sense to find a obd 2 car and I do agree that one can be found for 1k with a bad engine becouse you can find them for 2k-3k running good I am trying to buy a house soon but once I do that, then it's the search is on to build a nasty mark viii! I work for amtrak and we settled our contract so they owe us some serious back money so that = 03/04 COBRA TERMINATOR!!!!!!!

bah.... the flat landers come up here driving 60 -65 in the LEFT lane and "flash to pass" when you're doing 80 in the RIGHT lane. We've always figured that they hit the WI border and say "We're free!" no more tolls and camera enforcement...
