So much so that I've already put money down on an '03 Cobra: 390hp from the factory, and with some minor bolt-on mods (Bassani X, airbox mods, boost tweaks, etc - NO CHIP) you can push close to 500hp WITH A FACTORY WARRANTY. So basically you're getting Viper-like performance for $40k.

I've also read an article where they swapped out the factory Roots-style blower for a Kenne Bell and got a streetable, drivable 600hp but that would break the warranty.

[Warranty is important (to me) because if I trash the car, I want to be able to take it back and make them fix it]

Cool Big E. I got a 01 cobra convertable too with a few mods. 4.10 gears and what not. Pretty sweet ride. Been thinking about trading it in on a vette though.
