Honda DelSol Build AKA Mustang Cobra Killer
Like many Hondas, the DelSol has nearly unlimited tuning possibilities. It’s short frame, stout chassis and rather big engine bay has allowed for endless tuners to build their dream cars on a budget.
Such is the case of this specific build from forum member, RC000E, who proudly shares his story about the time he beat some schmuck onboard a Mustang Cobra.
It all started with a 1993 Honda DelSol he purchased for $1,300 bucks, and ended up as a $4,200 dollar project, though he saved a bunch of cash by doing most of the fabrication work himself. The GT3071R motor revved all the way up to 8,500 RPM and sent over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Here’s the list of mods that went into this DelSol:
