Mustang3GT07------thanks! And I plan on cleaning her up a bit, work on brakes/suspension and doing full bolt ons (tune), paint eventually, possibly consider a supercharger eventually when I feel the car is ready.

Keep us posted on how the updates come along on the new car

Congrats on the cobra. I bought my 96 in may and couldn't be happier. The sn95 body is by far my favorite. I've had a 87 5.0 , 2000 gt and 2001 cobra and the 96 is the best in my book. Enjoy the car as must as I enjoy mine.

Hey thanks Pmgo4th..........I love I MEAN LOVEEE my Cobra. I always had my heart set on the new edge Cobra's. Of course I would love to own a termi, but I am actually quite surprised how much I am really falling in love with the SN-95 body style. Ill keep everyone posted on how the car comes along. So far I got a new steering wheel cover ( the steering wheel was pealing), 14 in. shorty antenna, and the stainless steal COBRA bumper inserts. Thats just the start of it and the easy stuff. Gotta pay off some bills first to get into the motor and suspension lol

Sweet Cobra!!! Seeing this makes me so jealous. Im in the process of getting a cobra. The only thing slowing me down is waiting for the title to my wrangler to get here from the DMV so I can sell it.

hahahaha @stang9946

@DrDeaths01GT - Thanks alot I think she is def. a beautiful Cobra. And I believe that stang9946 is about right. They were rated 305hp to the crank from Ford when they came out, but I believe that Ford under-rated them at the time for insurance purposes. Further testing showed around 315ish hp........so to the wheel its gotta be around 260ish stock. I don't have anything really done to the car besides after market H-pipe, 4.10 Gears with Posi trac, short throw, and K&N air filter.
