Default what do you guys think..

so the other day i test drove a 95 g.t it was a pretty sweet car. low k's and no mods done to it yet. but i was wondering.
should i buy an older g.t with the 5.0 engine? or should i buy something in around 1999-2003 and spend a lil bit more money
but get the 4.6. and something with the warranty still on it?
also is there much of a difference between the two? besides for the obvious body style. and engine size?

if you want more stock power go 4.6

If you favor the SN95 body style then get the 5.0 liter and go for a new set of heads, cam, and an intake, 4.10's, lowering springs and exhaust. Can all be done for the same price as the 99-2003

well the 5.0 will be cheaper to mod, that's for sure.

well there's a lot to consider. What would you liek to to do the car if you get it? Any mods inmind? How much do you have to spend? How many miles are on the 5.0? Hell how many are on the 4.6? There's a ton of things that could sway your decision here..

its not 99-03.. its 99-04

get a 03-04 cobra.. best bang for you buck. you can find one a little over 20k.. i'd say around 25k.. comes with 390bhp and 390btq. 0-60mph in just 4.9sec and 1/4mile time in just 12.7 sec. and this is STOCK.

i wish i had gotten one
