Purchasing a 1996 cobra, Couple questions
I guess the svt forum stays dead so ill ask here.
I Really like the car, Im Not new to mustangs, Ive has a 88gt and a 02 GT.
The car already has a couple mods,
Chrome 03 wheels 305's in the rear
Cobra R hood
4.10's
Off Road H
Short shifter
Fresh Clutch
Cold Air Intake
Your average Bolt on mods.What should I be looking out for as far as the condition... I know about the Head gaskets but what else?The car has 100k but I think the owner is real particular about the car.
I wanted a newer one but It really wanted a new 1000 sport bike so i desided to get the bike and a older (4.6)cobra and have the best of both worlds. Is the 96 a good choice?
What about supercharging on that bottom end?
How far can it be lowered on the 03 wheels I want it low?
I dont really like the stock fromt bumper in these years, How does the saleen look if someone can post pictures of their modified cobras maybe it will sway me in a direction.

i wouldn't want a cobra with 100k on it, and if he had to buy a new clutch, that usually means the old one was pretty much shot so he had to buy a new one to make a sell, which may be the case
