Are you referring to 96 4.6 cobra??If you are the 96 cobra stock for stock is quicker than a 94 cobra.I would think with 2 good drivers equally probally about .3-.5 tenths in 1/4 mile.

A '94 cobra will dust off a '96 GT because that era of 4.6's were dogs. Slow as hell.

The 5.0 Cobra is a joke. The best part about the '93 Cobra is the brakes. The '94 Cobra only makes 240 HP and 285 ft. lbs. of torque. A '96 GT with PI heads will dust one off easy enough. If you want a Cobra, DOHC Cobra is the only way to go. Unless of course you want a '93 for collector value.

94 Cobra will not beat a 96 Cobra...There's nearly 6-8 Tenths of a second difference...The 94 cobra happens to be a high 14 second car and the 96 Cobra usually run about 14 flat. It's not even close. The 93 cobra runs on average 14.4-14.5...I'm not doggin you JD...Just correcting you.

Actually that 240 was under rated for insurance reasons... The actualy power output of a stock cobra is 275 hp. Think about it, how can a 5.0 Cobra that has Gt40 heads, a Cobra Upper/Lower (Same power rating as GT40 intake), Cobra Specific Camshaft, and a hotter computer tune only come up with 240 hp???

-List of some of the stuff on a 5.0 Cobra
Cast iron GT40 heads
Cast aluminum Cobra intake manifold
Crane 1.7 rocker arms
24lb fuel injectors
Cobra specific ECU (computer)
"Cobra" stamped valve covers with build sticker and signature
Engine oil cooler
Front mounted power steering fluid cooler
Lightened flywheel
Phosphate coated transmission gears
Overdriven waterpump pulley
Cobra specific camshaft
Cam specs: Duration: 227°/Intake & 270°/Exhaust
Lift: .485/.485 Intake/Exhaust
Lobe separation: 118.5°

Im not jumping on anyones sh*t but dont go around saying someones ride is a joke, I really enjoy my car and it will run with the best of em. All I have done to my car is 3.73 rear end and a short throw. My friend has a low 14 second GT and I handed his *** to him the other night. And I guess everyone is a ****ty driver around here because Ive been outrunning the 99+ Gts too. Not saying my car is the fastest by anymeans, but come on, give it a little respect . A good complete PI head kit will run around $1300-2600 depending on what you want! I can stroke my car to a 331, get a better hydraulic roller cam, brand damn new forged pistons, connector rods, and a pair of Victor Jr. Cylinder heads for around 1000-1200. As far as putting PI heads on a 4.6 Gt and smoking a 5.0 Cobra. Let me put my stroker kit in this thing, and you can have all the PI heads you want, if I still cant catch you for some strange reason, Ill just use my NX Fogger system that installed from the money I saved [sm=smiley15.gif].
