Purchase/Modification Help
hey.. im new to this mustang modification thing. im looking into buying either a 1996-98 cobra or a 1999+ GT. i know that the gt is only a 16v SOHC while the cobra is a 32v DOHC. i also would like to know what all i can do to my new stang, ive noticed that there isnt too much room under the hood.

32v will smoke an equally modded 16v!!! that being said look for a 96-98 cobra, they are hard as hell to find though, i would try and get one that hasnt had anything done to it-that way one you will know what you are working with and two there is a lot less chance that the owner before you didnt rag the hell out of it! Cobra all the way baby!

hell yeah there is, buy a 98 cobra and an intercooled procharger 8 psi system. and your cobra will sound and look like a stock cobra, and with the intercooler you could bump the psi to 10, be safe on a stock engine, and own almost everything on the street. and you can get it installed and tuned for probly 500$ or less. but most superchargers are do-it-yourself and come with very detailed installation manuals. but the tune out of the supercharger is key to making the most power out of your supercharger/cobra. good luck! god i wish i could have that setup, i would take that over an 03 cobra any day.

yeah all depends on how fast you want to go and that is equaled to how deep your wallet is. lets say you still want to run around or the streets beat up just about anything, get headers a good X or H pipe if you go cats get hi flow ones, and a good cat back. next yeah i would throw a S/C on it if you got the scratch for it, if not get a nce port and polish, cams, and a good tune or chip. youll be damn happy
