i personally dont like the 94-98 body style, but if ur fine w/ that get the Cobra, but make sure u get it w/ low miles if ur goin fi. also be prepared to spend a lot more money on modds, insurance, and repairs

Gotta go with the Cobra....they are more rare, have more hp, suspension is better, and respond better to mods. It's just overall a better car than the GT.

Any good driver should be able to hang with a pre 03 Cobra from a light.

if you want to supercharge the cobra, make sure the motor is in good shape. unless the DOHC and cobra name is a big deal to you, i'd just buy the GT, or get a new cobra if you really want boost. if you buy the GT, get a late 01 or newer, and get the 3650 tranny. i just don't trust the T-45.
also take into account insurance costs etc... but if boost is what you really want, you're best off buying the 03/04 cobra, as they come boosted and are built like a brick ****house.

No sexier mustang than the SN95 Cobra. With the front fascia and the big nostril looking hood... SWEET! That 4v w/procharger, exhaust and a good tune, will put you way ahead of any GT with full boltons! How much is this Cobra anyway??? can't believe nobody asked.....

true this. when my 98 gt was still non pi with bolt ons, un tuned, i raced a cobra same year and even same color, and i stayed at his bumper until we both backed off at about 60. i didnt launch to hard, or i'd have been side by side with him. my friends 02 GT with gears filter and cat back had a similar outcome.
