New edge or SN95 for street beast?
I'm about to begin building up my "terminator" motor, but am unsure of what to put it in. I have a teksid block, forged cobra crank, terminator heads(which are getting ported as we speak), comp cams, and a 2.8L KB sitting in my garage awaiting assembly. I know, theres a lot more I need, but those are all I have collected so far. I'm awaiting the heads to get done before I choose rods/pistons.
But anyways, I am most likely going to be using a built T-56 transmission and the 8.8" rear-end. So, which car is better? I haven't seen too many super quick SN95s around. This was the problem. I have seen tons of 10second and lower new edges that are completely streetable, but sn95s are rarer. I don't know if its because people don't like them as much, or what.
Is there something wrong with the SN95 that the New Edge improved on? I'm hoping for atleast a mid-high 10sec pass with full interior, and 650-700whp or so...

Nope. Aside from the motor changes between 98-99, there aren't a whole lot of differences.
As far as I know, they have similar suspension setups, fuel delivery is all the same.
But everything mentioned there will be changed out anyways as the car is built.
I'd go with whatever you like better, or whichever you can get for a better price with an excellent body on.
