sn-95s ! because they look so good but im biased lol

The list goes pretty much as the years go as far as performance

03/04<--- supercharged IRS Tumble Port b heads etc rated @390hp crank 3.55 rear gears.<---underated
99/01<--- N/A IRS Tumble port C heads etc. <---- rated @ like 320?hp crank 3.55rear?
96-98<--- N/A SRA Teksid block 3.27:1 rear rated @ 305 rear to the crank all are 4.6L DOHC 32v then there are the pushrods

94-95 Pushrod 2v 5.0 HO 302cid rated at 245hp<--- underated
93 pushrod 5.0 HO 302cid rated @ 235? <--- super rare.

some of the 99s still came teskid but the difference in blocks arent to important here.

matters what your plans for the car is. if you mod it mildly, 99-01 or 93-95 is the way to go. if your plans are pretty extensive, the 96-98 are the way to go.

96-01 Cobras dont really have the internals to hold up to much over 450rwhp, just like the GTs and Machs. If your gonna get one, go for a Terminator.

I've always thought all 99's came with teksids, it wasn't until mid 01 production that they switched.

Nope, 98 was the last year to get them. 99-01 have a WAP block.
