the 98 cobras dont have anything to brag about suspension wise theres nothing really upgraded except the brakes. wasnt until 99 when the cobra got IRS and stuff. the s197's have good potential, but i'd still take the 98 cobra i hate the way the new ones look and they are heavy and parts are retarded expensive for them.
yes, the 4v motor has much better potential as far as boltons go than the 2v's do.
if cobras are going for 5 grand with 50,000 miles, i'm making a trip to where you live.

What is ugh? Is it for or against?
Well I am asking for people's opinion. I like the looks equally, with the new edge being a little nicer but the cobra having the wow factor. I can stroke the 4.6 but honestly I was going to just go with a turbo setup. It will accept higher hp applications right?

Higher HP applications are all going to depend on what you do with the internals. And that being the case. Both motors can be built to take whatever you want to get out of them. If you're keeping the rotating assemblies stock, i think you're looking at a 450 bhp cap either way. If I remember correctly, someone will chime in if I'm totally wrong.

(Teksid) these blocks have seen over 1000hp. The crank in the cobra is forged and is also good for over 1k hp, the GTs have a cast crank and iron block, which are still good for decent power levels(600+ish IIRC) so nothing really hurt there. The stock 4v flows much better for boost, the "b" heads do really good with boost. The pistons and rods are nearly identical, in fact they might be.
really?
realllllly?
