If i sell my car, im only gonna upgrade to a mach or an 03 cobra. I mean you can get a nice mach for around 12K and a nice termie these days for like 18k. So really, its not all that much to upgrade to a newer 4v. So if i can over the winter, im gonna be scouting for a mach to upgrade to.

i don't know how much i would like a tan interior.

if you have a 10k budget, hold on to your car until you can get a little more cash for a mach 1. i test drove a few mach before i got my cobra, and man are they badass! the shaker hood is pure sex, especially when you rev up and watch it move.

Check it out man, I had a 98 Cobra so I cantell you all about it.

The car was fast. The things the car needs ASAP is a drop, control arms, 4.10s, pullies, CAI, and o/r x-pipe. I had just those mods and it ran high 12s on street tires and trapped 108-109

My next mods were going to be tubular K, LTs, TB, and a custom tune.. I woulda been lookin at 110+ trap speeds with those mods. But Like I dumby I sold the car

I would do the cobra... but I'm sort of partial to the early SN-95 platform. The only late model mustang I would rather have than 96-98 cobra would be the obvious 03-04 cobra.

If the info under your username is correct, and you're from NC they shouldn't go up any. When I was 19 I went from a 3.1L Monte Carlo LS to a 5.7L Monte SS and my rate didn't increase at all until I started racking up the speeding tickets.
