I'm still in college but I have a 8 month internship lined up and I'll have some disposable income. I'm thinking new edge gt or sn95 cobra but want to do my research first. I really don't intend to do any boltons. If I get a 2v I'd put together a vortech kit on the cheap, supporting fuel mods, lower it, exhaust and be done for a while. Don't know what'd I do with a cobra.

I had a v6 mustang in high school and my winter SHO was faster than it so I don't think I'd want to go that route. Any opinions on cobra vs gt? I figure with the set up I mentioned the gt would be pushing at least 360 to the wheel. Pros and cons to both?

Thanks

id say slap a vortech on the gt and youd be gtg!

Do yourself a favor and buy a 4v to save yourself time and money in the long run

What if I only want to hit 400whp? Isn't the gt's limit right around there? How much stronger are a cobras internals?

Are you looking at the 5.0 or 4.6 Cobras? If you are talking about the 94-95 Cobra they both can hold around the same power on the stock bottom end. My buddy has a 95 Cobra (full HCI and a 100 shot on stock bottom end) and mine has the stock internals too. We both push around 400 rwhp & 500 rwtq with no issues. We've both been doing for quite some time now.

I say get the sn95 cobra. Gears, Intake, Exhaust and you will be very happy with the 4v!

I'm more interested in the 4.6 cobras but I'll keep the 5.0's in mind too

Large metal forging facility in WI and as of right now I have no set budget.

I'm assuming a supercharged cobra would be faster than a s/c gt pushing the same boost. My first mustang was a prior salvage that we got from an insurance auction and my dad's friend who has a bodyshop fixed it up. Frame was fine, just new rad, hood, front bumper etc. So if I could get a car that way it'd be a lot cheaper and I'd probably be more likely to find a good gt than a cobra...

To those with gt's- do you wish you had held out for a 4v? Anybody have experience with both?

I've owned a 2v, 3v, and 4v. No doubt the 4v is the way to go. It responds well to mods and is superior to the 2v.
