Hey Guys, im very very new to the mustang world. Ive had an 12.6 dodge dakota, and a 12.9 grand prix gtp. Never a mustang. Well i just purchased a 1995 silver mustang gt. I really wanted a 5.0 cobra, but it wasnt really in the price range i had in mind. My question is what is the difference between a gt 5.0 and a cobra 5.0.

Also, i dont really know an order to go in as far as modding my car. I wanna put a short shifter and a new clutch on my car, but after that im not to sure.

Another question, What Actually qualifies my mustang as a "steeda", or "roush."

Thanks guys, i appreciate takin the time with me.

everyone is gonna say it so i will first. get some gears. 3.73s 3.90s or 4.10s not sure about the sn95s tho.

DirtyDave95

Yea im not lookin to make to much power, so im thinkin 3.73 would be alright, does this mustang have 8.8in rear end

89GTRed

yep is it a 5spd?

DirtyDave95

Yea its a 5spd. So what about the other question?

89GTRed

im sorry but i dont know the answer to that. i have never really looked into steeda or roush and what makes it that. but 3.73s sounds like a good choice and i am sure if you bring this post up sunday or monday there will be more people around who can answer that 4 ya. good luck and [sm=welcomesign.gif][sm=americanasmiley.gif]

I appreciate your help, What about a new clutch? any suggestions...

kilobyte

"steeda"& "roush" are just stock gts with some body and engine work done and resold. really think of them as a non ford verion of svt

And what mods would i have to do to gt to consider it a "Cobra Clone"

A cobra clone would consist of the following:
Body
-Front pumper cover
-headlights
-foglights
-Hood
-spoiler
-cobra/svt emblems
- Cobra rims

drivetrain
-Cobra intake manifold's
-gt40 cast iron heads
-65mm(??)mass air
-24lb injectors
-bigger cam
-cobra computer
-manual trans
-3.23(??close) gears

Suspension-
cobra "bigger" Brakes
tuned strusts/shocks
lowered ride height( 1" drop approx)
Thats a good start to a cobra clone.
