Default Hello new here.... Input?

Hey guys Iam new to the forums, seems like a great place... I know this question has been asked about 100times and Iam sorry to ask for it again, askin is a part of learning My question is what should I get for under the price of under 15,000 CDN 12500US?
Theres lots of great cars on autotrader. and I was wounding what I should get I like the 1995-1998 body style... not a fan of the fox bodystyle... anyways Should I get a 1998 Mustang Gt or 1997 Corba? Both of them are the same price pretty much 98 $11,968CDN with 134,000km or the 97 Cobra $12,500CDN with 132,000km? I dont really wanna go over 13g cause I wanna have some money to put into the car before the next paycheck.... If I buy this car its gonna be a weekend car/ track rat.
Thanks for any input guys...
Cheers

why not go with something in the 94-95 year range. They have the 5.0 motor as opposed to the non PI 2v 4.6l

you could get a MINT fox body and have lots of money for mods with that kind of money around my area. do you really not like them that much?

if you get a 96-98, dont bother w/ the gt. 94-95 doesnt make a whole lot of difference because most people end up doing an H/C/I swap anyway, but then again the body is nicer.

94-98 was the early sn-95 body style, and look very similair
94-95 came with a completely different motor than the 96-98(if you need to know more, ask)

its basicly which look and which motor you want

I don't know about ya'll but I like the 96-98 cobra. They did come with 305 stock. Sounds like a good deal to me. Weren't the blocks aluminum? Recently in a magazine they put some bumpsticks and a KB blower on one and put 500 HP. Doesn't sound to bad to me.
