well i love the sn95s personally, the newer look with the 5.0 power. also the 5.0 will be cheaper parts and easier to find. if ur gunna get a 4.6 it best be a 03 or 04 cobra!

yea get a 5.0 but don't get a 96-98 4.6 unless its a cobra with the DOHC. the SOHC 4.6's are slow as can be with hardly any aftermarket unless u supercharge it. check out the 4.6 section almost every single 4.6 is supercharged

As stated many times above, don't waste your time with a 96 - 98 GT. Aftermarket parts are expensive and the car itself is a dog unless you can at least do some PI swaps. If you are going with the SN95, stay with the 5.0 and toss on some good aftermarket parts.

+1 DO NOT BUY a 96-98 Stang.... GARBAGE. If you are dead set on a different body style stick w/ the 5.0. You will be MUCH happier.
