I had a 97 cobra and I have a 92 gt. Which one do I still have? the good ol fox. Honestly the sn-95 platform is the same. The body is just diff. They are nice cars. Handle good, run ok with the dohc 4.6 anything less is a slow mofountill you do some major mods. The suspenson on the fox can be changed so easy and is not that expensive. Get the fox plan and simple.

And, imo, ugly.

So I sold my other car today. With that money plus my savings that puts me in th 6000$ area. I'm thinking I borrow the difference and try to find a stock(or mostly stock) 94-95 Cobra in the 7k range. If I can't find one I'll settle for a 95gt I think or a notch but I think that will be even harder to find than a cobra.

sn95 - better handling/interior/exterior

fox - lighter/faster

if you want a drag car buy a fox, if not, find yourself a near stock sn95.

if you get a fox make sure it's a hatchback! notches are overrrrated.

Wow look what I have done to you people lol. Thank you all for your input. Based upon lots of reading I think it's pretty clear that the Foxes absolutely have the best bang for the buck and the notches are absolutely beautiful. On the other hand the SN95's stock appear to be a bit heavier and a hair slower in the 1/4, but have a little bit better Daily Driver friendliness.
I can't disagree more here... You get stuff for free on an SN that will cost you about $1500 (junkyard) plus all your time to install on a Fox.

Since a war was requested... The down side of an SN is being mistaken for a girl everywhere you go....

SN = "Chickstag"
Fox 5.0 = "ChicksLoveStang"

if you are going to get a Cobra SN95 get a 4.6 4 valve I've seen them in your price range with under 100k miles and you get 300hp......

the 5.0 cobras just don't have much more HP than the 5.0

trust me 4 valve cobra is where it is at nice interior plenty of power limited edition better tail lights
