Default Got A New Stang!!!

Last night i was talking to my dad who lives down in Florida, and he said he bought a 96 Mustang, Cobrrra! It's white and its a convertible, well he got it for only 1800..why so cheap? Because it has a blown head gasket which he already put in the shop to get fixed and he said he will sell it to me for only 2k and i can make payments to him when i move down there to him. It's in great condition, just got painted white he says and the interior is a tan leather of course, but not in the BEST condition he says but i don't care. 81,000 ORIGINAL miles and its a 5 speed!

I was never a fan of verts and white cars but this is a steal and i have to pick it up, goin to make it my DD down in Florida and my 95 GT my track car! Whenever he sends me pictures ill send post them up!

That is one hell of a deal! That is my dream SN95 Cobra I'm sure you will become more of a fan of verts having that down in FL. Any plans to mod it?

oh yeah definitely, not much though since im making it my DD even though its a stang i gotta drive like a hour away when i move there to go to schoool.

But im going to get the eibach sportline springs, 4:10 gears, full exhaust and thats probably it! Just to have some fun when driving it around!

I'd suggest 3.73s if you have to drive 1 hour each day, but 4.6 cobras might be different?

Congrats on white vert though

PS, any pics of a SN95 with sportlines?

91 its not just a regular 4.6. its a DOHC motor. they make 305hp from the factory

thats about as fast as a 302 0r 306 with a trickflow topend and the cobra is stock

well i dont know about being as FAST, as much power but the problem with them is they have nothing till 3500, I have driven a couple and each one is the same, slow until 3500 and then till 6500. not a very good powerband.

wow, 305 stock? I swore i saw somewhere saying 225hp or something like that.

I'm not really worried about it being a beast, even though it is a stang it's already a beast haha.

Just gonna do the exhaust and springs and little stuff.

Whats good about all of this, is im only 18 haha and i have a 95 5.0 and i'm getting a 96 Cobra, not trying to be cocky its just pretty good! I'm moving to Florida to be closer with my pops, and go to school to be a deisel mechanic. My dads a business man, sells cars and owns his own store. Lift in his own garage with many tools, it's the life to ask for pretty much. It's gonna be a big change but it's for my fuuuuuuture.

Edit: Holy ****! i just find some specs saying it does come with 305 hp, wow i could've sworn they came with just a tad bit more hp than the 95 5.0

wow...i can't wait to drive her!

I have been thinking about getting an sn-95 cobra for awhile, i actually looked at some with my brother today. My question is, can you take the blower off of a terminator and bolt it directly on? Those older blowers go for pretty cheap on ebay. That would be sweet if you could
