Default what year

hello all i am new to fords.. i currently own a 1986 irocz but its has bout 115k on the 305 and bout to cave in a bit... but i am lookin to buy a cobra or put a down payment on one. but i am wanting a 94 to a 98 cobra with a stick shift... but dont know if thats gonna work out for me.. so i might have to settle with a gt

which brings me to my first question should i get a 4.6(96-98) or a 5.0 (94/95)... gt or spend the extra for a cobra??

what are the diffrences and the pros and cons between 4.6 and 5.0 and gt and cobras

Get the Cobra.. Its faster.. Its built better.. It will hold up better and looks much cooler.. Problem is they only come in stick so you won't be able to get a shift kit.. So I suggest you learn to drive a 5-speed..

95 Cobra.... I might be partial though. Seriously you can get them for a resonable price and they stand up well to mods and come with upgraded brakes, heads, intake and other stuff.

that is a good question actually

all i hear about is how much better the 302 from the foxes-'95 respond to mods compared to the 2V 4.6 from 96-98 and the PI4.6 from 99-04,,,

but is the same true when compared to the 32V 305 horse 4.6 from the 96-98 Cobras???
