IMO it comes down to personal taste. Someone like me would say get a 5.0 GT/ 4.6 Cobra SN95 (215 & 305hp respectivly)car because its my personal favorite, but twenty people will say i'm a fool cause a fox car is faster (205-225hp-F/I models). Sure it is, but I'm into handling and the fox cars don't compare. On the other hand 20 more people will say I'm an idiot and go get a 99+ car.</P>
And how about the 4.6 cars, 99+ is when the 4.6 started to make more power (260hp)and the 96-98 are slightly weaker (215-225hp). They aren't a slow car, just slower than others.My sentra is a slow car! </P>
My advice to you is to just pick yourfavorite platform/body style. It doesn't matter which ones faster from the factory IMO cause how many factory stangs are left? </P>
Go thru some parts catalogues, you will see the fox cars (pre 94) have better parts availablity at lower prices, The 94-95 cars cost more to mod and are somewhat limited in options due to only 2 years of production.</P>
If you get a fox car make sure you consider speed density vs a Mass Air(MAF) car. If you get a SN95 consider 5.0, 4.6 2V or 4.6 4V (Cobra)</P>
How much street do you want? How much strip do you want? If you don't have a preferance to any particular model I suggest deciding what you want the car to be in the end and choose the platform to best suits your needs.</P>
Enjoy!</P>

piston...SN95 4.6s dont have 305hp!!! not even at the crank. </P>
If you can afford it, go with a newer 99+ 4.6. But if you like 5.0s, which is my personal preferance, go with an 94-95, they look good, or if you prefer a better 302 engine, go with an 87-92. </P>
Three good choices to suit your needs, and they all can cover street strip</P>
