Default 96-98 cobra

hey im new here...
im about to sell my 96 honda accord and get a 96-98 cobra
what is your opinions on the cobra of those years?
how do you think it compares to an 89 gt and a 2000 gt? (those are the mustangs my friends have)

Hey, welcome. I have never owned a Cobra but I would say any year Cobra would be an awesome car to own. They have a better motor to start from. You're already ahead of the with a Cobra. The next best thing is that Mach 1 which is a Cobra without a blower. I'm not exactly sure which year the Cobra got blown but either way a Cobra is better than a GT.

Hey buddy nice to have you hear!!!! Glad to hear your concidering a Cobra!!! Bad *** machine..... Any year 94-98 Cobra your going to be runnin your buddies GT's into the ground..... I prefer the 5.0's myself so a 94 or 95 Cobra would be my first choice....... But youll be pushin about 70 more ponies than them.. Give or take depending on the year.... Good luck!!!

hey man, i went from a 89 GT convertible, with some mods, to a 97 cobra, all stock, with 48k miles, u would totally crush ur buddys GT's if the are near stock, i went to the track and the guys that kicked my a$$ in my fox, were now seeing the rear of my snake. i love this car.

The 96-98 Cobra's aren't any faster than the 99+ GT's...

i hate to agree with 95lt1,but a low mileage 96-98 snake with exhaust only made 263hp to the tires.when i had my 00gt i had underdrives full exhaust i made about 247hp.....so since you have an accord i would get any mustang.
