hey, I have $20,000 to buy and modify a cobra, my dilemma is i dont know whether i should get the 94' or the 96', any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

I've only been on this board for a short time, and I don't have a stang of my own, so take my advise with a grain of salt. But I've heard it said many times that the 94 Cobra's were great big P.O.S's. Seems to me that you might want to just save another 3k, and go for a brand new Mach I. They're running pretty strong. (I think much stronger than a 94 Cobra)

 

thanks, but the thing is, im looking to get a little more power out of the car i get, and the only way to do that is to get a cheaper car, so i have money for mods.

 

save a couple bucks, and get an 03 cobra.

 

hey, i just heard of a place called turbo driven concepts, its a place that sells turbos for mustangs, has anyone heard of this place, and if so is it any good

 

TDC .... yes heard of it. .

As for which car 94 or 96. Is there a particular reason those years only? Also, are you building a track monster and street machine? Because I'd advise the 94-95 (last year of the 5.0L) for a 1/4 mi monster. For a more daily driven street machine I'd recommend any mod mustang (96-01).

With $20K you could really build a monster out of the 94-95s.
That would go a lot less with any of the mod mustangs.

 

the 96 cobra will come faster stock, will respond better to mods, get better gas mileage, and last longer. dont even consider a 94. the 5.0s suck.

 

[sm=smiley36.gif] Ha, ha, ha,ha ....... that would be incredibly funny if it wasn't so insanely wrong.

 

4.6 dohc is the only motor to produce over 1000 hp with alot of stock parts.lets face it..stock 5.0 supercharged=around 331hp..only 26 more ponies than a stock cobra..superchrged 96-98 cobra..over 500hp on a stock engine..superchrged 03 cobra..390 hp..do the math

 

humor me smoke[sm=lol.gif] tell me one thing better about the 5.0 in the cobra vs the 4.6 4v in the 96
