COBRA [worship] Why would you want a 2v 4.6 when you can get a 4v with a lot more potential AND a better looking body style [Wink]

On the other hand, you shouldn't disregard the 94-95 cobras either. They have more potential for mods and look as good as the 96-98's [patriot]

I've had both.....a couple of times....the cobra is way more fun stock for stock but the parts to make the GT are quite a bit cheaper. But nothing more fun than 7k pulls!

4v > 2v

sitting inside the car it's hard to tell the difference, interior is the same besides the seats, I like the older seats more than the newer seats personally, the new ones feel like they're made for fat people and have no side bolsters at all.

I HATE working on 96-98 Mustangs. Ford didn't get there stuff figured out until 99+

Go with the SVT! That way you get a Certificate to hang on the wall,you get to brag about your limited production vehicle,and its handmade engine is visually Awesome under the hood compared to a 4.6 2V. [patriot]

I'm in the same dilemma trying to decide what to buy. There are some good deals on some 96-98 cobras right now...

My bro's each have one. '00 2v and a '98 4v Cobra.
I've driven both and...
4v Cobra def takes the win. Sorry Javy [Razz]

The 96-98 Cobra is an awesome car with a great motor IMHO.

I am surprised at how low the prices have come down on these cars and think its a great opportunity to take advantage.

96-98 Cobra > 99-04 GT

The 4 valve. The look of the motor alone is worth it. People do this [Eek!] when I say it's a 281 (who don't know mustangs).

i had a 00 gt which was lots of fun and parts are cheaper then the cobra, and also drove a 97 cobra and really its all about the motor since u could pull up to 7k on the cobra. So i would say ether a cobra with atleast 4.30's or a gt with a 100 shot.
