I wouldn't want a 4.6, just my two cents, I'd take the 5.0, shit they look the same minus the taillights.

--------------------
Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

I recall just reading an artical about how hard it is to get a non-PI 4.6 motor to 300hp NA, build a 5.0 if your on a budget, plus 4.6's have no torque compared to a 5.0.

ehhhh....i dont know. when the time comes i will know. i like the sound of a 5.0..more MUSCLE sounding than a 4.6...we'll see. if i do get a 94/95 it will be black. cause they dont sell the 94/95 in moonlight blue [Frown]

Black is such a tough color to keep clean, it shows all dings and scratches, it looks pretty when it's clean though, I'd stay away from a used black car.

I'd say get blk so it will be easier to do the moonlight paint scheme on it without doing the engine bay. just a thought

I would say if your going to get a 4.6 then get a DOHC model. much more power stock and a better base for improvement. Compared to the build i did on my 5.0 the 4.6 is more expensive. but you have to drop some money into a 5.0 to get it where my cobra is stock

Took the words right out of my mouth. If you put a supercharger on a 4.6 your going to Blow the motor up (even with a safe tune the motor is going to GO sooner or later), and when that happens its going to be expensive. Trust me I have a built 4.6 and it cost me an ARM and a LEG, if I had to do it all over again I would get a 5.0 and build it. MODULAR MOTORS SUCK, unless you buy an 03 cobra or have lots of money to build it I would stay AWAY!

I think your crazy to get rid of a 00GT for a 96.

At least with the 94-95 you get the 5 liter.

I'd keep the 00GT or get a clean fox.

(as you can tell, 94-98 does not float my boat [Smile] )

Both bone stock, the 94/95 is faster. Never owned a 4.6, but I agree with Navid. I definitely want an 03/04 cobra.

I'd never buy a 96-98 4.6 GT. Go with the 5.0 or get another 99+ 4.6
