They have more potential for mods and look as good as the 96-98's -------------------- 2013 Boss 302 #356. Performance White. Stock. 1965 Fastback GT Restored to stock spec.

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 -------------------- Stangless Posts: 7802 | From: San Mateo | Registered: Jul 2000  |  : 9cobra7 ¯ Member # 2812 posted                              The 4 valve. The look of the motor alone is worth it. People do this when I say it's a 281 (who don't know mustangs). -------------------- If you can't walk and chew gum at the same time, don't walk. Posts: 2633 | From: usa | Registered: May 2003  |  : losbadgts ¯ Member # 4394 posted                              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. -------------------- Why pretent someone u are not, everyone else could see it.
