I'm a 12 year fox veteran, and finally this year I picked up my first DOHC Cobra to try something different.
Along with the MM suspension, and 4.30 gears, this car has been an absolute blast on the street.
7K RPM redline, inspiring exhaust note, Cobra brakes, and refinement that can't be touched by any fox...
Don't get me wrong, I love foxes, but won't be daily driving one anytime soon.
Getting into this thing and getting on it after work puts a smile on my face daily.
Got the following parts ready to go on
- 18x9/18x10 Saleens
- Exhaust
- Tokico Blues
- New Headlights to clean it up
Who else here has a 96-98 Cobra?

I always like those Cobras, but you always see them with thrown rods and what not, makes them seem kinda iffy to me. 4.6's in general just don't seem near as reliable to beat on IMO
But they sound amazing, and are very good looking cars. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Thanks to the help of Blind, JohnB, and others on the forum, including the forum itself, I converted my 97 GT over to a 4v with a 98 Cobra engine, which spun a bearing, but that was mostly operator error but for the time it ran, it was fun as hell. Im working double time to get the new engine done so I can get that car back on the road and give me more smiles. I love the 96-98 Cobra's, since i now learned to appreciate cars, before i was only hooked ont he 03/04 Style, and i still am. Im glad to see others with the 96-98 Cobras'.
These cars drive and sound awsome. If you don't have one, go get one, or a Fobra like some of us.

I was just going to post I don't even like orange, but it looks good here. Good scheme with the black hood and wheels.
