I love mine, cheap to fix, if you want to mod it automatically needs a tune, comfferable, nice cars with any set of wheels. Great dependeble cars for everyday driving.

Theyre great cars and are personally one of my favorite bodies. More comfortable than a fox and better to mod than sohc 4.6's.

Good if u are upgrading from a 4.6 sohc to a 5.0
But if u had the DOHC(cobra). Kinda is a downgrade. Unless its modded.
They're comfortable as fuck tho. Def a chick magnet. Lol

When you say it automatically needs a tune with mods, is that even with an intake and simple bolt ons?

You don't need a tune on a old pushrod 5.0 with a H/C/I swap just a couple adjustments and wala. But I guess if you wanted to you can tune it.

You need a tune to fix the idle issues, because the 94-95 have more complicated ecu's. or do what im gonna do and get a 94-95 cobra ecu.

This^


94-95 5.0's have issues when u start to mod them. I sold my 95 cobra a while back and it had HCI on top of a 347 shortblock. Ran like a beast, but would suffer from idle surge occasionally due to the sn95 pcm demons.

Notoriously slow when stock
Great body lines and tons of mod potential
Sound Great with Flowmasters
Needs HUGE wheels/tires to fill rear wheel wells
Definitely have heard more then a few people complain about the tuning after mods
Last style with the 5.0 so some nostalgia there

Miss mine like crazy it was a damn good daily,
