well i sold my roush today kinda sad to see her leave. But off to bigger better things.... mmmm thinking about getting a 4v because my stinking npi 2v was wayyyyy to slow. 32v have much more potential.... what do you guys think??

yeah i would love to own a 03-04 but out of my price range!! thinking of either 96-98 cobra or 99 cobra... kinda like the look of 98 cobras.... what is the difference between the 98 cobra's and 99 cobra??

03-04 Mach 1!!

yes a mach would be nice but i dont want to spend that kind of money.... thats why im leaning toward a 98 cobra and just drop 3-4 grand into it

a 98 would be nice, but most banks wont finance you for that. get the mach, love the shaker.

yeah i love mach's but i can get a killer deal on a cobra with cash and have lots left over to do what I like with it... forged motor, etc

I start the Police Academy Nov. 7 and i wont be able to work that many hours so thats why i dont want a payment. When i get hired i'll finance something like a truck

difference from a 98 & 99 are the following..

diff body(duh)
IRS in the 99 and Solid Axle in the 98
320hp in the 99 vs 305 in the 98
The 96-98 blocks are Teskid so they are stouter.
the 99 has different heads, therefor the extra 15hp

dont forget the intake manifold in the 99/01 flows better. the 99/01 cobra engine has more potiental then the 96-98 cobra 4v. id say go with the 99 cobra, if money is one of the main issues.

How much did you sell your rousch for?

Posted by stockishlx (Member # 5804) on :
 
potential for what? in stock form, there isnt that much advantage. only big advantage is the IRS for road track-handling, but for drag i think he is better off with the 96-98. like i said the 96-98 blocks Teskid so they can handle 1000hp but u just need to change the internals to equal the blocks holding power. have you seen stock rods on a cobra? they are pathetic..here is a comparison.

99/01 cobra motors like it more when ported heads and cams are installed, compared to the 96-98 cobra. the 96-98 cobra might be a little stronger, but either way, both engines need their internals swapped out for forged ones if a power adder is to be installed.
