I've only been on this board for a short time, and I don't have a stang of my own, so take my advise with a grain of salt. But I've heard it said many times that the 94 Cobra's were great big P.O.S's. Seems to me that you might want to just save another 3k, and go for a brand new Mach I. They're running pretty strong. (I think much stronger than a 94 Cobra)

thanks, but the thing is, im looking to get a little more power out of the car i get, and the only way to do that is to get a cheaper car, so i have money for mods.

TDC .... yes heard of it. .

As for which car 94 or 96. Is there a particular reason those years only? Also, are you building a track monster and street machine? Because I'd advise the 94-95 (last year of the 5.0L) for a 1/4 mi monster. For a more daily driven street machine I'd recommend any mod mustang (96-01).

With $20K you could really build a monster out of the 94-95s.
That would go a lot less with any of the mod mustangs.

the 96 cobra will come faster stock, will respond better to mods, get better gas mileage, and last longer. dont even consider a 94. the 5.0s suck.
