I kinda like the cobra bodystyle in that yr with the bumper ,plus if u lower it ,it looks badass. Plus that engine puts out about 300 hp which is awesome and can be made fast.

13 grand you might be able to find a 99 cobra


Yeah well $13k is the absolute most I can spend considering I can get a nice deal on someone who wants to buy my car.

Also, yeah there are 99/01 cobras for in that range and they all have at least 60k miles and have most likely been beaten more, since there is more miles. (Yes I know pretty much every mustang owner will get on it from time to time, and anyone who says they don't is lying. )

I am just looking for a low mileage car that has been well taken care of, and I know I might not get both but usually they go hand-in-hand.

We'll see, but if I can find a 99 cobra with like 50k and a $13k price tag of course I am going to go with that instead of the 96-98 cobra.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, the more I look at the bodystyle, the more it grows on me...I was thinking a slammed black stang with 18" DD black bullitts.

Yeah I am pretty sure I will be happy with the power if I end up getting it.

100hp is a lot more lol.

Yeah I was also leanin' towards the cobra, the engine is a 4v and also has about 40hp extra than the GT and assuming responds much better to mods.

Insurance might be a little higher, or about the same, I still gotta check into that, but gas mileage and the way i'm gonna be driving that thing might not make double digits haha.


Mine barely makes the double digits and its a sixer. lol Get the Cobra man, then you can say to the GT guys, "why would anyone get an GT, they are such pieces of ****" like they do about sixers.

Yeah, but I wouldn't really be like that, a mustang is a mustang...unless it's a four-banger.

But a V8's a V8. You can have a 600rwhp V6 and never have the same feeling and rumble of driving a V8. To some people that's important.

Now that I think about it, there was a guy in the F/S section that was selling a 96 cobra mystic chrome with around 64k on the clock for $14k. I forgot what state he was in, but you might wanna look into it.

Yeah, I am telling my father it's just a cobra with a 351 in it.  (which it is...it's just stroked and bored to a 410ci engine)
I am 18 and in college and capable to make my own desecions, but I understand if he really doesn't want me to get this car because I might kill myself. He can't say no, but if he is really "sad" about me going against his will I might not get it but we'll see.

If you get it just don't be an idiot. If you haven't caused any accidents with the sixer, you shouldn't cause any with this, as long as you drive it the same on the streets. However I do recomend going to the track and ripping into some Terminators.

Do you have a mod list? It's not getting 500 to the wheels with just a stroked 351.
