SN-95 Cobra Guys
Do any of you regret getting a 96-98 Cobra? Besides needing gears badly is there any other obvious shortcomings to them? Cause they look damn good.

shotty T-45 tranny.
I love the radio still being split din. I love the seats much more than my '00 GT had. Quite a few mods out for it drivetrain and suspension wise. Not as many engine though. One of the best looking engines Ford has ever produced. I love popping the hood. They get great gas mileage for a 305hp car, even with 4.10's i get 25mpg on trips. Paint in my case is a downfall. I wish they had a spoiler delete option for them.

Re: SN-95 Cobra Guys
do you think it would be a better idea to buy a 99+ GT?

Re: SN-95 Cobra Guys
I know that mine is not a DOHC, but I did have one of those at one time.
I like them a lot, good daily driver car, reasonable prices on them now, as Scott said the DOHC is an awsome looking engine and performs well, though you have to keep it in the powerband. The SN95 platform is real solid, and the cars have great brakes (especially compared to the FOX cars).

Supercharged, cobra all the way. These motors LOVE blowers. Just a smooth street cruiser, not real anything than a fun car to drive. Go with the cobra. Get some springs and good struts and its one heck of a curve car. I think with 3.73's or even the stock 3.27's the car would be more fun in the curves due to being able to hold 2nd and 3rd so much longer and keep the power up top without running out of gear. The brakes on the cobra are better, defintely a great benefit.

Re: SN-95 Cobra Guys
I like my car, very much. Just wished it had a different Cobra powerplant.

Re: SN-95 Cobra Guys
Nathan, what would you prefer? Myself, I would even like 01 heads/intake or even mach1 for a better n/a trq/pwr curve.
Of course an 03 mill would be awesome!

-or- A nice 5.4L with 11:1 compression and better intake cams. Both would put 2V torque curves to shame!

Re: SN-95 Cobra Guys
I love my car. I really like the body style. I like the hood and the bumpers on these cars as well. I just like pretty much everything about them. Just wish they had forged internals to begin with, but you can't have everything. The only downside i see about the cars is ford is starting to discontinue some of the parts that don't need to be discontined imo.
