I know what youre talkin about man, my first car was a 5.0 fox and i miss the thing. Overall I prefer my Z28 because of the power and handling mostly, and not having to worry about it breaking down all the time, but like people have said, its all preference.

Let us know what you end up with.

 

im looking at this one car but i cant do anything until im 18...february 8th, so im hoping the guy can hold up until then...it also looks identical to my GT i had...and its got cloth interior which i love, and its a rarity in cobras...

 

That's a nice car man. I like the look of mustangs.

 

get a 2" drop, some caster/camber plates, 4.30s, and a nice exhaust setup. It will be "da bomb fo shizzle."

 

It really is nice, 1997 with 75,xxx miles

 

Thats what im thinking minus the 4.30's im gonna go 4.10s as its gonna be a blower car...and my exhaust setup is missing a good set of headers...ive got my descision on the Mac o/r hpipe and the magnaflow catback...

 

Just busting your ***** man about trading the LT1 for the cobra and you posted it in the kill section. Looks like a nice cobra though and hopefully the guy will still have it in a few weeks for ya!

 

I hope he does, but if he doesnt, and i cant find one i like by Valentines Day, i guess ill begin a search for an Ls1 T/a....

 

And i think id rather have that cobra than his other car sitting beside it...2002 s281e

 

When I was looking for my next car. I was looking for a 99-01 Cobra or a 94-95 Cobra, or of course an LS1. When I was looking I found a 1995 Red Cobra with tan leather, the car was MINT MINT it had 700 MILES ON IT!! I wish I could have afforded it (14k) I would still trade my car for that any day. It may be slower, but its more exclusive, and 700 miles!! I say, get what you want. There will ALWAYS be someone faster. Get the car you like, dont get an LS1 just because it's faster, you won't be happy.

 

That cobra looks good.

 

Those are the cleanest stock wheels ive ever seen i may even leave those on it for a good while if i get it

 

I say keep lookin for the TA.

I have been on both sides of the fence, and was even an SVT certified tech.

If you want something that is cheap to make fast the LS1 Is the way to go.

i will always have a specail place in my heart for cobra's though. I love mustangs but one of the stupidest things i could have done was trade my 2002 TA for a 2006 Mustang GT. Its like getting kicked in the ***** everytime i open the garage door and its not there. I thought the same thing when i traded my first mustang for TA at first, and now i wished i hadn't traded it on the newer mustang.

I have owned several mustangs over the years and only one LS1, and to be honost those cars really get to you as far as the power. Both are fun to drive so enjoy what you get!

If i were to buy a cobra it would be an 03-04 though not a 1998. that or look for a used mach 1 that would be sweet too. as far as pricing, you can find a moderatly used Ls1 for fairly cheap, and it will have way more power than the cobra from the start.

I like both cars so enjoy what you get and good luck!!

Just my .02

 

way more power? idk about that a bolt on cobra is the same if not better than a stock ls1.

 

little food for thought

bolt-on LS1 > bolt-on 32V 4.6

stay in the chevy family bro

 

I know that mod for mod the chevy wins im a GM guy myself its just i miss my mustang...

 

That Cobra looks sweet. Do as others said, the normal bolt-ons, + 4.30's and tires and that thing will be moving. Oh and PonyGT65, the NA 4v needs some gear man, if this guy is going to keep it NA for awhile then 4.30's are perfect, 4.56's would not be bad either, then drop down to 3.90 or 4.10 once blown.

 

4.10 is pretty sure wat im going to go with its the best of both worlds for n/a and FI cars...so im pretty stuck on that...its gonna be my DD as well....

 

Well if you are going to get a cobra mine as well get the best of the best.....03/04.

 

lol everyone has said that "go get and 03-04 cobra, i dont really want one of those I want an sn95 not a new edge, and again im looking to spend no more than 16k on this car by the end of 07 and then it will be done....and thats only about half the price of a terminator that hasnt been abused....and ill be walkin all over stock or moderatly modded termys when im done with this for 1/2 the price and better looks(imo)
