I will hopefully be in the market in June/July after I complete High School. I just want to know the pro's and cons of 96-98 Cobras. I have heard the 98's are better, because of something with the computer. Also which one seems to have the most problems? or are the all well built cars.

I thought the old cobras were 3 tenths faster than the Gt's?!?! I can afford a new GT's insurance, I am paying 3k a year already for a 95 v6

Thats the 2v, or the GTs, dont' think there is a difference in the 4v heads from 98 to 99, maybe, not sure, they both have a little over 300 hp stock ???

I wouldnt do the head swap. If i get it I am going to do gears, exhaust, and get the heads ported. Ill have more money to work with in the summer. I wouldnt want a 99+ anyways, I love the pree 99 style, I think they look so much better.

This thread needs to be moved over to the Mod board. This Q isnt appearance related.

REALLY??? what about :260 @ 5250 for an 04 GT and:305 @ 5700 for a 98 cobra? Plus the heads on the cobra respond a million times better then the new GT's do. Believe me, we have a 98 Cobra and a 03 GT and the Cobra is faster. Plus they respond a hell of alot better to bolt ons like cold air intake or a supercharger/turbo. |

Hmmm, Well now, it might be easier to get mods for a 99+ GT than for a 96-98 Cobra, not so sure about that, but I believe it is, and the aftermarket is getting better every day for the 2Vs.
