![]() but can someone tell me a bit about a '96 SVT Cobra? Did they exist, and if so, what kind of approximate performance could one expect?

![]() You bet they existed. That was the first year of the DOHC engine and the best looking hood ever made (twin nostril).

![]() What kind of performance differences (or any others actually) are there between a 96 4.6 cobra and a 95 5.0 cobra? I'm looking to maybe get one in a few months and put some boltons (exhaust/gears/etc.) for a while then eventually supercharge it (ATI procharger) or turbo.

![]() on street tires they are a low 14 second car. But with gears they come alive. low 13's with a few mods are easy.

![]() The 96 cars made 305 and had 3.27s stock.
With some 4.30s you can go really fast. I've got a friend with a 320 (4.6) cobra motor in a 96 and he's gone 12's w 2.73's, on slicks and with some suspension work. Dang fast car.

If you are going to Supercharge or Turbo charge the car, I'd go with the 4.6 DOHC Cobra (96-98). |

![]() Can the stock 4.6 bottom end handle a good amount?

![]() How hard and what parts would you have to modify to swap a 4.6 gt motor for a 4.6 cobra in a 96? Thinking about doing it this winter.
Thanks Matt |
