Well, from your list there I would probably go with a '94-95 Cobra. You can meet your goals on the cheap: Port and mill the heads (GT-40 irons) for some more compression, some light port work on the intake, and throw a mild cam into the mix and I don't see low 13's as being a problem (thats assuming other bolt on's like a good exhaust and gears.) Plus you would start out with other things like 13" brakes, better seats, etc.
But truthfully, running low 13's with any of the cars is not going to be all that hard.
A 96-98 GT can be found on the cheap because everyone thinks they are "really slow" and it takes "a lot of money" to go quick. You can get used PI heads and an intake for $600 or less (you'll be running around 10:1 compression, perfect for a N/A car.) Then throw in a set of aftermarket cams. Then figure in a free flowing exhaust, U/D pulleys, '02+ Mustang GT MAF, gears, and a Dyno tune will put you near low 13's. Stone reliable, cheap, and possibly a sleeper to boot.
BTW - contact the moderator and they'll be able to delete your double post.
