Fastang, I was considering going with a 95 at first. For the exact reason that you said, more aftermarket parts that are cheaper. But after finding out that the 94/95 Cobra's only put out 240hp and 285lb-ft compared to the 96-98 Cobra's 305hp and 300lb-ft, I decided modular the the way to go for me.
I just got home from a 1700 mile drive from Atlanta in my new baby. I gotta tell ya, I love this car!
