gt or cobra

95GTS · 07-29-2001, 02:23 PM

Another vote for the Cobra. Here's my opinion which I'm sure others will disagree with.

About the GT. Why buy the inferior car? Sure it's got its strong points. New. Never been driven yet. You get to be the one to know everything about the car and know where it's been. It's a strong stang. 260 hp. A heck of alot better than the first 4.6s from 96-98. I didn't like my 96 much at all. Good looks and good ride. Pretty darn quick now too.

The SVT Cobra. 305 hp. 4V DOHC. Stronger, more powerful and from what I"ve seen and read more durable (stronger internals, better heads, intake, etc). Much better brakes and suspension than the GT. Good looks and ride. The Cobra is built much more performance oriented than the GT, though the new GTs are quite an improvement over the past ones. And don't forget the exclusiveness (is that a word?) of the SVT Cobra. Not everyone has one. You see the regular mustangs all over the place. Not the Cobras. Kinda like my Lightning. Rarely see any around at all.

All around the Cobra is the better of the two hands down. But the GT is a great car as well. The aftermarket is about the same for the two. Both expensive, too. More so than the 5.0s. All it takes is money to go fast but you will have to spend more on the GT to get to where you'd be at with the Cobra. And if someone is only getting a 13.99 out of a 4V Cobra, they need to learn to drive. Hmm....305 hp vs 260 hp. STOCK vs. STOCK the GT will not take a Cobra unless the Cobra driver can't drive at all, or the motor blows, or .......
