I ran into a 96-97 SVT, white, 5sp. tonight. I think it was all stock. Well my friend and I followed him when we got stoped at a light. He reved and I did to. Then the light changed. He launched on it. He hooked prettygood and I didn't. He pulled probley a half a car in first and then when I hit second I caught him and as I was pulling third I was about half of a car in front and it just got worst. I was hopping to talk to him but he wouldn't stop and wouldn't look at me. I was happy to know that I payed half of what he did for his car and that mines faster.

 

thats nice

try the proper forum next time. should find it by reading the forum descriptions

 

helps when ya, post mods, and type of trans ya got too


good kill

 

Wrong forum, just hope that Cobra doesn't get any bolt ons. They really wake up.

 

'96-'97 Cobra's were the weakest ones built in the 90's.

 

PLEASE post in the correct forum. Kill stories do not belong in Engine Tech.

 

What are you talking about? So I guess the 93 w/ 235 hp and the 94-95 w/ 240 hp were faster?...96-98 GTs were all 305 hp and all ran identical, generally higher 13's and the 99/01 Cars were slightly faster w/ 320 hp.

 

I don't know about weakest myself...but I would take a 93...94...95...any day of the week over a 96...97...but I like the 5.0s...

 

Did you mean 96-98 Cobras? The GT's didn't have 305 hp.

Ask around on any Mustang forum. A '93 would be much more preferrable over a '96 or '97. They respond to mods better.

Hell I even read an editor's article in MM&FF mag where he was trashing the '96 (they had one for a project car a while back).

 

I dont need to ask around....a dohc cobra is capable of 12's w/ gears and tires w/ a good driver. A 5.0 Cobra isnt touching that..Not sure what MM&FF you were reading because evan smith got his own 97 Cobra (which is the exact same car as a 96 to a 13.3 stock.)...The 93 is good for mid to possibly low 14. The DOHC and the 5.0 are two totally different engines w/ two completely different mod routes.. and saying the 5.0 responds to mods better is a bunch of bull....96-98 will crush a 93 mod for mod...not even close

 

Yea my bad I meant Cobra

 

Hehe, now you're getting into "mod motor is better than 5.0", or vice-versa. No one wins that one, not even on the Mustang forums..

 

I would definently like a 5.0 rather than the 4.6, those 4.6's just dont seem to respond to mods uless you have a crap load of em. Or unless its the 99+ motors.

 

Who really cares what people pay for cars? That would be like a guy buying a beater 5.0 and throws a 150 shot of n2o on it and beats you...are you going home in shame because he spent less that you and beat you?

If was about racing cars that as little money was spent...all we would see is Chevette's with 454's in them looking dog ugly....
