Casper , boomer or any other good "smart ford guy :)&qu
Ok I have decided in june (thats when I will have the best funds and the most equitiy in my car and good credit).
I am going to get either a 99 or 01 cobra , is there any differences in these 2 to make so it I should go with either 1 or the other. I dont think i'm going to have any SC money for quite some time, cuz i just cant afford to drop 4k in one mod at the moment. I'm just going with LT,mid pipe, full exuast, JLT, 4:10 gears, and a tuner. Does the 99-01 cobra have the same rear end as the 96GT (use the same gear package). Im going to crave my insantionable need for massive 0-100 speed by going with a Suzuki GSXR 750 |

I'm not so much into the cobras, there may be minimal differences between the years. I believe they use different length axles in 99 and up, all solid axle 8.8" ford rears share the same ring and pinion demensions other than the obvious (ratio).
Also I would suggest a 4.30 gear, one thing I know is the 4 valve guys prefer them over the 4.10. I see your getting GSXR 750, go for the 1000 you won't regret it..lol

No difference in the years. They upgraded the "power" problem the 99's had with a recall and fixed it for the newer years. They are very fun cars. But no differences. I would go for the newer year insted of the 99.
The mods you have planned will be great for you comming from a 96 GT. You will love it. As far as gears go...
I agree with the 1000....but its an animal. from me going from a 05 GSXR600 to my buddys 06 1000 he bought i wqas amazed at how light the 1000 was and how easy i could throw it around. felt just as light as the 600. and the power band is crazy, made me giggle like a little girl.

I've been somewhat "tossing" around the idea in my head of maybe going with the new body style ram air trans-ams
I cant quite decide between the cobra and the ram air TA :O I absoultely love mustangs however you dont see very many hooked up TA's looking good and I think having something you dont see often would be quite exciting. Anyone have any input on the trans-ams? |

mustang = my favorite car, but those WS6 T/As are badass, and fast as hell...
you dont even know what you can do to the motors on those things stock haha, i seen one around where i live with exhaust, 100 shot (nos brand), all braided wires, full role cage, short shifter, all internals done, and when he took off, i think i left well....

Yeah man they are just insane. I was running around today with two of them. I wasnt in my Stang, not that that would have mattered, but Personally they dont look good to me, but they have some power. Still personally I would take the Stang over any Firebird or Camaro.

Get the stang if you dont have much money to mod. F-bodys are expensive to mod, especially when you get down to heads and cams. Unless you can do the work youreself.
