305 hp
320 trq (?) I could be wrong about the torque.

I'd get the Cobra. They're faster and better built, imo.

From 2000 onward, the mustang build quality has been crap. In 2003, though, they've tried to redeem themselves.

Well lets see... the 96 Cobra has a pretty powerful engine, the 4V DOHC. The 99+ GTs are pretty decent and can keep up with a 96 Cobra stock for stock. Theyre both good IMO, but if you want to build a racer, id say go for the Cobra, especially since the have the Live-Axle (no IRS).

Well thats a pretty good price... but try to get it down to $7k-$8500 if you can, I saw a 96 go for $6500 here at this dealership. Was sold pretty quickly though. Remember, since youre getting the Cobra... they love to be revved the hell out of... Get something along the lines of 4.30s or 4.56s gears Couple of bolts, full exhaust, and some DRs and youre set

I'd love to have a SN95 Cobra....
