Hey all, I used to post on this Board when I had my '98 GT.
I've been looking into getting a DD and from my experiences with these cars, they're very reliable and "cheap" to fix.
I'm looking for higher mileage, low priced models, so I'm trying to re-gather all the knowledge I've forgotten about the do's and dont's, what to look for, etc.
I just had a few questions:
I'm either looking into a 96-98 Cobra, or a 99+ GT. What would you all recommend for reliability and cost of keeping it on the road? Also, did Ford make the 99+'s Safer than the pre-99's, or are they exactly the same in that department? Safety is a major factor for me.
Also, with the 99+'s, are there any years I should avoid, or anything notable that changed through those years (I remember the '01's got a slight compression increase I believe).
I was also toying with the idea of getting an LS1 since they're the same $$, I'm not really concerned with style as much as safety and reliability, although the power of them would be some extra fun, just can't get myself to get into one though, unnatractive cars
Thanks.
