Well your notch is very nice but there is no choice IMO. I would do it in a heart beat! The 96-98 Cobras are the sexiest looking Stangs IMO and they are very quick and quite capeable

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I'd do it only b/c the cobra would be worth more in the long run.

the guy couldn't have picked the french fries up off the passenger side carpet before snapping a pic??

i wouldn't do it based solely on that laziness, if he can't pick up french fries do you think he does oil changes on time? plus people who eat mcdonalds are t3h fat

Absolutely do not trade. That Cobra leaves a lot to be desired. I owned a 97 and yes they are a ton of fun but to me this particular trade is not in your favor.

It has the wrong seats in it, there is something stuffed behind the center dash trim (anti rattle device possibly?) the hood/bumper/headlight fitment sucks, foglights are missing, those sidekirts fit like a$$, pedal covers worn, carpet severely stained, french fries on the floor. who knows what else could be wrong, seems to me that its a hard 126k on that car...which, by the way, is a bit higher than many similar Cobras tend to have...though I guess the mileage and condition are what would justify a straight up trade between a 4V cobra and a stock 90 notch.

You have a clean notch in a rare color that looks sharp with its stance and wheels. Not saying you should keep your car at all costs, but if you are ever going to trade it...hold out for something a little better.

It should give you a clue as to how desirable your car is if a guy with a 4V Cobra wants to give up his car for your stockish notch. Hang onto it, at least for now.

I like your car better ..The other car has fitment issues on the hood,bumper and in the car the A/C duct looks like ita falling out needs seats it kinda look like a 3-4 tone color interior....I like your way better....just my opinion tho.....


Off the topic i see you have flowmaster 44's are they the new style muffler that flow makes...the smaller black case how does it sound? any sound clips....?

that cobra looks like the biggest pos ever lol. but the french fries look tastey...

way too many miles too, never worked on a dohc 4.6 and idk how mechanically adept you are, but the fox will be 100000000 times easier to fix when it breaks.
