i got my 96 cobra today! it has 36,900 miles on it and we settled for $13500 in the end. i dropped a down payment and got lo-jack for it as well. this is an awesome day! my wife thinks im insane but im not LOL!
stats:
stock everything (including exhaust)
burgendy red with black interior
stock rims with BFG Comp T/A radials (gonna swap out tires)
Has some kind of chip in it? (gonna find out)
5-speed tranny

the guy who owned it before told the dealership that the car has a chip in it or a jet module so im gonna go find out. the funny thing is that the previous owner drove the car only 1400 miles and garaged it for several years.

i have my 89 5.0 up for sale if anyone is interested! im gonna slap it on stangnet and autotrader soon but if anyone is interested, shoot me a message or email. im hoping to get at least $5k. the only thing this car really needs is a rear main seal change and a driver door lock actuator swap. mods are in my sig!

Amen to that! When I got my 98 Cobra, the first full day I had it I found out just how slippery those stock Comp T/A's are. Got sideways turning onto 185th from Hwy 26... Ooops .

I think most stock mustang tires from the pre 99 days are like that... mine stock were crap! I could spin in second (w/ my 95 gt, w/ 3.08s, it's harder than it sounds...) at like 1200rpm... not to mention, any sort of wet weather oh well, it aint wrecked yet!

-good buy man... now learn some self control you'll need it (not a slam, everyone needs self control in a cobra )

They should be the 28 spline. 8.8 inch. As for exhaust. I have Borla XR-1 on mine. And I like the sound.
