Looking at buying a 94-98 Cobra... need opinions

Hi all

Just sold my 94 Mustang GT to my Dad, I decided I'd like to get a cruiser/weekend car type instead of a dedicated track car, but still run it on the Roadcourse track occasionally...

I'm looking at buying a 94-98 Cobra Convertible, any opinions or things I need to consider?

Any reason to consider a 96-98 as opposed to a 94-95 other than Engine? I'm thinking of a 94/95 just because I'm familiar with the drivetrain, whereas I've had little experience with the Modulars.. Not meaning this to be a debate, just want a few opinions.

How good is the acceleration compared to a stock car from the same era? I've had a 88 GT, slightly modded, a 95 GTS stock </ I hated how slow this was> and a 94 GT with a 347 Stroker.. I'd prefer something around the same power range as what was in the 94 GT.

Also, any reason NOT to consider Convert over Hardtop other than twisting like a pretzel, and the slight extra weight? My first mod would be SFC's.. I've never owned a vert, and I think I'd like to go that direction this go around.

And if anybody knows of a Triple black <MUST be triple black, no tan> 94-98 Cobras for sale for reasonable price, let me know.

Thanks

What kind of mods are norm for the 4.6?

I'm a lot more familiar with the 5.0 engine... H/C/I etc.. What're "THE" mods to do to a 4.6?

Thanks for the replies
