narcestang said:I have previously owned a 95 talon tsi awd (same thing as a gsx) and have stated many times that i think it was an awesome car, great gas mileage, AWD, extremely fast with the mods I had, would absolutely kill the mustang I have now, handled exceptionally, and I wish I never sold it. I just bought a jeep within the past week cause my stang has been in the shop for 13 out of the 16 weeks of the semester of my senior year, and my opinion of mustangs has decreased dramatically as you can imagine, considering I have spent thousands on the car and it still never runs right. I guess my friends were right when they talked about fords prior to my purchase. Anyway, I disagree with anyone who has anything negative to say about the dsm awd turbo cars, I think they are mint, and put money into it if you want, why not have two fast cars? The gsx will be a great daily driver modded or not, and modding does not require stickers, and it also does not require your entire bank account......

narcestang said:Yea my 95 was the same color, it almost has a hint of purple in it. The color seems kinda rare, I never see any around here with the same paint job, even though it must be factory. Now this guy has taken the opposite route and modded the talon and daily drives the stang. Either way they're two nice cars, assuming they run fine for ya.
My mustang had all sorts of electrical problems. It started stalling WHILE DRIVING, and I almost got killed on an off ramp (stalled, power steering goes, brakes, etc.....). Then after it stalled it wouldnt start up again until the battery was almost dead. I brought it to a race shop in rhode island that works only on mustangs, as no other mechanic could fix it. Even after I got it back, and I'm talking 8 or 9 weeks, it started bucking, and barely accelerating. It was even at a Ford dealer and they were at a loss. Anyway I just got it back again this past week but the jeep is on the road now, so I'm gonna let the stang sit and try again next spring, possibly make sure its fine and sell it to get a cobra..... or a dsm..... I cant see putting more money into a GT that now has over 100k on it, but I don't want to sell it until I trust it will be fine. Oh and prior problems: On the way back from Myrtle Beach the rear end locked up on the highway in New Jersey. That was also quite fun and expensive. I dont beat on it, but maybe the guy before me did I dont know. He seemed like a good guy though.

By the time I got to 15mph I was back even with him, and started pulling away at around 55. He gave up, and got behind me at around 80. It sounds like you need to learn how to launch your Cobra. I would use it for what you bought it for (DD), and not use too much money on it. My brother has had three turbo Mitsu's with nothing but problems, and he doesn't even try to make them faster. He's a "bling blinger". Good luck with whatever you decide.

95_Cobra123 said:Pal I hate to tell you this but GSX will always win off the line also from 95 to 99 they have a T25 Turbo fast spooling little thing and they are AWD u can knock those to about 3500rpms then let it rip and get and its gone off the start like nothing else ok cobra yes its fast off the line but its not awd so I would hope the eclipse would get me off the line or it would have some problems before u judge an import make sure u know the facts as for u passing it around 55 I can understand that cause of the t25's r so small they don't spoll up on top end till u get intake and UICP till then they suck on top end also the stock bov on them is plastic and not good for over 14 psi they start to leak boost witch hertz u allot. I am not try to pick on my cobra but I know that most of us don't stand a chance against something like that off the start when these cars get 60ft's in the 1.7 and so on that's damn good pal. any ways thanks guys for the complements on the car I still love the cobra more.....
