I really want a 96 to 98 cobra. but i don't know much about them? do they have electrical problems,is the transmission and motor bullet proof ect. i have owned a few fox body mustangs i have built them and loved them! will these cobras have the same effect on me or are they just a problem??? thank you for reading and if i posted in the wrong area i apologize.

I think the 96's had cooling problems, but most were fixed. Other than that it depends how well the po took care of the car.

I have a 1996 cobra I bought back in jan of this year on ebay. it had around 128k miles and now has around 133k I live on the gulf coast where it gets pretty hot and havnt had any heating problems atm. I love this car and drive it everyday. as long as you keep it serviced and dont hotdog it todeath id say you will love it. the horsepower stock over the stangs you have owned before will be noticeable. just make shure you take it to a machanic to have it checked out before you buy it. I had bad motor mounts and anti brake rattle clips that drove me nuts before I figured out they where bad. I love the smooth ride and how the 32v motor sounds when fullthrottle. anyway if you get it at a good price and checks out fine id go for it.
