Wassup everyone, im new to the forum and this is my first thread.

Im looking to buy a mustang but I cant decide. I wanna get a used one. Probably years 96-00. Can you guys help me out and tell me which one has the best stock parts in it. Im hoping to put a supercharger in the one I buy(with internal mods as well) and I want to know which model year GT or Cobra will be best. It would be great if everyone with both types of stangs' can also post their experiences with the cars.

'99+ stock mustangs have the PI heads. Many '98 and earlier owners spend a lot of cash to swap out their heads for the extra horsepower. So unless you prefer the earlier body style, I'd go for the newer cars.

Personal experience with my 2k... Well, it's an ongoing adventure.

99+ either gt or the cobra. I really regret not getting the cobra. The twin cam make a big difference. BUt still my GT is quite a joy ride. Also the mach 1 is not a bad choice

The 99's and 00's tolerate more boost. So if you are going to go with a s/c, then that would probably be my pick.

The 94/95 had the 5.0 engine and same body style as the 96 to 98. The 5.0 has a very large after market parts availablity.

If you going to buy a gt get a 99+ they are faster. If you like the 96-98 body style get a 4v/cobra.

True that. HUGE aftermarket in comparison to the 4.6.

O yea i would get a 5.0 over a 4.6, well that is if your looking for a GT. The 4v 4.6s are sick when you put a blower or turbo on them.
