    All I can say is that it could have been worse. We could have been stuck with the Probe for a Mustang. Then the Cobra would have been based on a Mazda platform. They would have been loved as much as the Mustang II. But instead of the car that saved Mustang it would have probably killed it. The SN95 sounds a little better now,doesn't it?

      Not to get off subject, but the Probe could have been a nice car to add to as a Mustang if it was Rwd or Awd with the 5.0 engine 5 or 6
      Spd Manual it could never replace the mustang ever, but it had potential to be a good performance model especially in Cobra or Svt and Shelby models.

      Agree with you replacing the Mustang with a Probe would have been bad! But I run a 14.8 second 1/4 all day long with my 89 MX6-GT and still average 27.2 mpgs driving to work. Do I miss my 96 Mustang GT? No I don't. Worse Mustang I have owned so far.

    • @midnight347
      @midnight347 2 года назад +3

      @@camaro3gen what was wrong with your 96 gt? They have some decent potential even on a budget. Ported pi heads and intake and aftermarket cams you can make 300+ rwhp in a 96-98 gt pretty easily. You will make more power with those than an actual pi motor because using pi top end with npi bottom raises compression up a whole point to like 10.5:1. Not bad power for such simple mods on a 281 cube engine from over 25 years ago.

      The 2v has just as much power and torque stock as the old 5 liter and has just as much potential modded. People just talk shit and don't know wtf they're talking about. People didn't like them in 1996 because the aftermarket was crap. That isn't the case today. I swear I think some don't like them just because it's a 4.6 and not a "5.0" so it don't sound cool rolling off the tongue. People will claim other reasons for disliking them but I believe that subconsciously has alot to do with it. The 2v sounds every bit as good as the pushrod if not better as do the rest of the mod motors.

    I guess a lot has to do when you were growing up on the model run you like. I got out of cars right when the foxs came in, and reentered the Mustang world 2 years ago. I just remember being blown away when the 94 SN95s came out, they were sleek and sporty looking, not the boxy "fairmont" look of the foxs. I do watch the fox channels as you guys do the cool engine stuff, that is hard to find on the SN95s sites, especially for the 94-95 pushrod models. So it goes back and forth on model favorites, in the end they are all Mustangs!

      U can make it quick with the 5 liter.

That would be enough to out run alot of modern cars and run with some pretty fast stuff considering these are significantly lighter than today's cars.

    The Lincoln mk viii came out the prior year with the DOHC 4.6 and every publication had been putting out rumors of the new mustang getting an over 300hp powerplant for the design change.
    The Mach iii show car was making rounds with a supercharged DOHC 4.6 (ten years before the terminator).
    Chevy was putting it down with the LT1 and six speed.
    The viper was still fresh and zR1 Corvette was doing battle.
    Then along comes this... The first major redesign in 15 years with much anticipation and none of the tech/power showed up to the party.
    This is why they were disappointing.

      People loved mine too had it from 04-08. People hate them now because there is a bunch of wanna be mustang guys who just came over since the coyote came out and shit on anything that came before the coyote as if it's "trash" not realizing that the coyote evolves from the 96-98 4v. They were plenty good in their day. They could take down lt1 camaros which is what was out in 96 when they dropped then the later ls in 98 they could hang with those pretty well too edge to the ls. Not bad for being down 1.1 liters and having a longer geared 5 speed.
      People that talk about hating them are just regurgitating the same bs everyone else says. Oh it's not a fox it's so heavy omg it's 100 lbs heavier what are we gonna do? Lol. The 96-98 cobra smokes the fox on potential with the original engine in my eyes.

    S95s were still Foxbody's. Just had a different body wrapped around it. Hoods on the 94s to 98s were heavier then the Square Fox's. 94 was the only year the made horizontal tail lights. 95 they went to vertical tail lights. Like 69 was the last year of the original 64 1/2 front bumper. 70 they changed it. 71 to 73 was the next generation but it was a boat Mustang. 3rd generation was the 74 Pinto look. Makes me upset they skip the 71 to 73 body style that was changed to a boat as a generation. Well anyway the old Cobras fuel set was the problem on why it was hated.

      That car has a npi 4.6 so on a budget do ported pi heads and intake and aftermarket cams with headers exhaust gears stall and a tire. You should get to 300 wheel with that setup and with the right stall and tire and suspension it'll move out for what it is. Then throw a power adder on top.
      If you wanna spend more coyote swap it. That is easily done too since it is a mod motor car. Alot less things need to be changed in order to run the coyote compared to a pushrod car.

    These cars are underrated. Good handling good brakes and not flimsy like the foxbody. I'm a foxbody guy through and through though. On my friend's 94 cobra I ported the heads and intake and added a Steeda 19 cam with springs and it came alive. He already had shorties H pipe and flowmasters. No tuning needed. he later added a 150 shot of Nitrous and drag radials, it was night and day from stock. Hard to beat these cars for the money spent.

Back when the fox was cheaper yea sure it was the better bang for the buck today that is not the case. You can get the better car for alot less money. Don't feel like you're "settling" trust me and take it from someone who's owned both.

    My 94 cobra is by no means the fastest car out there. But off the line I keep up with most modern cars until the top of 3rd gear. My motor is just full bolt ons but it does have a pretty well set up suspension. And a well setup drive train (save for the t5 which is about to explode) a metric fuck ton of weight reduction. At this point it drives and handles like a full blown race car just making borderline stock horsepower. Its running a very low 12 right now on street tires with stock h/c/i. This year im getting a new trans and a cage. Next year is heads and cam. Then finally a procharger. The goal is to run mid 9s and considering it was over a 14 from the factory im well on my way for not a whole lot of money. Everyone that asks me what car to get into for a project I recommend an sn95 and if they've got the extra money I recommend a sn95 cobra.
