Cobra (maybe GT NOT V6) would be a great second car, but for a daily driver I'd have to think about it. Great exhaust note and TORQUE, but everything else is not as great.
I'm watching for the new Mustang though, that should be interesting...

ya know, if you are somewhat intelligent, you can put an intercooled twin turbo setup on a 94-95 Cobra for less than $4k too.
but its good to know someone on here can always tell me things I don't know about mustangs . . . :rolleyes: :p

Why a 94? Don't the computers on those suck compared to the 89-93 computers?
I'm guessing that's why there's a conversion harness to put an 89-93 computer in a 94?
By the way, my 88 Mustang GT cost me $2350 with 116K miles
on it over a year ago. Needed a new T5 transmission and still
needs a paint job, but it was in good condition otherwise and
had never been modified. I spent about $150 on the mass-air
upgrade.
Not sure what the 94 has over the 88 other than being newer?

The computer in the 94-95s is actually better than the previous years in the fox body. What people don't like is the calibration of the 94-95 EECs, the main reason being a large tip-in spark retard (this is to increase durability on the way over worked T5 trans used) There are much easier and better ways to recalibrate the 94-95 EEC (J4J1) over swapping to the earlier processor (A9L) The later processor has vastly better load based calibration strategy over the earlier processor. One major area of improvement between the fox and SN95 cars is the brakes. The fox cars are marginal at best in braking where the 94+ cars, especially the Cobras, are actually rather good.

There are much easier and better ways to recalibrate the 94-95 EEC (J4J1) over swapping to the earlier processor (A9L) When I had my '95 Cobra, I picked up an Extender that was sent to Phil Guido over at Visteon (I think that was it, company who made Extender for Ford). He modified it to work with the '95 Computer and it helped a lot. As Rara said, the 94/95 Computer removed timing to stop tranny breakage mainly during full throttle shifts.
