Why not try to find a 99-01 Cobra? With the right bolt on parts and a solid rear axle it would be a 12 second car. It's very similar to a Mach 1, and I've seen them go low 13s with the stock 3.55 gears. A solid axle with a set of 4.10s, slicks, timing adjustor, CAI, cat back exhaust and you should be comfortably in the 12s. I dont think a Mustang GT is for you coming from an SS. Go with a lil more power.

03-04 cobra if you can afford it.. if not 99-02 cobra with some mods should hit 12's not problem... that is if you want a convertable.

Personally I like coupes. look at the mach 1's

whats is your budget if you don't mind me asking.

 

Problem with the 99/01 Cobra's is the aluminum block...If your going to add a power adder down the road you may be in trouble, seen way to many leave a trail of oil down the track...

Hey for the right price mine is for sale :biggrin:

I have a GT500 Vert to buy next...lol

 

well i'm hoping to stay under $25G's but if i can find a Cobra in good shape i'd go to $30G! i see there is a coupe in Mississauga for $32G! hmmm

Bizness, your car is out of my price range...........should be around $40G right?

by the way where are you from Bizness? i'm thinking i may have seen you around in your old Cobra!

 

Wasen't there a problem with the IRS on those cobras.. Not as strong as the 03/04 cobras

 

25G's

2000 GT with Low Kms loaded
KB 2.6 Supercharger
Gears
Exhaust
Chip
Tires


I'm sure you could do that with around $25000

and 12's would be with your eyes closed.

 

Or buy a 96-98 Cobra, 4.30 gears, exhaust, tires, chip and you'll hit the 12s with ease. And have a better foundation with bigger brakes, better suspension, nicer interior and the pride of owning an SVT Cobra.

ok, in my opinion solid rear axle on a cobra is bullocks! that takes away what makes it a cobra! but thats just me, and to the perspective mustang buyer. save up for a terminator man, you wont regret it! :biggrin:

 

Not the biggest fan of the 96-98 body style.. but for 12's it sure as hell would work
I was just saying if it were my $25000.
sorry for the miss edit.. wrong button


Actually I'd find a used lightning

 

yah there were a few parts that were less strong...but not that it mattered they wer kind of week on power to begin with. even after the big recall with all the bolt on's I dyno'd at 288 RWHP. Compared to my current at 460rwhp in the 04. Bang for the buck :biggrin:

and I agree the IRS makes it a Cobra and I know the lapping guys gringe when they hear somone swaped out the IRS on a Cobra.
