1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2dr Convertible
I bought this car used in '99 with 12k miles on it. It already had some needed modifications on it: subframe connector (strengthens car) and aftermarket shifter (improves shift feel dramatically). I had mine lowered about 2 inches and put in adjustable shocks. Handeling improved dramatically. I hated the stock spongy feeling suspension. Since I do have a convertible I do have some squeaking over uneven pavement. The best thing about Mustangs are the HUGE aftermarket for parts. This makes replacement parts cheap and usually better quality than the originals. You can customize these cars to your own personal tastes for far less than most cars.
High reving, huge aftermarket for performance parts, good looks. Big brakes and strong DOHC aluminum engine.
Needs more mid range power and get rid of the live axel and outdated chasis.
