1996 Mustang SVT Cobra vs 2006 Mustang GT?

I found a well cared, low mileage stock 1996 Ford SVT cobra convertible, also a 1997 Cobra coupe vortec supercharged, same price.

There's also a few 05-09 Mustang GTs around too.

Both have the same power outputs, is the 4th gen cobra a significantly better performance vehicle out of the box compared to a 5th gen GT? Would upgrading shocks/pads and rotors/tires be enough for a GT to rival a Cobra?

I'm looking for something that can serve as a good all around vehicle for the next 3-4 years Daily driving duty, long distance driving etc. Then when I can afford another car My plan is to keep it as a weekend car/canyon carver.

A supercharged 97 Cobra will have considerably more power than a stock 05-09 GT. Stock for stock though a 05-06 GT will be quicker and handle better than 96 or 97 Cobra.

  • Weird Knock from Contour SVT? I have a 98 Ford Contour SVT that has an odd knock. It knocks at different rpms and sometimes it don't knock at all. When you rev the car up very quickly you don't hear it knock, but if you keep the rpms steady it starts to make a knock, and it happens at different rpms, sometimes 2k or 3k. This sound is very nonlinear with the car. It sounds like horses galloping under the intake manifold. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
