94-95 cobras were underrated..they dynod around 225 whp stock (I’ve owned 4 in the past) putting their crank numbers at around 265-270ish FWIW

[@TheSamplebridge]

Completely wrong. Mine dynoed at 190whp stock with aftermarket mufflers. Maybe 230 crank. Gets ran around new edges when it was stock. They are good for cheap power because a set of aluminum heads, cam, headers, intake, gears, and a shortthrow will run you about 1500 in parts and make anywhere from 300 to 375whp

[@eriv4735]

You must of had a dud then bro because all four of mine were at or above 225 and every one that I have seen were in that range

[@rcbustanut2057]

Nice info bro, my 16 yr old stepson just inherited a 95 GT. His dad had done quite a few mods to it, just saw it for the 1st time this past weekend. Car is quite clean, super clean engine. Right off the bat i noticed headers, nice wide piped dual exhaust, high end cold air intake system, must have some type of high performance clutch system since he added a specialty RPM guage with the flashing light that tells you when to shift, MSD current booster & a couple other things. Not sure what has been done internally to the engine but i believe it was rebuilt, car only has 79k miles. Looks like it has a coolant leak on one of the hoses, once I get it fixed I'll be able to fire it up, cant wait to hear her & test her out.

[@marcellowheeler88]

I used to have a 98 cobra. Miss it badly, with the right exhaust setup, the 4v are the best sounding cars on the road. If I get another I'm def going to upgrade the cooling system, so something with that clutch and throw some 3.73s in it

[@95Sn95]

My mom who is now deceased gave he 95gt convertible to her husband of 11 years because "he wanted it" even tho I had tried to purchase it for 2 years earlier, I was floored when she dropped that on me but I bit my tongue because she was bed ridden. Im a Chevy guy so I've never cared about mustangs but it had sentimental value I talked her into buying it after my dad passed because she was so destroyed by his passing, I nagged her into trying it went for test ride where she said it was "zippy" lol, anywho he doesn't use it just sat since 2015 when she died. But I love that particular car for those reasons. But driving it alot over the years I'd say the biggest Achilles heal was the tall gears...2:73? That strangled it, I managed 125 out of it but it could have gone faster I think but it could not push it any faster even tho it had more rpm. I always figured if I got it I'd put 3:73 or so, cam and lifters, remove cats n do cat back and it would probably go decent 5.0s have ton of potential, right mods and that 3" stroke and there a spinner. Oh year her GT was garaged every winter and had less than 100k and was immaculate... other than a starter wire short Only prob I can think of was for couple years it had an RPM associated vibration and one day looking for that short I noticed the harmonic balancer was wobbling bad, I replaced it with a $75 jegs unit and 95% of vibration was gone but I think the main bearing in front of engine may have got hammered it vibrated pretty badl in the 4 to 5000 rpm, but I wasn't worried 5.0's are cheap to build, good excuse to build it some.

If I were to get another mustang it would be a 2001 Mach 1 and only a weekend driver. My 97 was "reliable" but quirky. I finally traded her with a fella who had a 2012 Fusion 4 banger. The Fusion has 160,000 miles but she is show room fresh including suspension and drive train. She is ugly, slow, but HELLA COMFY! My new play car is a Firebird Formula LS1.

It dyno at the wheels around 315 hp 330 ftlb, and thow i never took it to a 1/4 track i cleaned up at the 1/8th mile.

I blew out the weak ass T-5 that these came with, only to have a nightmare replacing it cause the outfit I bought it from sold me a T-5 for an 87-93 which had a different speedo gear and totally threw me off 15 mph or so, not to mention the company that rebuilt them did a horrible job as I had to return the trans 3 times due to seals leaking, and synchronizers going out.

Ok, so I thought I was about to go sickomode on this boi for the 5.0 302 the 94-95 get/ cobras had, but he fixed it. However, still a few critiques. The mustangs from 98 down were hp rated using wheel horsepower. The models up from that were rated at engine horsepower which drops as the power is transferred to the axle and wheel. This was a marketing ploy to fake out the insurance companies so you didn’t have to pay the price of a 400 hp vehicle. My mustang’s engine horsepower is 415 which you must take in mind the Roush kit on it. However the wheel horsepower is only 274 hp. See the point? But I will give you the problems with the odometer because mine went out too.

[@Re1ikGaming]

Previous die hard Camaro fan here. I randomly bought a 96 mystic cobra that was mint and dont know shit bout Mustangs....but learning. Would love some tips on how to get more HP out of my DOHC. What's the most HP I can get without going turbo or SC? That will be at least 3 years down the road. Basically I want develop a plan and do the upgrades leading up to turbo/SC. It's the daily driver for now lol.

[@austinkennedy5951]

4:10 gears or lower to begin with then do full exhaust from there.. Bolt ons after that if you want to continue on the n/a path. Low gears are incredibly nice on these cars, however, if you do plan on adding forced induction sometime down the road I don't know if I'd go with 4:10's. My car has 3:73s with a p1sc procharger and I couldn't imagine having a lower gear in it.

[@Re1ikGaming]

@@austinkennedy5951 Yea. Plan on 4:10's for now. Forced induction will be way down the road and will change the gears then. So used to swapping out heads, kinda hard with DOHC lol. Half the exhaust is done now. Headers is all that's needed right now.

[@bladewalker3568]

I’ve never owned a mustang but came close to trading my 98 Explorer with a 302 in it for a v6 96 stang and test driving it it had damn near as much power as my dads 94 gt 5.0 , but , only reason I didn’t trade was that damn clutch pedal was too damn hard , drove it about 15 minutes and my ankle was already wore the hell out.

[@user-z3r0187]

I have a 97 v6 autotragic ( wanted a "funish" a-b car that wasnt like a camry and I got it cheap ok...) and can confirm i have every single issue mentioned above aside from the throw out bearing...

[@theSHAD087]

96 cobra had a 4.6l dohc 4v making "305hp" at the crank

[@everyonewasstealingmynamea919]

How funny “I’ve owned 6 of these I know what the hell im talking about” calling us noobs and gets the years wrong.. yeah I know you corrected yourself.

[@budd2018]

Not to mention actually not knowing what your talking about while pretending you do. The car he said was his at the end was a pile of shit and obviously customized at the top two custom shops for any broke asshole. Kragen and autozone.....

Ahhhh dang bro I miss the crowd surfer! Could you do a video on Foxbody mustangs I’m really wanting to get one of those!!!! You’re the best take care.

Yeah I just bought one to kinda fuck around with I’m thinking of pi swapping and adding twin hellion turbos

[@gman510]

My grandma has a 1994 anniversary mustang, just polished it up today, looking near brand new

[@chrisrose9960]

The 1994-1995 Mustang gt's didn't come with the 4.6l, they came with the windsor 5.0l.

[@mindandbodymuscle5345]

Chris Rose... Windsor motor? that motor was like a 5.4 or 5.6. no way it had a windsor motor. 94-95's had the old fox body motors with hyperallegetic pistons, and different type of throttle body than fox's.

[@chrisrose9960]

@@mindandbodymuscle5345 No, the 4.6l and 5.4 are modulars. I've never heard of a 5.6l. The 5.0l (302) and the 5.8l (351w) are windsor motors and the 1982-1995 mustangs came with windsor 5.0ls. The 1994-1995 mustangs just had a modernized varient of the windsor with a different intake and other misc changes. I have an 88' mustang GT and a 95' Mustang GT and I've been around them long enough to know whether the motor in them are windsors or not, so I'm pretty certain that the 5.0ls they have are windsors.

[@joshcossin8099]

Hate to break it to you, but the 302 5.0L was manufactured in Dearborn MI until 2000. If you go to the Henry Ford museum you’ll learn that. The 351 Windsor from Windsor Canada was made up until 1995 only for commercial vehicles or race applications.

[@xlorca5930]

The clutch part got me 😂😂😂😂😂 like damn

[@dominicoconner1973]

You can't put the 94/95 in the same class as the 96 & on as they had different engines. Yes they didn't make a tone of HP but they made a lot of torque in the 95/95 The 4.6 2v that replace that was garbage & would cost twice as much to mod & never really see much gains. Go for the 5.0 and If you can find a cobra they are way more rare with less being produced so don't listen to this guy. the cobra engine was not that bad & it had better suspension with bigger brakes to start with. If you can find one in good shape they will be worth more money as they get older, great car to buy for a collector .

[@jayv2308]

I’m skeptical about getting a 96 it’s in amazing condition the guy had it for 5yrs as well as the receipts to the parts and new tranny he put but the only thing is the odometer went out and doesn’t know the mileage on the car is it worth it?

[@roberthill1208]

I've had my 98 GT for 5 years. Odometer was broken when I got it. I drive it everywhere during the summer and I've been doing oval track racing with it for 3 years. It's been a great car and I absolutely love it!

[@that5slow]

I’ve had every issues besides the odometer on my 97 happen that you mentioned. I can’t stop laughing

[@adamcox1947]

Lmao. You’re so right I have a 95 gt clutch is stiff as shit. Clutch cable snapped. Throw out bearing went out. E brake doesn’t work. Bushings shot Everything’s spot on😂

I just bought a 94 5.0 GT, kid blew the motor so now I get to rip and rebuild.

[@sunfox9481]

I want a 94 for the 302w wondering how much power a cam and heads might make

[@isaacclarke3453]

I say a lot of the stuff u was right about but there was one thing I noticed I messed up on which is the engine the engine options for these cars actually were the 3.8 the 4.6 2v and the 5.0 now the 5.0 did only last till 95 but just a little pro tip

[@AustinHarmon1994]

Don’t forget the oil pressure gauge is just a gummy gauge and doesn’t really function.

[@1menwolfpack550]

Tell me about it I actually had to put a gauge pressure on the actual sensor to know exactly what my pressure was

[@joseserrano1295]

Get a 96-98 cobra, I’ve only had problems with the leg press clutch and odometer

[@salvymods7139]

Jose Serrano what you mean with leg press clutch, just bought a 97 cobra too, and the clutch went bad after 2 weeks of purchasing, but clutch is a pain on the leg to press it is that on all cobras or just on mine, cuz I have a 96 v6 and the leg press is way softer.

[@joseserrano1295]

It’s 100% normal to have a stiff clutch, every owner you talk to will say the same thing.

[@fransiscolopez1305]

@@salvymods7139 I have a 97 cobra as well and the clutch pedal is pretty damn stiff compared to the other manual cars i've driven. It still has the original clutch from the factory never been replaced.
