I plan on buying either a '98 or '99 Cobra in the spring of next year. I cannot decide between these two years. I like the look of the 99 more than the 98. But the IRS scares me since I plan on mildly modding the car that I get...somewhere in the 12's 1/4mi. I have heard that a broken half shaft can cause the car to wreck, plus the fact of the wheel hop even with the Kenny Brown mod.
I like the fact that the 98 has a solid rear axle, but I hear that the T45 tranny is junk on the 98 and that the 99 T45 is better after Tremec? took over them.
Question: Given these problems, which car do you prefer and why? Do the owners with modded 99's worry about a potential wreck with broken half shafts?
Thanks, any input would be greatly appreciative.
