[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 12472014, member: 7060"] Do you plan on using the car you buy as a daily driver? Or is it a second vehicle? I would get the 03 if it's gonna be your daily driver because it's more streetable, comfortable, and because you won't have to worry as much about putting miles on it, or just subjecting it to the general wear and tear of everyday street duty. If it were a second vehicle, hands down I'd get the 93 cobra. If course, I'd cruise it on the street, but I couldn't bear adding too many miles and creating too much wear and tear, like gravel dings in the front bumper, yellowed headlights, squeaks and rattles, rinkles/cracks in the leather seating surfaces, etc... The 93 is more fragile than the 03, partly because it's getting old, and partly because newer cars are built to last longer. Once you start getting squeaks and dash rattles from driving a fox every day on crappy roads, they'll just keep getting worse. I'm not really trying to say that the 93 is any better or worse as a daily driver, but the 93 is much more important to protect from daily driver torture. What I wouldn't give for a clean, low mileage, stock 93 cobra that drives like a brand new car. I'd be tempted to add a few tasteful mods here and there, but I'd probably keep it stock. You can get a 5.0 LX or GT if you want to mod it (or an 03 cobra for that matter). Maybe the only mod I would do to a low mileage, all original 93 cobra is mothball the original engine (complete from oil pan to upper intake) and maybe the transmission as well. Then, I'd drop in a little more potent combo such as a high compression 347 with aluminum heads and a mild cam. And I'd make it look as stock as possible, using oem valve covers, and a ported cobra upper intake that looks like the original. That way, I can have fun driving the car, but at the end of the day, I still have the original numbers matching engine that can be swapped back in with little fuss. [/QUOTE]
