[QUOTE="stangbear427, post: 4601088, member: 46931"] I don't see how many of your complaints can't be addressed. -Not being fast enough is a lot easier to fix than buying a new car is, and no car is easier to make stupid fast than a 5.0 Fox. -Ineffectual factory stereo system... are you kidding me? That's easier (and cheaper) to fix than the lack of power. For under a grand you can put in a system that is twice as good as the factory crap in ANY newer Mustang. I have no idea where you're coming from with the crampy interior and lack of room. Granted, the Fox was made to be driven by monkeys and the '05+ platform has addressed much of that, but I don't have any more room to sit in my fathers '01 GT than I have in my '93 Cobra. In fact, I feel more cramped in his car. Furthermore, on more than one occasion we've had to use my Cobra to transport something that [i]could not be made to fit[/i] in his '01. "No real room in the car"? Compared to the newer stangs? That's funny. My hatchback Cobra has way more usable space than any Mustang made since 1993. I don't know about the harsh ride either, since the '93 Cobra has a softer ride than the '93 GT and LX did, and it's every bit as comfy a ride as my dad's stock '01 GT or my buddies stock '98 GT, and not even close to as stiff as my other friends stock '95 Cobra or Terminator. And if yours doesn't ride how you like, there are more suspension components made for the Fox than any other car on the planet. If you want a soft ride and better handling, add a panhard to the stock stuff and take everyone who thinks they're special to school on every exit ramp. As for the un-addressable issues (boxy looking body style, shiny plastic interior), well... it's like this: you either like the '93 Cobra or you don't.
