​@TonysFordsandMustangs MAN I LOVE MUSTANGS AND I CURRENTLY HAVE 6 MUSTANGS AND THE ONLY MUSTANG I REGRET BUYING WAS MY BLACK 97 COBRA AND HONESTLY I MISSED ONE SHIFT AND THE MOTOR EXPLODED AND I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND I FOUND A LOT OF THE 96 97 COBRAS HAD NEW REPLACEMENT MOTORS AND IF I EVER DECIDE TO BUY ANOTHER SN95 IT WILL BE A 94 95 COBRA AND I KNOW THERE NOT THE FASTEST MUSTANG EVER BUT THEY CAN BE.

Didn't need to convince me. My favorite Mustangs are SN-95s. I'm biased because that was when I got into cars, started driving and was my first car. Still have an 1995 Roush Stage 3 GT.

I am so glad they saved the Mustang. Losing a rear wheel pony car would have been a damn shame.... Even tho the Probe had its own appeal!

I had a Probe as a Demo back in 89. It was ok. At the time everyone looked at it because it was so different but in terms of driving it was just another FWD 4 cylinder car.

Love my 94 forrest green gt now that i got seat extensions 113,000 easy miles , love the posi tract

I own a 96 gt and drive it everyday and love it. Its a matter of opinion but mine is that the sn95 is one of the best looking mustangs. Its almost a 30 year old car and still has plenty power and its bone stock except i have the exhaust dumped at the rear wheels.

Picked up a '98 Cobra ragtop to take to cars shows in S Fla. This thing is a BLAST to drive, especially with the top down. I've been up-grading it; Flowmaster axle-back, new progressive springs, new shocks (there's 6, all had lost their nitrogen gas), aluminum driveshaft, 3-row radiator, MSD plug wires, new steering wheel, Pioneer digital in-dash looks factory & uses existing amps & speakers, all fluids changed. Only major fix: the hydoboost brake booster needed rebuilding (powered by power steering fluid, not vacuum). Doesn't need it but will do a clutch soon...29,700 miles!

I had a 98 chrome yellow V6 sport with a 5 speed. I drove it over 200 thousand miles commuting to work. loved it and the only modifications were dual exhaust and a cold air kit.

That's sounds like a nice car!

I was looking for a car for racing in Targa events in New Zealand back in 2010. I found a 96 Cobra which was an ex-Japan car which already had a cage, race seats, modified bilsteins etc in it. I bought it for the equivalent of around $9k usd. Since then I have done over 20,000 mostly race miles on it and modified it reasonably heavily but without touching engine internals. The Cobra of 96-97 was the pick of the bunch of the SN95 in my opinion. Very easy to make better with lowered and stiffened suspension, upgraded brakes etc, although the standard Cobra brakes are pretty good anyway. And the best part about them is the sound. Pull the rear mufflers off and they are one of the best sounding Mustangs ever. I also have a 2000 Gt that has many of the same mods done but just doesn't sound as good, have just sold a 2011 Coyote GT, also lowered, and have just recently bought a 2022 Series 2 RTR which I absolutely love.

Hey Tony. Nice informational video on this particular era. Couple of things though. The 3.8 liter only had 145hp and the 98 4.6 was upgraded to 225hp. If I can make a suggestion, when giving the historical information on these cars, maybe throw in a little more personal perspective as you’ve owned them.

The cobra is the only sn95 worth owning , IMO

94/95 SN95 are the ones to have 5.0/302

These were pretty excellent cars, total upgrade from the overrated ugly Foxbody that I’m just not a fan of whatsoever, these were so much better than the competition & still look pretty modern too. I also think the SN95’s have aged significantly well, I didn’t really like them when I was younger but they’ve definitely grown on me over the years. Lastly, I think the Cobra, Bullitt, Saleen & Roush of this gen are some of the best looking Mustang’s.

@ddwalker3744

2 ай бұрын

Man I miss my old 91 5.0

i agree as long as you buy the 94/95 and 97 up or the cobra or some other special model with more power. the 94/95 have a 5.0 engine that is easier and more responsive to modify. the 97 and up had 260 and the cobra 305 hp. the 96 had only 215 hp and the performance just isnt there. plus it cost way too much to modify and you will probably get 300 hp? just not worth it. in my opinion having owned a 96 saleen stay away if it isnt a higher hp model. skip 94 and up, anything GT and get the cobra or mach 1 or terminator. the engine is great and reliable but you can get that with a honda or toyota, a mustang is about performance and the sn95 mustang GT just doesnt have it.

Also, forgot to mention, while I do feel handling, ride, and braking was improved over the previous Fox, the reason the Mustang community is generally less enthusiastic about the 94-98s was their lackluster acceleration at the time compared to the Fox (due to the weight gain), and currently the rounded jelly bean 90s styling that hasn’t aged so well. Sorry for the long rant. Lol

The SN95 is literally the most affordable sporty car a car guy can have in 2024. Every other car that was supposed to be an affordable fun car has been abused that the only ones that remain go for $15k+ A beat up GTI with 180k will set you back $7k, and one in decent condition will cost you $15k.

dude, the fox mustangs have ALWAYS been popular, even when the SN95 was the current bodystyle. Hell even when the S197 came out, the fox was still hot. The SN95 has NEVER been "hot" (unless you count the very niche terminator cobra, and maybe the 2 cobra R models, but those are just specialty in general) and I've had 3 of them, so I'm not exactly a hater. Maybe I'll eat my words in 10 years, but I just don't see any SN95 outside of a cobra being worth anything, and even the cobra it'll have to be a low mile very clean example

@TonysFordsandMustangs

I have to disagree. The SN95 sales numbers speak for themselves and the FOX #'s trailed off quite a bit near the end of production. The 87-93 Fox GT's could be had for next to nothing on the used market when the SN95 first appeared on the scene and have only in the last 10 years have really started to be appreciated by the collector market. As with many things what is old is new again. That will be the fate of the SN-95's as well. As soon as most of the nice 1st gen foxbody's are snapped up and locked away by collectors people will look for an alternative that isn't priced out of their market range. That's when the SN-95's prices will start to escalate especially the Cobra's.

I've never been a fan of the exterior styling on the SN95. It was a time when Ford was going overboard with their "bubble design", and the SN95 looked more economical than the last few years of the original Fox Body. Ford did a good job with the New Edge. It was a smoother, cleaner exterior design that had a more muscular look than the SN95.
