I was just wondering what percentage of you guys prefer the looks of an sn-95 to the S197s. Do you think the 94/04s look better or do you prefer an 05- current car. Note, this is not a model specific poll. No "03 sb Cobras look better than an 07 V6". This is just in general between all the body styles.

I prefer sn cars to the 05-09 but I am really starting to like the 2010+

Aside from the Terminator, I'd much rather have an S-197.

I like 99-04 most then 10-11 then 94-98 then 05-09.


As far as interior I could say the same. I cant stand the 05-09 dash it looks too plain for me. the 94-02 cupholders suck if it is a m5

The SN-95 looks much more modern in styling than the S-197. 05-09 was a regression of styling and looked bloated and bland IMO. 10-present are a HUGE improvement over the 05-09s. I think the 94-98s look the best, 01-04s close behind. I would have said 99-04s but the 99/00 had a few minor cosmetic touches that made them look worse than the 01-04s.

So you prefer the 03/04 Cobras to a GT500? What about a 98 GT to an 08 GT?

Ehh, the S197's interior aren't that bad IMO. They are a little plain but the ergonomics are better.

I have owned and im on my 3rd sn95, and i have owned an 05' s197, i love the body style of the sn95, they are cheap and easy to mod and rather light, altho i can say that there is more leg room in the s197. im 6-2, but the car is also heavier. both very nice cars but i have to stick with what i have.

I'm biased ;)

But looks aside, the SN-95 just feels smaller and more nimble. An S197 chassis under an SN-95 body would be my ideal.

SN95 FTW. Much more modern and developed look. Especially the 94-98. Best front facia and hood combo goes to the 96-98 Cobra's. Best rear goes to 03-04 Cobra's.

It really makes me wonder what direction Ford is going to go in when they decide to ditch the retro look.

I've had 2 Mustangs.. a 97 Cobra and now a 03 Cobra.. when the 99's came out, they were to me ugly (remember I still had my 97) but then I got used to them over the years and when the 03 Cobras came out I HAD to get one.. the S197 has NEVER grown on me like that in any of it's years, and yeah, the 2010+ is better looking than the Accord/Mustang (yeah, compare an older Accord's ass end in profile to the 05-09 Mustang, they look very similar)
