SN-95 easily.
Would you rather have an SN95 Cobra or Edge GT?

its not a dumb idea to daily one, thats just your opinion so i take it like that. Like i said my car was extremely reliable, even in the snow it wasn't bad. Plus it had minimal issues over the years, and of course the parts i replaced because i wanted to mod the car.
Don't generalize all fox's because of your issues with yours. Not all are gonna be headaches.
If i had to i'd daily one again. But when i do get another one, i'll have another vehicle to drive because i'll want to keep it in as good as condition as possible.
I would say Cobra.
with the prices of 94-98 cobras, great deals, and a lot of mods before you get to new edge price. not too mention they have nice clean lines..
Haha THIS! I don't know what ford was thinking in the color department on that one. That cat poop brown comment almost made me fall out of my chair. It's true though, you try to get used to it and then another mustang rolls up next to you and u want to slam ur face against the dashboard. I love my Black with Red inserts for the 10th package...especially since the red matches my TR paint.
I'd definitly hands down, without even thinking about it go with the sn95 cobra. Its like that old book Animal farm.... 2 valves good 4 valves better!
SN95 Cobras are some of the best looking Mustangs ever. I'd still love to have one.
Go for a new edge cobra, then you get the best of both worlds. Plus ive seen new edge cobras sellin for under 10k
I still say Cobra!

a fox body is an aging platform in which the newest fox body is turning 17 years old with most Fox Bodies already being well over 20 years old. I don't care what you say, 17-23 year old cars are not reliable anymore.
i`m going to say 97-cobra prefer cause issues with 96`s & the weird crossbreed stuff the did to the 98`s & not a big fan of the sohc motors unless boost is thrown @ them
i`ve had a few of both
but the like hybred said is a good idea
loved my mach want another one
i want a termi swapped SN-95 also the SN is one of my all time fav. body styles
when i comes to new-edge its 03-04 cobra & 03-04 mach-1`s & really like the mach`s with the 99-01 front bumper swap

SN95 Cobra for me for sure.
Sounds like you had a bad run of luck to me man. I've also had 3 of them (still have one) and all of mine were good cars. The one I had now I started rebuilding at just under 200k miles, and it gave me almost no trouble at all. I had an 88GT before that which gave me a couple of issues over 2 years, and I also had a 93GT convertible with a blower on it that I drove for a while.
Now...I will agree that I wouldn't recommend one for daily driver duty, but for reasons other than reliability. I love my fox to death, but it's loud, rattles, and drives like crap in foul weather. It has no anti-lock brakes, and lacks a passenger side airbag. The SN-95 makes for a better DD, esp the 4.6, although while I was still DD'ing the cobra I found myself missing the fox bodies hatchback more than a couple times.
To the OP, if I were you, I'd drive both a cobra and a GT in the same afternoon and see which one you like better. Don't take our word for it.
new edge GT, I like the styling a lot better. If I had one I'd do it in flat black everything, saleen kit with center exhaust, IRS, gutted, make it into a badass looking track car. Thats just me though.
I've had both. My '03 GT vert I bought with weld-in flowmasters in it and built it completely up. Vortech s-trim, full exhaust, and completely redid every part of the suspension except for the stock k-member and spindles. Even put an '03 Cobra IRS in it. Still had the stock trans, clutch and longblock though. My '98 Cobra I bought with pretty much everything already modded and have redone a lot of it so far. Built motor, T-trim, T56, built rear, built suspension, everything.
After driving both in similar fashion, I'd say without a doubt that I loved my GT way more. It drove better and just felt like a better car to me. I sold it because I got into offroading a bit, but then realized I missed having a fast car that handled like a dream. The interior seemed nicer for some reason, even though it's pretty much the same. I just like the new edge body style more and I had an '03 Cobra bumper on the GT which made it look really good. Got more compliments on the GT as well, especially from girls.

New Edge. I don't like the looks of the SN95s.
This.
But it's all in what YOU want. I personally can't stand the way SN95s look. I love new edge cars, more so than 2005-up
