Hahahahahahahaa, my dad actually bought the one I finally found him when mom was out of town, she comes home and instead of a blue 4 cylinder fox body sitting in front of the house, there's a white 96 Cobra! God I wish I had seen the look on her face!
As far as these motors grenading with 400 horses, that's not something that I've ever heard of unless there is a shitty tune involved. There's a local SN-95 that's been running around for years with 550 to the wheels and a good tune. It's all in the tune man!
Think of things this way...
You got the car for much less than these things should be selling for considering what they are, who cares if the mods are a bit more expensive? What's the alternative, you get a GT for a few thousand less and then dump all that money you just saved and then some into a shatload of mods just to get it where the Cobra is stock, then you spend a bit less money on a supercharger? Problem there is that it won't put down as much power or have as much potential as a Cobra, christ we can put 1,000+ horse power through our blocks!
The Cobra motor is an incredible platform and can make gobs of power yet still be streetable and to me that makes it well worth the fact that you pay a bit more for mods.
