Re: My New Ride
I am not sure, that was one thing i didnt like. I love the turbine wheels, but if it had to be 5lug then those are the wheels i would do myself.
As far as performance mods, Paxton Novi 1000, custom cam, tuned, spring, retainers, retainer locks.... I am really tired so i will add more when i think about it

Re: My New Ride
Here is the exact differences, other than obvious Fascia
All '93 Cobras came with a modified 5.0L High Output engine. The Cobra motor was fitted better flowing GT40 iron cylinder heads, 1.7:1 roller rockers, a unique Cobra upper manifold and GT40 lower manifold. The better flowing intake tract was supported with a larger 65mm throttle body and mass air meter calibrated for 24lb/hr fuel injectors. A special camshaft was designed for the Cobra motor. All told the Cobra 5.0L motor was rated at 235 HP/280 ft.lb. Torque, 30 more horsepower than the standard Mustang 5.0L engine that year.
To handle the increased power Ford modified the five speed Borg Warner T5 transmission. Internal bearings were revised and phosphate coated gears helped increase the torque rating of the transmission. There was no automatic transmission option for the '93 Cobra. Ford SVT also increased the differential ratio to 3.08:1 over the stock 2.80:1.
Ford utilized the four-lug rear axle assembly from the Thunderbird to give the Cobra large four-wheel vented disc brakes a first for any V8 Mustang. The 93 Cobra also came with larger 17 x 7.5' wheels and low-profile ZR rated Goodyear Eagle tires, enabling an advertised top speed of 140 mph. Valving changes in the struts and shocks, stiffer bushings and a smaller front sway bar, all result in a suspension tuned specifically to the Cobra. Unlike the GT and LX Mustangs, the Cobra is designed to offer a near neutral handling balance, and maximum contact patch between the tires and road at all times.
