However, the Cobra felt worlds nicer than my GT - I couldn't believe it, the IRS really improved the ride, felt very smooth and refined - the power delivery is outstanding as well, so smooth and effortless.

A stock Civic is certainly nicer in terms of build quality, oh, and reliability Although my Cobra was very reliable for the most part, just had freak things happen to it, not really a result of being poorly made, just shitty work done on it here and there by shops.

Cobra is a blast though, I think it looks great, performs very well for a Mustang, easy to make fast, and a hell of a lot of fun on the street - can't beat the feeling of that instant torque from the Eaton or a KB, and the whine.

You'll like it - just do your research on http://www.svtperformance.com before you buy, read up on what to check out and read up on the common mods/steps to modding - you probably already know a lot of it though - but it's a great site with excellent information and a lot of helpful people.
yeah parts for mustangs are perty cheap! if i ever got one the only thing i would do performance wise would be exhaust! always wanted a stock cobra cause of how nice they are
