T-5
Hi Gary,
A T-5's life is about the drivers technique (no power shifting), horsepower/torque & weight of the car. Let's face it, a Cobra usually weighs less than 2600 lbs. With a smooth driver the T-5 Z is a great gearbox if you're nice. If you on kill, expect it to die with a good shot of abuse....
Remember, no powershifting or sidestepping the clutch and you should enjoy it for years...
Oh last note, do not use a heavy performance clutch. I would recommend a King Cobra clutch. That will decrease the impact of a hard grabbing clutch.
