Default difference in rears

Does anyone know what the difference is between the 8.8gt rear and the 8.8cobra rear? prefferably in 94?

i need to buy a rear and was considering picking up a cobra instead of the gt... but that would be pointless if they were exactly the same...

the 94-98 are shorter then 99-04 mustangs.

Otherwise they are the same only difference is cobras have slightly better gearing (3.55). I dont know why you are looking for a different 8.8 when your car allready has one.
