96-2002 Cobra's are a joke, unless they are heavily modded. i test drove a 96 Cobra, full exhaust, upped compression from planed heads, MSD ignition 5 speed with 3.73's and it was a slouch compared to my Z28 with a SLP LMI and a lid. stock gears and clutch too.

Those cobras can be made to run fast...they love blowers. 96-98 were the better ones. The heads flow almost 300cfm stock if I remember right. Ive had 4 mustangs...forgive me.

Those cars are turds. I've wasted countless with almost all the 11 F-Bodies i've owned. Get a cold air intake and some gears and a better cat-back and your good

I dont know if I believe that...

96-98 cobras are nice cars and can be setup to run with the rigt gear. They are typicaly an equal match for an LT1.

seriously doubt ford makes a head that flows that well!
96 cobra should not give you a hard time unless it has spray on it(150)and/or if it has 4.30 gears and sticky tires,those motors LOVE RPM

I used to think those Cobras were so badass...I hate to say it tho they are some of the best sounding vehicles. I love the tone they have.
