Love at first sight is a real thing I found out today when I took what is now my 97 cobra svt on a test drive. I drove it out of the lot and just drove easy and it was very comfortable then I said im gonna floor it and pushed the petal down at 2500rpm in second and well coming from a 91 1.6 Miata to a 4.6 liter beast it was amazing honestly it pulls and doesn't stop past 100. Like the way it looks to if your looking into mabey buying one and are reading this stop reading reviews and go test drive one on craigslist and you will never regret it!!!!!!!!!! 9.5/10
May 30, 2014very good car for driving long distances it is very fun to ride around in brilliant engine and the interior is the coolest you can get i would definitely recommended this to one of my mates overall it is a excellent car to buy
February 15, 2011The closest thing to the muscle cars of the past. Great overall car. Super reliable, fun to drive, and looks great doing it. Capable of a LOT of horsepower and torque... just throw some boost at it. Currently it needs a little tlc and a rebuild soon but has not missed a beat!

March 3, 2010I bought this car about a month ago and haven't regretted buying it for a second. This car, tweaked by SVT (Speical Vehicle Team) is a drivers car. It's performance limits are set very high, yet the car can be driven daily without an issue with comfort. The engine, which is hand built by SVT, is a smooth running, high revving, 32 valve V8. This engine rockets this car to 60 mph in under 6 seconds. If you want a car that is fun, fast, affordable, good looking, and gathers a lot of respect from other car lovers, this car is for you.
July 29, 2008I bought this "bubble" Cobra to build a road race car. This is my favorite body style Mustang ever. I built the 4V engine with the aid of my mentor Dan, and we've added 6P brakes and lots of road race prep goodies!
July 31, 2009It was a fun car to have and drink when it was working, but I went through 3 engines in that car!
March 16, 2008Love the way it drives, and how it handles. Of course it's not the fastest out there but it has power to play around with. Only thing bad is how it creaks when it hits bumps, and the exhaust has a rattle to it. I don't really don't care what GM fanatics say, because the only thing that matters is what I think.
June 24, 200918,000 miles on a 11 year old car...awesome. if only i could get more than 15 mpg
June 14, 2008i have owned the car for 2 years and absoutly love it! with a off-road x-pipe and magna pack mufflers it sounds amazing! you need a short throw shifter bc the stock one is too "rubbery" i get looks where ever i go and with 305 hp its pretty quick!
February 13, 2008it is a good car to drive but if you turn it in to a race car, then it becomes the greatest car to drive. but they is always going to be problems with it cause you are modifying it. it will be come a fun car to drive at the track.
