It seems everyone here has a cobra. Evryone that has a 5.0 has a Cobra sticker on the back left. No one usualy says anything about it but one guy in my class at school his is a 89, we have to argue with him but i cant convince him it isnt a cobra. Can somone help with this, what should i tell him i dont know much about cobras. and he says in a few months he will be pushing like 375hp wich i doubt concidering i revd at him in my beat up V6 and he did nothing.

Tell him SVT didn't make any Cobras till 1993.

One of the easiest ways to tell is the rims. The 96-97's came with different rims from the 98 model, and they are very expensive because no one reproduces them. The 98 rims are desirable and cheap, but they easily give away the front rotors which should say "cobra" on them. Remember that the 94-95's came with a V6 rear bumber, so don't just assume someone stuck an svt badge on the rear decklid on those models. Also, if your friend doesn't believe you tell him to call SVT himself. They will confirm he doesn't have one just by his VIN #.

If it wasn’t for these v-6 cobras the import board wouldn’t have much to talk about……..

I actually know this one guy from the gym that owns a 96 V6 with a cobra hood & cobra emblems. He would circle around the parking lot reving his V6 like he's the sh!t. He walks around the gym like he's swole a$$ fawk and this guy have nothing but rolls & no swoles. What a moron

This might explain it.My 88 also has the Cobra name on the back left and these decals are still available from Ford.

First of all, let’s get the proper terminology straight, because this is the key to generating the least amount of confusion about these cars… all 1984–1992 Mustang GT’s sold in Canada were marketed as “Mustang Cobra GT’s” by Ford. Hopefully by using ”Canadian Mustang Cobra GT” or “Cobra GT” for short, people will not be confused by other “Cobras” produced by Ford including the 1979-1981 Mustangs equipped with the Cobra package and the 1993-up SVT Cobras (more on these models later in the article).

The term “Cobra GT” is found in 1984-1992 Canadian Ford sales brochures and other Ford-produced literature in place of the term “GT” used in U.S. Mustang literature. In addition, the words “Mustang Cobra GT” were also used on the window stickers of all 1984-1992 GT’s sold in Canada. The term “Cobra GT” was a direct replacement for the word “GT” in Ford of Canada Mustang literature during this time period. Interestingly, no other Mustang models such as the L, GL, GLX, LX, LX 5.0L Sport or Turbo GT received a different name in Canada. Canadians report that this “Mustang Cobra GT” terminology is also used when registering and insuring these cars in Canada. Canadian owners have also told us that even though Ford did not call the 1982-1983 and 1993 Mustang GT's "Cobra GT's", this terminology mistakenly shows up for 1982-1983 and 1993 Mustang GT's in insurance databases.

The addition of the “Cobra” name leads many people to believe that these cars have additional performance equipment or special features over a regular U.S. GT, but that is NOT the case. The bottom line is 1984-1992 Canadian Cobra GT’s are simply the Canadian version of the U.S.-sold 1984–1992 Mustang GT. The difference is in NAME only; there are NO fundamental differences between the Canadian and U.S. GT models. Performance-wise, the 1984-1992 Canadian Cobra GT’s were absolutely no different than their American GT counterparts (including horsepower figures, available engines, transmissions and suspensions). This fact has been verified through a number of sources including the comparison of Canadian vs. U.S. Ford sales brochures and individual car’s build sheets and window stickers.

So...............what are you trying to say?

Snake1 · 09-22-2005

like talking to a post.

1996gtstang · 09-22-2005

i was talkin bout SVT Cobras,,and they didnt make any till 93,,,but this all started about some idiot doing all SVT cobra body kit and emblems with a V6 and not even a modded V6,,thats all i wanted to get across to all,,,any one else ever see 1 of these fake powerless clones?????

**countymounty** · 09-25-2005

The Canadian Mustang Cobra has been talked about on here before……prior to SVT 93 the Cobra was a namesake only on ford cars, but this really has nothing to do with a sn95 v-6 fake cobra does it?

Falcon453 · 09-25-2005

Got a guy at school who has a fake cobra. I haven't really looked at it yet, I know it's a 93-98. I just glanced at it the time i saw it. Then one of my friends told me it's a fake cobra. I haven't gotten a chance to look at it since. He's hiding it lol.

creep · 09-26-2005

some kid at my old school had a fake saleen. he put s28 stickers and sideskirts on it.. i think that its sad they have to pretend to make there mustangs better. like they have to impress someone. just be proud of what u got no matter what it is.
