no it will not be a cobra it will be a cobra wannabe.. and it would take massive amounts of work and money and by the time youre done with it you would have very few parts left on the car originally from the v6

^ What he said. I answered a question like this earlier today, but can't seem to find the thread.
You would have to change just about everything. Engine, transmission, suspension, front and rear bumpers, interior, rear spoiler, etc. Not to mention, the VIN will always state that the car was a V6 from the factory and you'll end up spending more to make a Cobra, than what it costs to just go out and buy one.

An '02 for $6500? Wow... That is a pretty good deal considering they only made 100 '02s.

It was probably an '01. There was an '01 Cobra going for $6900 around here about a month ago.
