93 was the only year for the SVT cobra. in the fox years prior there were cobra's. but it seems they were only available in canada, and it was just a decal package. there was no performance advantage until SVT took over in 1993.

93 was the only year for Fox based Cobras. The Cobra was like 240 HP I think. GT 40 heads, 1.7 roller rockers, different computer, different injectors, different MAF, disc brake rear end, 17" wheels, etc.

GT's had the 225 HP HO 5.0 as standard, and LX as an option.

Well there are cobras here ( Im in winnipeg manitoba canada ) but like u said i think it is just a decal package. I was just unsure, all i figured was that the 93 was the best (real cobra). There is a 87 cobra for sale, and when i first saw it i was like wtf, so now it makes sense, thax guys heh

The Cobras were rated at 240, but the 93 GT/LX 5.0 were rated at 215 due to Ford changing the way they rate the power. The 215/240 was with the accessories being driven.

I know that 93 was the cobra and cobra-r 's but I also have a dealer brochure from 1990 that has a model called the cobra gt. Its a regular gt, but it is clearly called a cobra gt.
