hey all!

i am a longtime member of stangnet though i haven't been on in ages. i had/have a 94 v6 stang that is no longer in service, she finally died. i was driving down the expressway and the rear end blew out. but she had 158,000 miles on her and she was my first car. i drove that car for 8 glorious years, and it was the reason i love stangs so much.

so now i'm looking and hoping i can find a 99/01 cobra as i cant afford a terminator, and i was wondering what the exact differences were between the 99 and the 01 aside from the obvious rear spoiler and seats? im going to look at a 01 on thursday just to check it out, as i still need to get financing in place.


i sure hope i can find one by the middle of next week and in my price range (14,500 MAX with as few miles as possible) or im going to have to look for a GT which would be better than what i had but not nearly as cool as a cobra

There really isn't too much a difference except for the spoiler/spoiler delete option, seats and the 99 Cobra having a T-45 transmission and polished wheel option. Everything else is about the same.

does the 01 have the 3650 trans that the gt has?

* The engine block was changed from the Teksid block to the Windsor Aluminum Plant or WAP block. The WAP block is regarded to be weaker than the previous Teksid block. Some 2001s received the Teksid, either from the factory or as a replacement motor
* Newer revision cylinder heads.
* Cobra-specific seats with a combination of leather and alcantara [suede-like microfiber] inserts - 1999 Cobras had normal Mustang seats.
* A rear bumper that reads "COBRA", instead of "MUSTANG", as the 1999 Cobra had.
* A rear badge on the trunklid was changed to say "SVT" instead of "SVT Cobra" as the 1999 Cobra had.
* The wheels for the 1999 and 2001 are 17x8. The '99 & '01 where sold with silver powdercoated aluminum wheels. The 2001 had the option of polished wheels in the same style.
* The T-45 transmission in the 1999 model was replaced by the 3650 in the 2001 model.
* The IRS halfshafts and differential were changed from 28 splines in 1999 to 31 splines in 2001.
* The spoiler was redesigned.
* The CD player was upgraded to a 6 disc unit.
* The center console and trim were redesigned.
* The emergency brake was fitted with a 'boot' of leather to cover the hole in the console where it protrudes.
* The headlights were changed from a chrome background to a black background. The newer headlights are sometimes referred a "smoked" or "tinted" but this only refers to the black background. The actual lenses is clear and identical to that of the 1999.
* The color of the odometer digits was slightly changed, and the color of the instrument cluster lighting was slightly changed as well.
