The only thing I thought was (is) stupid is the running horse emblem in the grille of a Cobra. They should have come from the factory like so:

"Somebody" needs to get a life !!
...Beyond all the standard criteria used for marking a cars collectibility, the 1993 Cobra offers something more appealing. It was the first time in a long time that there was a true, performance oriented, "special" Mustang offered by Ford. The 1969-70 Shelby Mustangs marked the beginning of a period of decline for the Mustang. The oil embargo and other factors resulted in variations of Mustangs that lacked the muscle and mystique associated with the name. So in 1992 when Ford's SVT group announced production on a new Cobra, it was seen as a significant commitment for bringing the Mustang back as Americas most desirable muscle car...

Why are you trying to start arguments. That's twice now.Storms OF War said:I have a question. A mustang is a horse. A cobra is a snake. Where the hell is there anything even remotely similar about them????? The Cobra is from what i understand the best available version of the Mustang. I'm very curious as to why they added the title of Cobra to the Mustang. It just makes no sense to me. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!

It's not really a big deal. Check out this thread for the other time I was talking about. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=413082&page=1&pp=40COBRA90GT said:The guy seemed like he was asking a genuine question...
I could see how someone with very little historical knowledge about mustangs might have some difficulty in understanding why Ford chose to use the "cobra" moniker when the SVTs first appeared in '93...
BTW - What was his first "argument" about? If it's something that needs the attention of staff, feel free to shoot a PM my way (or fiveofanatic).
Yes, I understand you did not blatantly start an argument. But you would have to expect some of us to get defensive. You came onto a Mustang board asking why they are so slow. Let's face it, that will piss some people off. But if you remember, I somewhat agreed with you.Storms OF War said:Damn, caught again. Yes, i live to start arguements in the form of serious questions. It's two totally different names. On the other post, some people actually gave me reasons (which is exactly what i wanted.) If i wanted to start arguements, i'd say something that would totally piss everyone one off no matter who they were like saying some form of import is better than mustangs or just straight out- mustangs suck. That my friend is how you start an arguement. I thought i stated it in a friendly way. I simply asked why the ones i saw were slow. Maybe the one that stomped on it at the light and the guy trying to pass the truck were the same car. I saw two red mustangs but there are a million red mustangs out there. Maybe it was someone with a loud ass dual exhuast system on a v6, who knows but no one said mustangs suck or anything, you guys just got defensive.
