i almost bought an 'o1 cobra because of (among other things) the IRS, i love it. since my mustang is my dd i would kill for an IRS!!


as stated before, if you can get past the color (i couldn't, i hate white cars) then go for it, cobras are nice rides and compared to a 97 gt convertible it should feel a little quicker

It will even feel alot quicker than a 99-04 GT if u can get past the wheelhop.

No, but ive road in one & watched them launch. But I do have an 03 Mach, which is rated @ 15 less hp than a 99 Cobra & my car feels a hell of a lot quicker than a 99-04 GT. & BTW, ive never even raced @ the track, but i like to launch hard on the street so irs wheelhop would bother me alot. Of course they ride alot smoother than a solid axle.

Ive actually heard the the Machs were underatted from the Factory so that they wouldnt mess up Cobra sales, but Im not sure if this is true. I have never dyno'd my car so I dunno what kind of #s its putin down. I think if a 99-01 Cobra had a solid axle, it would be pretty equivelant to a Mach, although the Machs do have the 03-04 Cobra heads.

99 cobras didnt come with the suede seats tho,look like gts without the running pony on them.it pretty much is a mach 1 when it comes to power,just toss in 4:10s and your the same since machs came with 3:55

I'd do it. Though i think it'll be harder than you think to sell your car and get the cobra in a quick time frame. Unless you have the cash to get the cobra and then take your time selling your car.
