All this talk about how uncomfortable the stock GT seats are....makes me glad my big old luxobarge Cougar comes with nice comfy lazyboys. Best seats I've ever sat in.

I actually like the Gt seats. I think they are very comfortable. I condition mine weekly so they are very soft. Everytime i have friends in the pass seat, they say how soft the seats are. I do notice if i fall behind on conditioning, esp in the winter then dry up and start to develop cracks and feel stiff. A few weeks of conditioning works out the wrinkles and gets them soft again


I do like the Cobra seats better, but since everyone hates the Gt seats so much, i can find them cheap. I'm currently looking for another set of dark charcoal leather seats for my 5.0, so if anyone in New england has a set let me know!

I've gotten nothing but compliments for these. IMO these are MUCH better than the stock GT seats. One of my favorite mods to date.

OK...I take it back...Your cars not GHEY. U actually have one of the best cars on stangnet, & those seats look sick. BUT...having Cobra snakes on a GT is like wearing bootleg Jordans. I guess on the interior it doesnt matter that much.Everyone on here has to admit that when u see a regular Stang with Cobra emblems on the fenders or "Cobra" embossed on the back bumper, it bothers you a little.

It wasn't that GT seats felt uncomfortable to me. My problem was the lack of support. They didn't feel like something that belonged in a sports/performance car. Hell, I remember sitting in a chick's Acura and immediately noticed how much more supportive and sporty those seats were.

If I could have everything my way, I'd delete the Cobras. But it's not possible so I've learned to deal with it.

^ I love those seats. I have a buddy who drives a torch red 10th Ann. terminator coupe. If my interior was black, I might've gotten those instead.

Having Cobra seats doesn't make your car gay.

How come lots of us have Cobra brakes? BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER!

Now if you put Cobra emblems, rear bumper, stickers, etc on your car...yeah, that's pretty lame. But seats, give me a break!

Go get those seats mang!!!

I honestly thought about doing a grill delete and adding the snake in the grill.

It's all about the name. It doesnt matter if your car is 100% mechanically identical to a Cobra. SVT owners detest ppl who label their Mustangs a Cobra, even if it does have a 4V engine. I personally think it's silly getting bent out of shape over what someone else does to their car. But at the same time, I would never call my car something it isn't, even if it was a perfect clone.
