I was talking to one of my buddies tonight and I was telling him about what I have done to my car and such. He was like why don't you just call it a Cobra, my reply was :shrug: I don't think I should. I am still missing key ingredients of being a Cobra, like brakes, interior stuff, my rear bumper says Mustang like the 99's, my rear taillights are tinted, so you can't see the ambers, and I have a Roush S3 kit on it. I always just call my car a V6, with some modifications. Should I call it a Cobra if someone asks, and save myself the trouble of explaining everything? :burn:

+1. Just keep in mind ... you will get alot of :burn: if it wasn't original OEM. In my personal opinion.... with the exception of the Mach 1, the essence of a svt cobra is the 4v modular motor!

The essence was the 4v Mod motor, the IRS, and the brakes the rest is just eye candy.

I wouldn't call it a Cobra. I have a saleen kit on mine. I know it's not a Saleen. I don't call it a Saleen. It's just a Cobra with a body kit. Yours is just a V6 with a motor swap.

I'm glad Mach 1s have "Rs" stamped right into the VINs.

I normally just say, it is a V6. Then I get the :??: look, so then I have to tell them it has a Cobra Drivetrain....and then they proceed to ask me who did the work yada yada. Been saying this for over a year now.

That is special. A Cobra sacrificed its life to live again as an organ donor. :rockon:

Go by what the vin says.

That is how I roll. I had never thought about calling it a Cobra, because they only made a certain amount of them every year, a special car. The hand of God touched everyone of them, after 99 at least :bash:, and the headed out to proud owners.

well, if you called it a cobra and I was around, I'd probably call you out on it.

That said, call it a ferrari if that makes you happy, but expect some skepticism.
