Albeit the 2001 SVT Cobra comes in at ~ 70 horsepower and torque less than the overshadowing "Terminator". Frequently, a 2001 owner hears comments such as, "Mach 1 is better", "why would you buy an 01, when you could of bought an 03-04", and some down-right disrespectful such as, "worst cobra ever made", or my personal favorite, "Slowbra".
While it may be easy to overlook the lighter weight Teskid aluminum block. From personal experience, I enjoy the reduced weight on the front-end during sharp accelerating turns. Thats right, turns, the original purpose of this car's design. At the time, Cobra outperformed rival pony car foe for its' ability to maneuver. The car may feel like a tank at times by 2019's standards, but the 2001 Cobra responds to a wide variety of driver inputs when it matters most.
Yet, the 2001 Cobra continues to be viewed anemically in the eyes of most car-enthusiast. However, the 2001 Cobra carries a different torch than the likes of the 03-04 Cobra and Mach 1. The 2001 SVT Cobra represents the turn of a new century, a time that changed the course of the United States and the World. A time when we were most close to our neighbors, a dying breed. I share great honor each time I growl past fellow Ford owners, in a true piece of American History.
