This rare beauty has a pretty interesting story on how it got to Texas Toys. A longtime customer of Texas Toys contacted us and wanted to trade his 98 Cobra on a New Shelby GT. (you can view the car he purchased on our website, the black one with the white stripes down the middle of the hood) Anyway, he did not want his new car shipped, so we offered to drive it to him. After delivery of the Shelby, I had one of the best experiences driving this Cobra back to Houston Texas. I kind of wrote a detailed description of my personal experience below. Again, this was just my opinion. I also listed the specs below.
One trip down an on-ramp in this Blue Cobra Coupe proved to me that not everybody needs, or even wants, this much power. The Mustang screamed to extra-legal speeds in seconds, without using the last two forward gears. Under the dual-scooped hood beats a 4.6-liter dual-overhead cam V8 engine that produces 305 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 300 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm. Obviously, this engine is happiest in the upper rev range, and that?s where it will probably spend much of its time in the hands of the new owner. But what do I know, I'm just an employee who loves cars and was doing my job.
The route I drove this Cobra included several tunnels bored through rock in the foothills of West Texas, and the sensual exhaust note was so enticing that through each portal I put the windows down, shifted into neutral, and revved the DOHC V8 to enjoy mellifluous reverberations of power. SVT claims that the Cobra will accelerate from zero to 60 in a scant 5.9 seconds, will cover the quarter-mile in 13.99 seconds at 101.6 mph, and tops out at 152 mph. Not only is the Cobra faster and more delightful to listen to than a stock Mustang GT, but it rides and handles better. Engineers went for a more compliant ride with the Cobra, and their suspension tweaks have worked. The Cobra?s massive P245/45ZR-17 B.F. Goodrich Comp T/A tires stay planted on all but the most rippled pavement surfaces, and passengers are largely excluded from the severe jolts meted out by the lower-rung GT. This means that the Cobra serves as a great touring car as well as a hard-core performance machine. Power rack-and-pinion steering provides excellent feel, but the turning circle is rather wide for such a small vehicle. Huge 13-inch front vented iron disc brakes with twin-piston calipers combine with 11.65-inch rear vented discs and a three-channel Bosch ABS system to haul the Cobra down from any velocity quickly and safely.
As I twisted and turned along the rock terrian around me, going fast enough to test the Mustang?s moves but minding the fact that this is a popular spot for hikers, bikers, and the occasional dope-smoking teen driver, I decided to slow down.. With a weight distribution front/rear of 57/43, the Cobra steered perfectly when I entered a hairpin turn a little too fast....but when I needed the horse power, it was there. I feel buyers will find that the Mustang Cobra blends the power and muscular good looks of the traditional muscle car with the finesse and sophistication of the BMW M3. After my afternoon behind the wheel, it appears to me they have hit the bulls-eye right smack in the middle.
All I can say, is, "WOW, WHAT A CAR!
