Hi I was wondering the differences in the engine in a gt v/s a cobra (parts, horspower, 1/4 mile times) on 94-95 cars. been away from mustangs for a while now and i'm thinking of getting another one, I've missed my 95 ever since I sold it. I was thinking of getting another gt but after seeing what they are selling for I think I'll be buying a cobra. Thanks for the replys Robert.
ngine/trans The Cobra engine was under rated at 240bhp from the factory campared to the GT's 225bhp and was only available with a 5 speed and 3.08 rear end gears. Cast iron GT40 heads Cast aluminum Cobra intake manifold Crane 1.7 rocker arms 24lb fuel injectors Cobra specific ECU (computer) "Cobra" stamped valve covers with build sticker and signature Engine oil cooler Front mounted power steering fluid cooler Lightened flywheel Phosphate coated transmission gears Overdriven waterpump pulley Cobra specific camshaft Cam specs: Duration: 227°/Intake & 270°/Exhaust Lift: .485/.485 Intake/Exhaust Lobe separation: 118.5° Suspension/Brakes 13" Front brakes 11.65" rear brakes "Cobra" embossed front calipers Cobra specific brake booster Cobra specific rear sway bar Cobra specific shocks/struts/springs K-member that is slightly stiffer than the GT's No strut tower brace Interior Steering wheel center / Airbag cover embossed with "Cobra" White faced gauges 160mph speedometer "Cobra" embroidered floor mats Exterior Cobra specific 17" wheels Cobra specific rear spoiler with integrated 3rd brake light Cobra specific front bumper cover SVT emblem on decklid (95-up, not on 94) Cobra emblems on front fenders (no 5.0L emblems) "Crystal" (clear) headlights Round cobra specific foglights Other info: The 94-95 Cobra (and GT) came with a 60mm throttlebody, not the 65mm alot of people believe it to have. The 93 cobras came with a 65mm. Although the 94-95 Cobra came with 24lb injectors it still uses the same MAF (mass airflow meter) as the GT. The Cobra specific computer compensates for the 24lb injectors. Many people say the Cobra came with underdriven pulleys but from what i've heard it only has a Cobra specific overdriven waterpump pulley. Even if they are slightly underdriven they are nowhere near the same as real underdrive pulleys.
actually the 94-95 gt's were rated at 215 hp it was the 87-92 fox body cars were rated at 225 though the cobra specs were right unless we bring up the 95 cobra r with 300 hp and 365 ft/lbs
