96 and up cobra's

[grrrrrrr]

Did 96 and up cobras come with a bumper that said cobra, or a bumber that said mustang? I saw a mustang today that sounded alright and SVT and cobra badging but the bumber said mustang. I was pretty sure it supposed to say cobra... anyone know?

94-95 said Mustang,
96+ said Cobra

also, 94 did NOT have a SVT badge on the trunk, also....check the tailights to figure out year (horizontal=94-95, vertical 96-98)

Yah, I kinda figured something was fishy, thats why I was asking... sounded a little odd too... I wonder if it's possible to make a V6 sound close to a V8?

Actually, it's not too hard. I put a GT take-off exhaust on my 94 V6, and a lot of folks mistake it for a GT by sound alone. I even fooled a friend of mine, who's heard the car before. He heard a Mustang driving up, and thought it was a GT. To his great surprise, I pull up in the V6. It helps it's a true dual-exhaust, not the "y" adaptor kit that's available.

Like super302 said, check the taillights and the rest of the car. I believe the 94-95 Cobra's has the "crab" spoiler with the 3rd brake light in the spoiler. That's a dead giveaway if the 'stang doesn't have that one, or has two 3rd brake lights.

I have never heard a V6 that sounded like a V8

I would know - I bought a take-off Cobra spoiler for my V6, and I've got the dual 3rd brake lights. But I'm not looking to be a Cobra wannabe - I just like the spoiler. The V6'll eventually get a Cobra motor in it so I can turn it into a true Cobra clone.

I second that, sometimes they may be loud, and sometimes may sound good, but they ALWAYS sound like a V6 to me. There's just a totally different sound.
