The Ford Cobra is described by car aficionados as the best production Mustang ever made. Speed freaks would not be disappointed with the Ford Cobra with its powerful engine that brings instant gratification. This beast of a car boasts of a 4.6-liter DOHC V-8 engine that features aluminum cylinders and a big cast iron block. These specifications improve the performance of the already whopping engine of the 2001 Mustang that produces 320 horsepower. The secret: supercharger and intercoolers installed ups the hp to a mind-blowing 390. The supercharger also increases torque from 317 lb.-ft to an almost unbelievable 390 lb.-ft.

The Ford Cobra's performance on the road is simply impressive. This multi-dimensional car can zoom from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. The best thing about the Ford Cobra is that it cost half as much as cars that run half as fast. Indeed, the Ford Cobra's powerful acceleration is the best reason to buy it.

When it comes to power, Ford Cobra is always in its lead. However it is not only in this aspect that Ford Cobra is best, its wonderful design and smooth handling is also a credit for this car. Apparently, these have been credited to its interiors and vital parts. For a true diehard racer, the Ford Cobra has metal pedals and titanium-cased gauges. Its drive shaft comes in aluminum that produces a smooth shifting. Adding to that are the seats fashioned with leather for a cozy and comfortable fit. Another highlight for Ford Cobra is its IRS or the independent rear suspension system, a development from older Mustangs. With IRS, Ford Cobra is more stabilized thanks to its tubular cross-brace. A ride in Ford Cobra will be totally moderate, neither too hard nor too soft. It also has an improvised steering feel compared to Mustang.

It performs better in the road as Ford Cobra make use of Goodyear F1 tires mounted on 17 inch cast-aluminum wheels. The performance of these tires has been renowned for driving through circuitous corners at moderate speed. For an easy slowdown, it employs 13-inch Brembo front disc brakes and 11.65 rear discs.

To stick on the road, the Ford Cobra employs Goodyear F1 tires mounted on 17 inch cast-aluminum wheels. The performance of these tires can be better appreciated when maneuvering through tight corners at medium speed. Stopping is also easy with the big 13-inch Brembo front disc brakes and 11.65 rear discs.

The Ford Cobra comes in either a coupe or convertible. What distinguish the Ford Cobra from other Mustangs are the aggressive exterior features which include the side skirts, front fascia and decklid. The front hood features a flow-through vent to prevent overheating.

The Ford Cobra is not perfect of course. Amidst its powerful engine, slick exterior and smooth interior are little flaws. For one, it is not as refined as its much more sophisticated and expensive cousins such as the Porsche 911 or the BMW 540i. In the end, the Ford Cobra's price is probably its biggest strength. Costing just above the $34,000 mark, the Ford Cobra is definitely a steal. And if you want to soup it up a little, the Ford Cobra can be with a rear spoiler, chrome wheels and a limited edition Mystichrome appearance for just a few bucks more.
