There was only one style of red on the '93 Cobra's (paint code ES).

Lemme break it down:
There were 1,891 TOTAL red Cobra's in '93 INCLUDING the 107 Cobra R units.

I'll break it down further:
• There were 362 red Cobra's with black cloth interior.
• There were 522 red Cobra's with grey cloth interior.
• There were 1007 red Cobra's with leather interior=1,891 units.

That pic was TOO SWEET! Nothin' like a Cobra reunion! Those other two guys just pull up or something? Where was that at? Wich one is yours?

Yeah Brian is on here... I really gotta check out the MMM forum, maybe join the club. But yeah, needs more Stangs.

I'm in St. Paul just shy of Maplewood.

well i know those guys, mines the one with the cobra r,s i have my stock rims with good tires but when i put them on they didnt look right i dont know if its cuz the car is lower or if im just used to the huge difrence in offset but i put the r's back on, anyways im in maplewood just shy of st paul 36-35E right on the corner there, yeah u should check out mmm its a decent clud and the organize track events and street events and shows, that pic was taken last weekend down in newport a few hours later we all got tickets for disordly conduct thats a bummer, but skinny with the teal one he ran a eclipse with 450 hp, 400ftp, and a wheel drive and still there was no stoping the cobra killed him on the top end and he even had stock tires on it was awsome

VERY nice car! I'm just the other side of Lake Phalen... so about 5 minutes from you! I NEVER see that many '93's around here... where do the other two live? Does the other red one have a blower?

You guys were at Redrock huh? Haven't been there in a while. You must of been at that Amoco then. I bet I've seen that Eclipse down there b4, pretty mean, but the Cobra's sound meaner! Can't believe they gave you tickets...

We should all hook up next spring then. I'll check out the MMM site and see wuzzup... Right now, my thoughts are to get the L sold ASAP in the spring (storage now), and prolly sell the Turbo Grand Prix (that I just got), and Procharge the piss outta the Cobra! :coolman:

Talk to ya' later!

NotSoTame - The first 9 Cobras produced in 93 were Vibrant Red without clearcoat. One of them actually made it's way to a customer and the rest stayed with Ford. Fords website is incorrect in stating that the 93 Cobra color is RioRed as we all know that it is Vibrant Red Clearcoat. :bash:

not sure where jeff and skinny live but there around on a pretty consitant basis, jeff more so then skinny cuz skinny is a track junkie, jeff hang with a little silver 5.0 notchback that has a 406 in it that car sounds meaner then anything and goes like it to so if you see a coupe with no hood pony rims no back seat and has a mystic painted trick flow intake watch out its way fast, we got the tickets down in rosemount after we left red rock, we never go donw there in the summer cuz its so stupid and all slow cars theres way better street racing around here, but this late in the season thats the only place with people

Schmuck....
He probably doesn't know what a '93 Cobra looks like! He probably sees all the LX's and GT's with Cobra snakes on them and figures it's a Cobra.

Race for cash... not free, as he's clueless....

The 93 cobra's that are red and 93 cobra R's are red are stated to be vibrant red-paint code ES.

2000 cobra R's are preformance red-paint code ES.

Fords 1/2 oz touch up paint bottles-paint code ES-is stated as performance red.

Same color, different names? Anyone answer this one, or how about a good old educated guess.

Paul.
