[QUOTE="black99lightnin, post: 13850606, member: 21296"] I'd have to disagree. In 1996 the cobra got a 32v 4 cam engine. It was the cheapest vehicle in production with that type of engine for it's time. In 99, and 01 the cobras got IRS, then again through 03-04. The engines from SVT for the cobras and GT500's are hand built, just like AMG Mercedes engines. The current GT500 has a carbon fiber driveshaft, I can't name any other factory vehicle to have that. The live axle 8.8 has lived on, as the core mustang group have gripped about the reliability of the IRS. Ford used to be a big sponsor of FFW. They know their target audience. Hopefully the new IRS will be beefier than that offered on the Cobra's as those were prone to breakage. [/QUOTE]
