THE COBRA–1993 COBRA

SINCE I FIRST SAW MY FIRST 93 COBRA ALMOST 30 YEARS HAS PASSED, BUT IT STILL HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART.

To me as a young kid in 1993 when SVT released the final send off of the Foxbody Mustang in the form of the COBRA it was total perfection. Since I first saw my first 93 Cobra almost 30 years has passed, but it still holds a special place in my heart.

This is my third 93 Cobra and this example is #1608 out of 4393 1993 Cobras made (not counting the R model) and 1 of 448 produced that have a black exterior and black cloth interior and making the car even less common is the lack of a factory sunroof. The exterior of this Cobra has been kept stock in appearance except for being lowered 1 inch, thanks to H&R springs. The interior of the vehicle remains mostly stock except for the addition of a Hurst short throw shifter and a boost gauge mounted on the drivers A pillar. The performance mods done to the engine are as follows: a polished Kenne bell 2.1 Flowzilla has been added along with a ported GT40 lower that has been ported by TMoss. The injectors were replaced with 42 lb. and the in tank pump was changed out to ensure the engine had an adequate flow of fuel. The throttle body is a 90 mm polished Accufab unit and has a 4 inch polished Anderson power pipe with a Pro M mass air flow. The Ford Motorsport B cam sends out its beautiful harmony through a set of shorty headers that pass through an off road H pipe before exiting through a set of stainless Pypes Violator mufflers with 2.5 inch polished exhaust tips. The engine produces a little over 400hp at the rear wheels (so frame connectors were added). The Kenne Bell makes its power almost from idle and paired with 3:55 gears the car is incredibly fun to drive.
