1998 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Convertible Review
ProsThe Cobra's engine has a nice growl to it. You know there's something important under the hood the instant you turn on the ignition. The engine comes to life and wakes the car (and a few of the neighbors) up. Shift into first with the short throw gear shifter and the Cobra literally takes off. I'm sure I could lift the front tires off the road while the rears are chirping away. ConsFourth and fifth are almost afterthoughts. Sure, I did get to fifth during my morning commute (traffic gets up to 70 mph sometimes, even though it is often close), but the engine is idling at under 2,000 rpm at that speed.

For Mustang Lovers — The Cobra is powered by a 305 horsepower version of the 4.6-liter V-8with 32 valves and other goodies. By the time you reach second gear, you're already exceeding the speed limit in most sane communities. Third gear is an excellent one for cruising around. The revs aren't that high and you can travel at the speed limit and still have enough in reserve for great acceleration. Fourth and fifth are almost afterthoughts. Sure, I did get to fifth during my morning commute (traffic gets up to 70 mph sometimes, even though it is often close), but the engine is idling at under 2,000 rpm at that speed. Fifth is a great gear for tooling along on an Interstate or major highway where you know you aren't going to need the great acceleration power of the engine too much.

Bottom Line Is $15,000 — This 1998 Mustang SVT Cobra Conv has it all. Great performance excellent acceleration, superior braking, firm handling without sacrificing a nice ride. Drop the top, the fresh air and the sweet sound of the Magna Flow exhaust is outstanding. The interior and exterior is superior. This is five star performance and appearance at the right price for what you get. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Super Snake — My favorite car that I've owned yet. Unbelievable power...not quite a great people carrier and not gonna go anywhere in the snow, but for the money you spend you cannot find a better car. 96-98 Cobras can be had from 8k on up to 12- 20k depending on what's done, procharger kit for another 5k and for about 15k once it's all said and done you have something that will destroy modern vettes. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

1998 Svt Cobra — Very fast car stock. brakings great. all around good sports car. always room for more power with this engine. The car takes quite a bit of punishment from me and still drive like new. It only takes high test gas. It wont run well on regular.

ProsI like the fact that this car handles very good. It goes where I put it! ConsThe only thing that I dont like about this car is that the bottom of the car was never really painted underneath.

Nice Ride For The Money! — I have owned this car for almost 10yrs. I beat the snot out of it every time I get a chance. The car has never failed me other than having to change the clutch out. I am only pushing about 375hp with the mods it has. This car is lowered and it handles sweet. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

I Love The Color, And As I Said, It Looks, Runs, And Handles Like Its A Brand New Svt Cobra — My 98 Cobra looks, runs, and handles like I just drove it out of the dealership in 1998, with that, it has no squeaks and rattles for it's age. It's been garage kept since day 1 and has 67,000 miles on it. I am the second owner and payed $7,800 for this Cobra. It is my 14th Mustang and it is my favorite one out of all 14, included in those 14 was a 40th anniversary Mach 1, and a 96 Black cobra, and many foxbody 5.0's, some GT's some LX's. I also owned a restored 1966 coupe. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

My Review — Pretty neat story how I got the car. I bought it from my old High School English teacher. I found it on Craigslist and didn't even know it was him till I went to pick it up. Bought it bone stock. Ended up spinning a rod bearing at 94k miles so I swapped the engine for an 03 supercharged motor. Right now it sits at 463hp/455 lb ft tq. It was a fun project. Gas mileage sucks but when you drive it you don't care. Great, good looking car with a little surprise under the hood. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Perfect — performance of this car is ridiculous all around as many of my friends can vouch for but its not only the power it comes with its the potential it holds. Exterior styling is awsome in my opinion and the interior is really to relax and just enjoy the ride. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
