Performance: Acceleration is good and the power comes on smooth, it could use a little more, but I plan to remedy that with a set of gears, and full bolt-ons until boost can be afforded. Its braking is solid and feels much more planted than the straight axel mustangs. The irs may not be the best, but I consider it to be a vast improvement over the SRA. Build quality...well it's a ford mustang, and some hate the interior squeaks and the sporty ride, I however don't mind either as it is a mustang after all. It is supposed to be brute and a little rough on the edges. Appearance: the interior upgrade over the standard mustangs is nice, the cobra tailoring is very nice. The ext is pretty standard with the difference of the front bumper and rear bumper(being embossed with COBRA). The front bumper is one of my favorite ones to be put on a mustang. Fun factor: well it's a convertible, it's got a v8, it has a 5spd and a loud exhaust, what else could one really want. 5 out of 5 for fun to drive!

The performance is great. From the moment you turn the key and hear the growl of a great throttle note, you can tell this car has power. Acceleration is fantastic - even in 5th gear at 70 mph, plenty of extra horses to pass easily. shifts like silk - no need to fight this one. One warning - NEVER take off the traction control, unless you are on a track and want to light up the tires. Handling is great as well - sticks to corners and has the power to smoothly accelerate out of them. The same goes for hills. Makes this an extremely fun car to drive. Finally, the front bucket seats are amazing - very comfortable, even on long drives - great lateral support for sharp cornering. The back seat is nice, but front passengers will not be able to have seats fully moved back unless rear sea passengers are small or contortionists. The back legroom is about the only complaint here, but fone for relatively short distances. Overall a fantastic car.

Decent all around car. Very good handling, reasonable acceleration and braking. Build quality was probably average for 2001 but would be below average today. The styling was quite nice on the exterior, decent on the interior. Fuel economy was about average for the performance although today's vehicles would do much better. Had some expensive repairs like ABS/TC module which cost about $1400 to fix, rear half shaft seals leaked which was another expensive fix. Other than that the car was extremely reliable
