Mustang Terminology 101

Ok few questions:

-all GT's are V8's?
-all Cobra's are V8's?

-old school bodies are called foxes, next gen is SN95, the next i dont know, and then S197's. So what are the 99-04 body styles called?

94-04 are all sn95, most commonly 94-98 are referred to as sn95 though, and 99-04 as new edge sn95's. and yes to the first 2.

95 and 00 was the cobra R as well as 92 or 93 i believe

and to put in short, the only LX with a V-8 was the foxes but yes all GTs are V-8s
