Rear Bumber says COBRA, Side Badges, front grill badge, different hood, internal cobra badges, DOHC engine (305 engine HP vs 260 in the GT) and some other little things I can't seem to remember.

Ummm... a 97 does not have 260 hp..more like 215hp. And that not even to the rear wheels. The cobras in 97 didn't even have 305hp much less. The seat headrests are different, the cobra's have a heavy duty clutch, upgraded sixe brakes both front and rear, the cobras have Independent rear suspebsion, leather shift ****, diff rear gears, usually 3:27's, and the other stuff this guy said.

Yeah PI mustangs run really close to old gen cobras. My car back in the day when i only had exhaust, x, and high flow filter out ran (barely) a 98 cobra with lowering springs and a short throw shifter.

Actually, the 97 Cobra DOES have about 305 HP at the crank. Attached is the baseline dyno sheet of a completely unmodified 97 Cobra... notice the HP is 260 at the wheels? Back calculate using about 15% drive train loss, and it is pretty close.

The stock GT for that year puts about 215 to the wheels.

Just to correct you, the Model year in question did not come with IRS, it came with a solid rear end and 3.55s rear gears
