Most states list the description of GT's as GT/Cobra on the title.This has beat to death on every Mustang forum on the net for as long as there have been Mustang forums on the net.

Argh..
this again.. lol

the ones from Canada labeled cobras (such as my 89) ARE cobras because they were called cobras from the factory and have the name right on the registration.. I know they are not any different from the GTs in the states.. but they came called cobras from the factory.. therefore they rightfully can be called by that name.

The Canadian Cobras are a lot different than the SVT Cobras. The SVT Cobras started in '93.

Canadian cobra's are nothing more than a GT with a badge.... nothing special, and still SLOW!

in 93 the also made the first svt cobra.... not just hte svt cobra R

any cobra b4 93 is a true cobra.... it may be a canadian gt or a fake.... either way ITS NOT A COBRA... if it were gt wouldnt be in the name.... if it says GT /Cob like u say there is a very good chance its candain in orign... so no its not a cobra its a gt....

SVT cobras were made in 93, 94-98, 99-01, 03-04
93 also had a cobra R made as well as 95 and 00
03-04 cobras are also known as terminators they come stock with a twin screws style blower

If its a cobra when u get the vin number the title should read SVT cobra... not GT/ Cobra or nehting like that...
