Default 05 Cobra *with pics 56k*

Im new here, but I really don't know where this thread belongs.

Buy anyways, I went to my car dealer today (Auffenburg Ford)
and I saw this blacked out mustang, black taillights
And I asked one of the dealer there if this is a real cobra.
He said yes, there was also a cobra symbol on the side.

I really didn't see under the hood, but he said it was supercharged.
Im planning to go back there tomorrow to take a good look at it more.
And take pictures.

But did Ford really made a 05 cobra at all?
Oh and the car was going for $26k

EDIT/

Here are the pictures:

I'm afraid there was no cobra in 05, and if I were you I wouldn't go back there, either the guy is trying to screw you or he just really doesn't know his stuff.

$26k is too high for an S197(2005+ mustang) and there was no 05 cobra. there was an 04 cobra.

Maybe it was an '05 GT that someone stuck a Cobra driveline into. Check the engine of course, AND check the rear end it should be IRS

Yeah.... that looks like a stock GT with a blackout panel and cobra side badges. Tell the guy to go the hell and get your buddy some bigger pants

Yea people who "know Mustangs" are probably gonna laugh & comment about your bogus Cobra I don't understans WHY anyone would stick badges like that on a standard GT UNLESS they did stick a Cobra engine in it too. In that case the car would be quite impressive
