the intake and valve covers on the cobra are aluminum and the gt is a black plastic with an aluminum elbow on the intake if its stock. svt cars also have round fog lights and the gt has oval. the brakes on the cobra say cobra on them too. the 96 gt's 8th vin # should be a 'W' for romeo gt.

Time out. You were in 4th about to hit 5th trying to get to 60? If you weren't getting on it then it wouldn't get going fast. The Cobra's should do 60 in second gear. You were in too high of a gear.
Like others have said, the 4V engine is very distinctive. The valve covers are HUGE compared to a 2V that you would find in a GT or even your truck. Look for "Cobra" on the front brake calipers. The wheels are different on the Cobras, as are the bumpers. I recommend going to google and searching for a Cobra engine. It's very easy to tell the difference between the 4 Valve Cobra motor and the 2 Valve GT motor. Let us know..
BTW What are they askin?

that could very well be a possability seeing as that is the first time I have driven a manual car, I have always driven a manual truck and I know that the gears are pretty different(for example in my truck I have always shifted into second and around 20MPH
anyways the story behind it is that my aunt does not want my cousin to have a sports car so they are thinking of just selling it to me for roughly a grand and there is even talk of just giving it to me since it was given to them

They probably don't know what they have, they are not to big on cars they are more of the Mercedes type( they love Mercedes, and as soon as something seems wrong with the car they sell it and then buy a new one, or just take it to the dealer and just say fix it)
