94-95 Cobras

FivepointOH · 01-31-2001, 02:55 PM

I need all the info you guys have on the 94-95 cobras. I'm thinking about selling my car and taking out a loan and buying one. How much hp do they have stock(I'm thinking 240 but I could be wrong). How much do they weigh?(I know it's a pig compared to my 92 but how much) Where the 94-95's available with the mach 460 soundsystem? What do they generally run 1/4 stock?(I'm thinking low 14's?) What's the difference between a stock gt and a stock 94-95 cobra? I'm sure i'll come up with a few more but that's it for now.

I don't own me a Cobra, but I've got the GT and I've read a lot of posts on this. (If you search you'll find more info)

95 Cobra was rated at 240 HP,
The Mach 460 was available (if not standard ?)
Came with different front, round running lights, and the "V6" rear bumper.

The 5.0L engine had the GT40 Heads, Cobra upper and lower, a 65 mm TB (I believe?), and bigger front discs.

That is all I can remeber right now. As far as 1/4 mile times, I'd only be guessing.

A great car with a lot of potential. I know I'd can my GT for a Cobra of the same year

What is the difference in the brakes between the 2? Also are the 94-95 brakes better than fox body gts?

95mustanggt · 01-31-2001, 06:54 PM

I believe that the front disc is bigger, but I'm not really positive on this one, sorry.

I would guess that the brakes are better on all SN95 GT's that on the Fox GT's, but once again that is just a guess.

Unit 5302 · 01-31-2001, 08:30 PM

The 1994-1995 Mustang Cobra's.

240hp 285lb/ft Weight 3354 lbs. Your '92 has an auto, it probably weighs in between 3100-3150 lbs.

GT-40 Iron heads
Cobra Intake
Cobra Cam (not real great)
Cobra Roller Rockers
24lb Injectors
Cobra Computer (god awful)

The Cobra's do not have many options. Most everything comes standard on them, they are not availible with an auto tranny. Tranny is a Z spec T-5 I believe, except the R which got a tremec.

Here is a link to the nada website to price one out.
http://www2.nadaguides.com/GlobalFra...=1008&Letter=F

Just select the year you want to search at the top.

As you may guess the Cobra's respond very well to modification. The first thing you should do is junk that shitty computer. I think you should be able to get a Pro-M MAF for a GT, have it calibrated for 24lb injectors and slap a GT computer in there. That'll really wake it up. Put some better exhaust on it, cold air induction, some 3.73's and it should be in the mid-low 13's with traction. Stock you should be able to pull mid low 14's.

FivepointOH · 01-31-2001, 09:03 PM

Thanks a bunch guys, I'm really intrested now... does anyone know if they have all around disc brakes or are they rear drum like the foxes.

I have a 94 Cobra and the differences between the GT and the Cobra are:

17"Cobra rims(whoopie)
Cobra intake upper/lower
Cobra cam(whoopie)
13"front rotors and 2 piston calipers(great freaking brakes)
Astectical Cobra features(like steering wheel)
Sucky Computer, pulls timing out during shift(do not replace with stock GT of same year, replace with FOX body computer)
70mm MAF, 65mm T/B
Mach 460 not standard equipment
Rear spoiler different from GT and V6
HP rating 245@5500rpm
TQ rating302@6500rpm(the two rpm ranges could be reversed, not sure)
3.08 gear
Stock 1/4mile time of 14.8-15-2(depending on driver)
I was of the opinion that they weighed in at over 3500lbs, but I may or may not be wrong.

Hope this helps you, and welcome to the Cobra family!!

Are you sure about those numbers bigwhitecobra?

The numbers given by 97snakedriver for those years was 240hp@4800rpm and 285lb/ft@4000rpm.

I'm pretty sure the 5.0 Cobra redlines before 6500rpm, which means that number is unlikely to be the peak output rpm for either hp or torque. Also, if the rating of 302lb/ft was true it would be required by physics to come in below 4260rpm, otherwise the max rating of 245hp would be exceeded. HP = (TQ x RPM)/5250. If you put 302lb/ft of torque in at 5500rpm you'd come out with 316hp, and if you used that number at 6500, which would have to be reversed by your quotes (once you pass 5250rpm torque has to be less than hp) you'd have 374hp.

As taken from Motor Trend 6-93 road test review the 1993 Cobra, which utilized almost exactly the same motor as the 94-95 cars was rated 235hp@5000 and 285lb/ft@4000.

The NADA link I provided also gives vehicle curb weights. The 1994 Cobra is listed as N/A, but the 1995 Cobra is identical and at 3354 lbs. Even the new Cobra's don't weigh in at 3500 lbs, not the coupe's anyway. The DOHC Cobra's punch the scales at a little over 3400 lbs.

I'm not picking on any one, I just try and make sure info is as accurate as possible when people ask for advice. I'm wrong sometimes, but sometimes numbers just don't add up.

I would also have trouble believing that a Cobra could pull a 14.8 to 15.2 1/4 mile time. That sounds pretty high.

The brakes on the 94+ Cobra are good. 13 inch rotors and twin piston calipers on the front, and 11.65" vented rotors and single piston calipers in the back.

They aren't painted that pretty, and they comes with plain rotors instead of cross drilled or slotted, but those are the calipers used on the front of the Cobra.

90dpscoupe · 02-02-2001, 12:52 AM

I read something a while back about the 94 or 95, forgot wich one had a decklid emblem or something?? and one didnt.

Anyway 14.8-15.0 would be numbers on a gt not a cobra, i raced a sn95 cobra that looked and sounded stock and he ran 13.99@ 102, he may of had grs though.

I too want one of these, but kinda hard to part with my fox that turns 14.1 with no major mods

Unit 5302 · 02-02-2001, 03:44 AM

Off the showroom floor I'd be shocked if a 5.0 SN95 Cobra pulled a 13.99 off. That would take some unreal driving IMHO. I'd say low to mid 14's would be more accurate.

Even with 240hp, they still ate a little too much Ben and Jerry's "Chunky Monkey," and they tip the scales around 300 lbs heavier than a comparable Fox.

bigwhitecobra · 02-02-2001, 08:51 AM

Like I have mentioned before, I won't swear to it, but that's what I remember reading. I know it doesn't redline at 6500, but mine pulls well after the redline.(maybe I have one on steriods??) Oh, and Unit..noogie!! Don't ask. I know the hp rating is right at 245, the torque is close at 302, but I won't swear to it. Maybe that's the new GT's??? Anyway, I hope I didn't go far from the truth. Later.
