please help me im so confused
 
ok hopefully theres others like me out there. i recently bought a 93 ford mustang. i ran the vin number on the car and it came back that it is a mustang cobra, however i looked under the hood and the intake manifold is just a regular 5.0. so i guess im asking if there is some really obvious way to know if i have a cobra or gt

i think the only obvious differences are the intake , cam and heads.the heads would have 3 bars on them where the accesories would bolt up. look for that.

Alot of gt's out of canada were called "cobra's" if im not mistaken, but they were not the gt-40. cobra intake, 24lb injector car's we all know, someone correct me if im wrong.

The cobras had 4 wheel disc brakes.

Should be pretty obvious.

If you look under the rear of the car and determine if you have irs or a standard 8.8" rearend. Cobras came if irs (independent rear suspension) if I am not mistaken. This is so they could compete with the Corvette in IMSA/Trans-AM racing back in the 80's and 90's.

Yep, you are mistaken.
The 93 cobra had an 8.8, matter of fact all cobras did until 1999, they went with irs.

I think, I'm trying to remember for sure. The 93 was the first year and the difference was only the rocker arms on the engine, roller rockers and a larger wing on the deck. Oh, almost forgot, more $$$ too.

The 1993 Cobra drivetrain featured

24lb/hr injectors
65mm T/B
Cobra Intake
Cobra Cam
GT-40 Iron heads
Cobra computer
70mm MAF
Roller rockers
Cobra pulleys
Cobra spec T-5

It also used the following Cobra parts amongst other items

4 wheel disc brakes
Cobra valance
Cobra grill
Cobra wing
Cobra 17" wheels
Cobra suspension

The 1993 Cobra's had a slew of enhancements to them. They weren't simply some rebadged GT with special exhaust or something.

Yep this thread was very mis-informing to say the least.

Catch code on the computer would be X3Z for Cobra.
A9L, A9P, etc for the 5.0 HO.
