99 cobra

[Tim Lester]

This is from Ford's SVT site

A new body design for 1999, complete with sharper angles, recalls the styling of the original Mustang. The '99 SVT Mustang Cobra performance features include a 15hp increase and independent rear suspension (IRS), tumble port heads for better air flow, and a coil-on-plug ignition system. Safety improvements included 13" Brembo™ brakes, anti-lock brakes and standard all speed traction control. Leather becomes standard for í99 with two color options (Medium Parchment and Dark Charcoal). A new exterior color option, Electric Green Clearcoat Metallic, rounded out the í99 package.
