German engineers stared slack-jawed as the jet-black 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible roared toward them at 5,000 rpm in second gear. We exchanged stares as I passed by; the engineers appreciating the Mustang’s symphonic exhaust note and uniquely American styling, while I took in a brief glimpse of the Audi A3 hatchback, Audi A4 Avant, and Volkswagen Passat that the Germans were flogging through high-altitude tests. Checking the rear view mirror while blasting away from their resting spot alongside the road, I watch the engineers note my departure with interest until I disappear around the next bend.The People and Their Philosophy The Cobra Convertible is the fine product of Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT). I recently met with key members of the SVT in Denver for a chance to discuss and drive their versions of the Mustang and Contour. The day began over lunch, where Special Vehicles Marketing Manager Tim Boyd explained SVT’s philosophy while munching wood-fired oven baked pizza. "SVT is to Ford what M-Division is to BMW," Boyd summarized. It wasn’t the only reference to BMW that afternoon. Boyd explained that SVT isn’t a performance tuner. His group is better balanced, emphasizing more than just straight-line performance. New technology is also a function of SVT, said Boyd, naming the Contour’s extrude honing process as an example. Extrude honing forces a gritty putty-like substance through the intake ports and runners of the engine to constantly polish them and improve airflow, thus boosting performance.SVT has sold nearly 50,000 vehicles since the 1993 F-150 Lightning pickup debuted. That the world’s second largest automaker is willing to devote time and money to such a low-volume niche, namely serious performance enthusiasts, is extraordinary in Boyd’s opinion. Production of the 1997 Cobra was limited to 7,000 coupes and 3,000 convertibles. Ford wanted to build 5,000 Contour SVTs for 1998, but according to PR dude John Clor, only 3,800 or so will make it down the production line. Exclusivity is important to SVT members and buyers. When 12,000 orders for the Cobra came in from dealers, SVT turned away 2,000 buyers and stuck to the 10,000-unit production ceiling. Why? Clor recounted what happened in 1976 when Cadillac was touting the Eldorado convertible as the last of a species, and planned a limited production run. Buyers lined up, cash in hand, and paid thousands over sticker for one of the last few American droptops. When demand exceeded supply, Cadillac built more, effectively thumbing its corporate nose at those who had already purchased one of the "limited edition" Eldos. "You just can’t do that to the customer," Clor emphasized.Boyd pointed out that the Cobra and Contour SVT are sources of pride for employees at all levels within Ford Motor Company. Car guy executives like the praise and visibility SVT garners and enjoys among fellow enthusiasts. Dealers who qualify to sell SVT products can crow about their ability to meet and exceed stringent SVT sales, service, and customer satisfaction requirements. And line workers take pride in knowing that they are assembling some of the greatest American cars for sale today.Basically, SVT exists to boost Ford’s image among auto enthusiasts. The theory goes a little something like this: Every neighborhood and family has a resident car expert. If the car expert knows about SVT, chances are very good a favorable impression will form regarding Ford products. Then, when neighbors, friends, and family arrive to receive the car expert’s divine wisdom regarding their next automotive purchase, there is a distinct possibility that the car expert will excitedly discuss SVT, which reflects well upon Ford, which will then sell more mainstream Mustangs, Contours, and maybe a Taurus or two. After all, SVT products aren’t for everybody.Mustang CobraOne trip down an on-ramp in a Pacific Green Cobra Coupe proved to me that not everybody needs, or even wants, this much power. The Mustang screamed to extra-legal speeds in seconds, without using the last two forward gears. Under the dual-scooped hood beats a 4.6-liter dual-overhead cam V8 engine that produces 305 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 300 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm. Obviously, this engine is happiest in the upper rev range, and that’s where it spent much of its time in my hands. The route included several tunnels bored through rock in the foothills above Denver, and the sensual exhaust note was so enticing that through each portal I put the windows down, shifted into neutral, and revved the DOHC V8 to enjoy mellifluous reverberations of power. SVT claims that the Cobra will accelerate from zero to 60 in a scant 5.9 seconds, will cover the quarter-mile in 13.99 seconds at 101.6 mph, and tops out at 152 mph.Not only is the Cobra faster and more delightful to listen to than a stock Mustang GT, but it rides and handles better. Engineers went for a more compliant ride with the Cobra, and their suspension tweaks have worked. The Cobra’s massive P245/45ZR-17 B.F. Goodrich Comp T/A tires stay planted on all but the most rippled pavement surfaces, and passengers are largely excluded from the severe jolts meted out by the lower-rung GT. This means that the Cobra serves as a great touring car as well as a hard-core performance machine. Power rack-and-pinion steering provides excellent feel, but the turning circle is rather wide for such a small vehicle. Huge 13-inch front vented iron disc brakes with twin-piston calipers combine with 11.65-inch rear vented discs and a three-channel Bosch ABS system to haul the Cobra down from any velocity quickly and safely. However, the Cobra employs a hydraulic actuator to operate the brake system rather than a vacuum-assisted setup like that on the GT, and we felt that brake feel was reduced somewhat, resulting in a slightly dead and mushy pedal.But it wasn’t enough of a problem to dampen the fun. I twisted and turned along Lookout Mountain Road west of Golden, going fast enough to test the Mustang’s moves but minding the fact that this is a popular spot for hikers, bikers, and the occasional dope-smoking teen driver. With a weight distribution front/rear of 57/43, the Cobra understeered slightly when I entered a hairpin turn too fast, and controllably oversteered a bit with the power on in second gear. Still, the Cobra can be a handful to hustle through the curves quickly. Seat bolstering is sadly lacking, so the driver slides around a bit on the soft leather through tight corners. Also, and this is a complaint I’ve had about the current Mustang’s interior all along, when my left leg is braced against the door panel for a hard-charging right hander, the plastic door pull gets jammed into my knee between the joint and the kneecap. Not pleasant, and the pain this situation produces immediately distracts from the task at hand, which is completing the turn. I also noticed a hint of rear axle hop over broken pavement in curves, which threatened to break the rear loose, but SVT member Dan Reid told me that the car would indeed settle quickly and take a set. He was right.After a run in the coupe, I took a spin in the convertible. This portion of the route took me past Echo Lake and over Squaw Pass to Bergen Park. I tested Reid’s theory on the nastier sections of road, and the Cobra definitely recovers from sharp bumps with aplomb. The convertible is also the better way to enjoy the Cobra. With the top down, the sonorous exhaust note is even more pleasing. Cowl shake was minimal in the car I drove, and the Cobra droptop felt solid and tight. Despite my increasingly silver-tinted hair, I think a good burnout is always a hoot. I dropped the clutch at 6,000 rpm and left satisfyingly black and smoky twin stripes on Colorado 103’s blacktop. Approaching Bergen Park, traffic went from non-existent to thick, so I turned on the Mach 460 sound system. At speed, the Mach 460 provides crisp clear sound. At stoplights, the driver must turn the volume down manually, unless, of course, the desired effect is to look like a complete ass. If any car needed speed-compensated volume control, it’s the Mustang convertible with the Mach 460 sound system.Ford SVT hopes buyers will find that the Mustang Cobra blends the power and muscular good looks of the traditional muscle car with the finesse and sophistication of the BMW M3. After my afternoon behind the wheel, it appears that they are very close to hitting the bulls-eye. At a starting cost of $25,860 including destination charge, it’s easy to forgive the Cobra’s few shortcomings.

German engineers stared slack-jawed as the jet-black 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra Convertible roared toward them at 5,000 rpm in second gear. We exchanged stares as I passed by; the engineers appreciating the Mustang’s symphonic exhaust note and uniquely American styling, while I took in a brief glimpse of the Audi A3 hatchback, Audi A4 Avant, and Volkswagen Passat that the Germans were flogging through high-altitude tests. Checking the rear view mirror while blasting away from their resting spot alongside the road, I watch the engineers note my departure with interest until I disappear around the next bend.
The People and Their Philosophy The Cobra Convertible is the fine product of Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT). I recently met with key members of the SVT in Denver for a chance to discuss and drive their versions of the Mustang and Contour. The day began over lunch, where Special Vehicles Marketing Manager Tim Boyd explained SVT’s philosophy while munching wood-fired oven baked pizza. "SVT is to Ford what M-Division is to BMW," Boyd summarized. It wasn’t the only reference to BMW that afternoon. Boyd explained that SVT isn’t a performance tuner. His group is better balanced, emphasizing more than just straight-line performance. New technology is also a function of SVT, said Boyd, naming the Contour’s extrude honing process as an example. Extrude honing forces a gritty putty-like substance through the intake ports and runners of the engine to constantly polish them and improve airflow, thus boosting performance.
SVT has sold nearly 50,000 vehicles since the 1993 F-150 Lightning pickup debuted. That the world’s second largest automaker is willing to devote time and money to such a low-volume niche, namely serious performance enthusiasts, is extraordinary in Boyd’s opinion. Production of the 1997 Cobra was limited to 7,000 coupes and 3,000 convertibles. Ford wanted to build 5,000 Contour SVTs for 1998, but according to PR dude John Clor, only 3,800 or so will make it down the production line. Exclusivity is important to SVT members and buyers. When 12,000 orders for the Cobra came in from dealers, SVT turned away 2,000 buyers and stuck to the 10,000-unit production ceiling. Why? Clor recounted what happened in 1976 when Cadillac was touting the Eldorado convertible as the last of a species, and planned a limited production run. Buyers lined up, cash in hand, and paid thousands over sticker for one of the last few American droptops. When demand exceeded supply, Cadillac built more, effectively thumbing its corporate nose at those who had already purchased one of the "limited edition" Eldos. "You just can’t do that to the customer," Clor emphasized.
Boyd pointed out that the Cobra and Contour SVT are sources of pride for employees at all levels within Ford Motor Company. Car guy executives like the praise and visibility SVT garners and enjoys among fellow enthusiasts. Dealers who qualify to sell SVT products can crow about their ability to meet and exceed stringent SVT sales, service, and customer satisfaction requirements. And line workers take pride in knowing that they are assembling some of the greatest American cars for sale today.
Basically, SVT exists to boost Ford’s image among auto enthusiasts. The theory goes a little something like this: Every neighborhood and family has a resident car expert. If the car expert knows about SVT, chances are very good a favorable impression will form regarding Ford products. Then, when neighbors, friends, and family arrive to receive the car expert’s divine wisdom regarding their next automotive purchase, there is a distinct possibility that the car expert will excitedly discuss SVT, which reflects well upon Ford, which will then sell more mainstream Mustangs, Contours, and maybe a Taurus or two. After all, SVT products aren’t for everybody.
Mustang Cobra
One trip down an on-ramp in a Pacific Green Cobra Coupe proved to me that not everybody needs, or even wants, this much power. The Mustang screamed to extra-legal speeds in seconds, without using the last two forward gears. Under the dual-scooped hood beats a 4.6-liter dual-overhead cam V8 engine that produces 305 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 300 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm. Obviously, this engine is happiest in the upper rev range, and that’s where it spent much of its time in my hands. The route included several tunnels bored through rock in the foothills above Denver, and the sensual exhaust note was so enticing that through each portal I put the windows down, shifted into neutral, and revved the DOHC V8 to enjoy mellifluous reverberations of power. SVT claims that the Cobra will accelerate from zero to 60 in a scant 5.9 seconds, will cover the quarter-mile in 13.99 seconds at 101.6 mph, and tops out at 152 mph.
Not only is the Cobra faster and more delightful to listen to than a stock Mustang GT, but it rides and handles better. Engineers went for a more compliant ride with the Cobra, and their suspension tweaks have worked. The Cobra’s massive P245/45ZR-17 B.F. Goodrich Comp T/A tires stay planted on all but the most rippled pavement surfaces, and passengers are largely excluded from the severe jolts meted out by the lower-rung GT. This means that the Cobra serves as a great touring car as well as a hard-core performance machine. Power rack-and-pinion steering provides excellent feel, but the turning circle is rather wide for such a small vehicle. Huge 13-inch front vented iron disc brakes with twin-piston calipers combine with 11.65-inch rear vented discs and a three-channel Bosch ABS system to haul the Cobra down from any velocity quickly and safely. However, the Cobra employs a hydraulic actuator to operate the brake system rather than a vacuum-assisted setup like that on the GT, and we felt that brake feel was reduced somewhat, resulting in a slightly dead and mushy pedal.
But it wasn’t enough of a problem to dampen the fun. I twisted and turned along Lookout Mountain Road west of Golden, going fast enough to test the Mustang’s moves but minding the fact that this is a popular spot for hikers, bikers, and the occasional dope-smoking teen driver. With a weight distribution front/rear of 57/43, the Cobra understeered slightly when I entered a hairpin turn too fast, and controllably oversteered a bit with the power on in second gear. Still, the Cobra can be a handful to hustle through the curves quickly. Seat bolstering is sadly lacking, so the driver slides around a bit on the soft leather through tight corners. Also, and this is a complaint I’ve had about the current Mustang’s interior all along, when my left leg is braced against the door panel for a hard-charging right hander, the plastic door pull gets jammed into my knee between the joint and the kneecap. Not pleasant, and the pain this situation produces immediately distracts from the task at hand, which is completing the turn. I also noticed a hint of rear axle hop over broken pavement in curves, which threatened to break the rear loose, but SVT member Dan Reid told me that the car would indeed settle quickly and take a set. He was right.
After a run in the coupe, I took a spin in the convertible. This portion of the route took me past Echo Lake and over Squaw Pass to Bergen Park. I tested Reid’s theory on the nastier sections of road, and the Cobra definitely recovers from sharp bumps with aplomb. The convertible is also the better way to enjoy the Cobra. With the top down, the sonorous exhaust note is even more pleasing. Cowl shake was minimal in the car I drove, and the Cobra droptop felt solid and tight. Despite my increasingly silver-tinted hair, I think a good burnout is always a hoot. I dropped the clutch at 6,000 rpm and left satisfyingly black and smoky twin stripes on Colorado 103’s blacktop. Approaching Bergen Park, traffic went from non-existent to thick, so I turned on the Mach 460 sound system. At speed, the Mach 460 provides crisp clear sound. At stoplights, the driver must turn the volume down manually, unless, of course, the desired effect is to look like a complete ass. If any car needed speed-compensated volume control, it’s the Mustang convertible with the Mach 460 sound system.
Ford SVT hopes buyers will find that the Mustang Cobra blends the power and muscular good looks of the traditional muscle car with the finesse and sophistication of the BMW M3. After my afternoon behind the wheel, it appears that they are very close to hitting the bulls-eye. At a starting cost of $25,860 including destination charge, it’s easy to forgive the Cobra’s few shortcomings. What a car.
