This Mustang from Ford's Special Vehicle Team has 25 more horsepower than the Mustang GT coupe's 215 horses, giving it 240 HP total.More heart was added to the stock 4.9-liter V-8 by improving the engine's breathing characteristics. That meant the addition of special cylinder heads, modified roller-rocker arms, stiffer valve springs, and a specially tuned upper intake manifold. It also has an oil cooler, a lightened flywheel, and an accessory drive system that reduces parasitic power loss. SVT recalibrated and upgraded the springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars. Cobras get Goodyear GS-C P255/45ZR all-weather tires mounted on big, 17-inch wheels that conceal the largest four-wheel disc brakes ever mounted to a production Mustang: 13.0-inch discs in front, 11.7-inch discs in back. These help this Cobra dive to a stop in a mere 171 feet from 70 mph.
