Cobras only have two options...wheel finish and rear spoiler. LSDs are standard. As for their suspensions, yeah, the GTs are a little sloppy (which is why I've done so much to mine) but the Cobras pull pretty good on a skidpad with decent tires. They're no Porsche 911, but they'll kick the crap out of the more commonly tuned imports in stock form. Plus, I'm not a big fan of the massive understeer you get with most FWD cars. But that's just me. Trust me...Mustangs are more than capable of putting power to the pavement. If you browse the shifting gears forum you'll see last weekend I bolted on a pair of slicks for the first time and pulled the front end up far enough that it screwed my header and H-pipe when it came back down.

There is one possibility we've overlooked here...that the car wasn't a real Cobra. A lot of people will make the conversions and I don't suspect a ton of import drivers would know the difference. Hell...it's hard for someone who is in the know to tell sometimes without getting close. Coulda been a V6 for all any of us know...even a mildly modded V8 should've been able to put a hurt on an Accord.
