2001 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra Test Drive
You always knew what Mustangs were all about: reasonably quick , despite being slower and less sure footed then Camaros, still outsold the Chevy pony car by a margin of four to one. How could this have been? Some say the Mustang looked better, or that the Camaro’s bulked up body turned off potential buyers.
Even though Ford clearly killed Chevy at the showrooms, the Dearborn automaker made a variety of refinements to its 2001 SVT Mustang Cobra that it hoped would finally produce a Mustang that equaled a Camaro’s quickness and agility. The Cobra’s crude solid rear axle was replaced with an independent rear suspension in 1999, and the engine’s output was boosted by 15 horses to 320 – the same as the killer Camaro Z28 SS.
