[QUOTE="greenscobie86, post: 792617, member: 11036"] I've heard things about the 96/97/98 Cobras being different. The 96 Cobras had the strut tower brace and the 98's didn't(an effort to cut costs by FoMoCo apparently) The 96 Cobras had a eggcrate grille insert, all 96 mustangs did i believe. The IMRC plates were aluminum on the 96 Cobra but were composite/plastic on the 97/98's. The carpeting was thinner on the 98 models as well as the rear seats being vinyl instead of real leather on the 96 snakes(i think this one might be BS though.) Also the brake vents in the rear scoops were deleted for the 96+ model years. I definitely think Ford was doing some cost cutting/modifications though... [/QUOTE]
