Miles Overview
The SVT Cobra was Ford's top-dog Mustang for 1997, a coupe-only special focused on sharper handling and a more engaging drive. With independent rear suspension, it corners flatter and feels more planted than the solid-axle GT, making it a genuine driver's car. The cabin is pure late-90s Ford, but the Cobra gets supportive leather seats and a few unique touches that set it apart from lesser Mustangs. Choosing the SVT Cobra over the GT gets you a hand-built 4.6L V8, independent rear suspension, and sharper steering calibration from Ford's Special Vehicle Team. Its 4.6L V8 makes 260 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque from the factory, paired exclusively with the five-speed manual, and returns an EPA-rated 19 mpg combined.
