It would have to be dang close for me to call it that

 

most people done want to spend the money on the side skirts or the seats or the...t56 and m112 4v. clones are gay anyways, just do your own thing IMO

 

I would say look at termi_gt or WickedSnake's cars.

Yeah but I hear that termi_gt **** has an automatic, and WickedSnake doesn't have a spoiler, and has SN-95 sail panels.

:shiftyeyes

Also-
Cobra clone: Same except for VIN. Pretty much the same inside and out. :naughty:
Fobra: GT with Cobra body parts; you look at it, then lift the hood and get really disappointed.
GTermi: GT with Cobra drivetrain (opposite of Fobra)

 

It would have to be identical except for the VIN number. Configured exactly how a cobra would have come from the factory. That's what clone means.

 

Hood, front/rear bumper, rocker panels, mirrors, spoiler, side scoops, badging

All suspension, IRS, control arms, brakes, 4v swap, fuel tank, wheels, IRS exhaust

Full interior, including all seats, gauges, leather boots and Ebrake handle, steering wheel and airbag, all in an OEM cobra color

Unless you're doing an 01 cobra, then there are a few less things to change. It would probably cost more than just buying a cobra to begin with

I would disagree.

 

I'm doing a fobra swap:
-01 front
-03/04 side skirts,side scoops,side skirts,rear spoiler, rear bumper, mirrors.





Notice I called it a 'fobra'

 

I'd say if it had an IRS with all body work identical and a 4v with a twin screw or roots attached to a t56 to be good enough IMO.

A clone has it all. Full body,motor, interior, suspension, etc. hate when people call theirs a cobra when they have a "03/04 front with no bezels,fogs or chin spoiler.

 

A cobra clone, imo, is anything with a cobra badge that isn't a cobra. I hate it when i see GT's and even some v6's with a cobra fender or grill badge... But if i see a GT with a cobra body with the GT badges then it's ok in my book.

 

what abut the fact that cobra owners throw out their IRS on the daily for solid axles. all the other stuff besides the IRS can be called a "clone"

 

Agreed

Whenever I see someone selling a "Cobra clone" on CL or where ever, I always act interested and say "Hey, Cobra clone still for sale?" Yes.

Then I say, "Does it have the 4.6 S/C DOHC?" No... "What about the T-56?" No... "IRS...?" No... "Well does it at least have the Interior?" Nope...

Then why did you call it a clone? :bash:

 

People try to make them sounds more desirable so they call it a "cobra clone". Some people will like that other wont.

 

WTF is a Cobra clone? :shiftyeyes

 

For me it's an exact mirror of an 03-04 Cobra minus the documentation. What I mean is interior, exterior, motor everything is OE on a 03-04.

 

Clone needs to have everything but the VIN.
Fauxbra would have most of the visual parts and a performance at least equal to Cobra it has parts from.
Having just some parts is a "GT/V6 with Cobra X, Y, and Z"
Having just badges is ricer bullst.

 

I would say look at termi_gt or WickedSnake's cars.

For a Termi clone, I would say: All body parts (shaved rear bumper), motor and trans, interior and gauges, brakes, IRS optional (since tons of Cobra guys go SRA anyways).

Basically, the only way I want to be able to know it isn't a Cobra is by looking at the VIN #.

 

Somebody say clone?

I even have the damn Cobra clunk.

 

That's hilarious! You really should have skipped that part of the build, I friggin hate " the Cobra clunk". It took me forever to just accept it as normal.

 

Generally what I see on Craigslist and is completed swapped body to a conra look alike and leave the gt motor.

Maybe to some extent. But I don't ever see a completed swapped body. Just the body we are talking.

I only see, Front Bumper (more often without the bezels, foglights & chin spoiler) Rear Bumper (Maybe), Deck Lid w/ Spoiler(Rarely)

Never do I see them having the "03-04" Side Skirts, Hood, "03-04" Cobra wheels or Side Door Mirrors.

 

What's a conra?

 

Cobra my bad. Didn't realize everybody was so grammatically correct..

 

surprisingly, that's what I see haha. I figured they'd cheap out like your talking about but they don't other than the motor haah

 

I hear that wickedsnake guy had a v6 mustang and put a in a termi motor :shiftyeyes

 

Am I the only one who has no idea what cobra clunk is? lol

 

I love having an IRS that doesn't clunk. :naughty:

 

I can live with it. For some reason it likes to whine too.

 

I would consider being a cobra clone as the most important part of the cobra. Instead of a 2v, 5 speed and SRA, it would be to convert to 4v, T-56 and IRS. Aside from that, it is all pretty much cosmetics. So, if it only has the cosmetics without the fundamentals per say, it is just a riced out mustang.



Also for Ham Sandwich...I love your SIG!

 

Just call it a Cobra Tribute and be done with it....
