The 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra represents a unique pedigree among classic American muscle cars. The SN95 Generation vehicle generates significantly more power than its GT counterpart, being outfitted with a 4.6L DOHC V8 engine that delivers 305 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. Offered solely with a 5-speed manual transmission, the car channels power through a rear-wheel drivetrain, bolstering its sporty credentials. On the inside, the SVT Cobra boasts an array of comfort features, such as power-adjustable sport leather seats, a powerful stereo system, and air conditioning. Notable changes for the 1996 model year include the addition of Ford's new modular 4.6L DOHC V8 engine, replacing the old 5.0L V8, making it a key offering in the Mustang's lineup.
