Why was this car hated on so much through the 90's and 00's? 

As a 96 cobra owner. My love for the sn95 came back in the 90s when they first came out. And have had a love for them ever since

I'm a big fan of the '96 Mystic Cobra. When they're sitting low on nice wheels they're gorgeous.

All I can say is that it could have been worse. We could have been stuck with the Probe for a Mustang. Then the Cobra would have been based on a Mazda platform. They would have been loved as much as the Mustang II. But instead of the car that saved Mustang it would have probably killed it. The SN95 sounds a little better now,doesn't it?

I always thought the 96-98 cobras looked awesome when lowered on the stock wheels. Add 4:10s and a centrifugal blower, and they were a pretty sweet ride.

So happy to see some sn95 love, I currently own a 1997 Cobra and man I just can't understand the ate for them, I think they are absolutely sharp as a tack and a damn blast to drive. Love the content been following and watching for quite some time. Appreciate all the awesome videos on the cars we love so much !💪

I have a 98 cobra with 60K miles. It's all original except I put 2003 cobra rims on it. I paid $2,000 for it 3 years ago. Mine has the 4.6L with 5spd.

Tail lights were changed to vertical design in 96 while 94-95 were horizontal

The sn95 gets alot of hate for sure, mostly cause of the tired 2v version. Cool part about these cars is most people don't expect them to be fast.

I can not tell you how happy I am to see you guys work on the SN95 I myself own 2 SN95 one 1994 cobra convert to Saleen clone and a 1997 GT convertible. Thanks for showing some love for the SN95 hope to see it back in the future. Continue with your amazing work 👍🏼👌🏼🙏🏼

I used to have a 98 cobra, it was a torqueless wonder down low but I loved that car…It’s my favorite body style to this day…This one here has the 96-98 hood with the 94-95 spoiler, that’s the best of both worlds, the side scoops have to come off though…

I’ve got a 95 with a 347 perfect seats love it

I always loved the 96-98 Cobras. Those cars were brand new when I was in High School, and a chrome yellow ‘98 cobra very was my “dream car” at the time. I later bought a 2003 GT new and loved that car. I love my Foxbody, but I really wouldn’t mind parking a clean SN95 cobra next to it.

Thanks for showing some love for the pushrod SN95. I love my 1995. Curves are my thing. Love to massage my T5!

I love my 95…. They are such fun cars I don’t see why they get so much hate

Had 94,95 and still have the teal 93. Love the pushrod N95. Great cars that are now coming into popularity, especially with Yote swaps. God bless Fellas, hope all is well💪🏼🇺🇸

I guess a lot has to do when you were growing up on the model run you like. I got out of cars right when the foxs came in, and reentered the Mustang world 2 years ago. I just remember being blown away when the 94 SN95s came out, they were sleek and sporty looking, not the boxy "fairmont" look of the foxs. I do watch the fox channels as you guys do the cool engine stuff, that is hard to find on the SN95s sites, especially for the 94-95 pushrod models. So it goes back and forth on model favorites, in the end they are all Mustangs!

That's my favorite generation, I had a sn95 with a 347 Dart block AFR 225 heads and a Paxton centrifugal and a TKO600 putting down 798 to the wheels with ease. Also had AC. Very light on the timing and low boost on E and I drove it almost every day. I miss that car so much.

I had a 97. It was a fun car, but became especially fun with gears. I went with 4.10s but many owners went with more. It had a few other bolt ons which dropped about a second from the quarter mile. I love these Cobras. The GTs look really meh to me.

Owned Fox bodies before SN's and feel the SN's have much more personality than Fox bodies. Always felt you needed to wash an SN95 to truly appreciate the design. Plus, Fox bodies had hardly any Mustang styling heritage. Bringing back classic Mustang styling queues was a big part of the SN95 design mission.

This is probably the best body style untill the 2015. it's beautiful.

I had a 96’ convertible cobra when it first came out, it was one of the quickest cars on the street at the time, I beat alot of cars that people thought was faster

I got a 95 GT that makes 600 wheel 🤷‍♂️. Love mine and it’s one of a kind

I have an Sn95 from 94 with the 5.0. Still love the car even though its slow. Would like to either 4v swapp or barra swap. Not yet though still going 💪

94/95 had horizontal taillights is the quickest way to tell.

I was a teenager when the foxes were out and always loved them. Still do. I've had a 98 gt and have an 03 gt now. I love the sn95/new edge. Personally I think the worst ones were 74-78. Never liked them, still don't. Personal preference I guess. Good vid, thanks buddy...

My 94 cobra is by no means the fastest car out there. But off the line I keep up with most modern cars until the top of 3rd gear. My motor is just full bolt ons but it does have a pretty well set up suspension. And a well setup drive train (save for the t5 which is about to explode) a metric fuck ton of weight reduction. At this point it drives and handles like a full blown race car just making borderline stock horsepower. Its running a very low 12 right now on street tires with stock h/c/i. This year im getting a new trans and a cage. Next year is heads and cam. Then finally a procharger. The goal is to run mid 9s and considering it was over a 14 from the factory im well on my way for not a whole lot of money. Everyone that asks me what car to get into for a project I recommend an sn95 and if they've got the extra money I recommend a sn95 cobra.

please do more 94 95 stuff!!

Hope everyone has a blessed week. I own a 94 5.0 302 love these years in my opinion.

I have a 94 cobra and I love it

Do a video on the tunability of the 94/95 GT & cobra

1994-1998 is my favorite Late Model body style. I like the fact that it came with a pushrod engine for the 94-95 models. Expect to spend a lot to make it fast. You’ve got to love it to build it.

Funny I just ran into a dude at the car wash who had a 96 cobra. I’m actually starting to like the car a little. Again that’s a like!

It's ridiculous how much a 1994 Cobra is worth, vs a 1993 Cobra ,and essentially they are the same drivetrain!!!

A guy that used to frequent the same speed shop as me back in the early 2000s had a 96 mystic cobra. It was full bolt on, some weight reduction, 4.56 gears, big and little weld pro stars and slicks and it would run 12.40s all day.

I own a 96 gt mod motor and i love that car. I met my wife in it and ive had absolutely no problems whatsoever since i bought it. Its a full bolt on car with gears. Just pulled the engine and trans which is still in great shape with a pro 5.0 shifter still attached. Looking to sell that combo and im gonna fully build the car to get back into my number 1 passion of drag racing. Will still be considered a street car but with all the good street car parts.

Nice to see some SN love! We got that same freak snowstorm down here in Huntsville and it sucked!

I’ve never been able to get into a sn95. My sister had one and I drove it a few times but it never excited me. Besides the 65 and 69 sport roof, the new edge and 13-14 have been the ones I’ve liked. And the 86 gt ttop I sold.

I had a 98gt. I loved it. Good times.

The 93-95 Cobra/Lightning 1.7 roller rockers by Crane were not gold, they were/are silver. That one you pointed out just had oil tarnish on it. The 93 Cobra's also had the stamped steel valve covers but did not have the COBRA stamped in them. The 94-95's were a double layered design for noise.

This is why I Love my 95 Thunderbird LX. It's so forgotten about but still bad ass car. Factory IRS it corners really good. But I haven't decided witch way engine wise I'm going with it but it does need more power.

The good thing about owning an SN95 is no one will ever mistake your car for an Escort or Cavalier 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Was the owner of a '96 SVT Cobra (#4431) and love the styling and enough power to get into serious trouble with, and responded great to simple mods. Ill own another again eventually..

I've owned 5-6 Fox and used to think the 5.0 with exhaust was the best sounding car ever. Then I got a 96 Cobra and it changed my mind. Those cars sound like a cross between a 5.0 and a Formula 1 car, and the high redline is a lot of fun.

I am biased but I love SN95's. I think they are the answer. You can do anything with them; autoX, road race, drag race. I like the body style better than the new edge. As for the 2v, they don't make the most power stock but they will run forever. I have a built 2v making 330hp at the tires and I wouldn't have a problem driving it on a track all day.

Simply put it was because ford for the most part let the sn95 get stomped by the f bodies. Up until then the foxes were holding their own most already being modified weren't being embarrassed on a weekly basis. With limited availability from the aftermarket right off the get go it was hard for the sn95 to keep up. The cobra could have been fine if ford hadn't retarded the timing by way of the computer it easily would come down to the driver. The cobra motor should have been in the gt, the r motor in the cobra and a 427 stroker in the r. That takes care of the 94/95 and then it got worse with the 4.6 gt... regardless of how fast they weren't if done right they are very sexy cars!

Had mine from new. 1996 Cobra conv. 3:73 gears, mass air flow sensor upgrade, throttle body swap, chip, roll bar and subframe connectors, Cobra R wheels, pro short shifter. Lowered with adj shocks. Camber plates. 275s all around. Just turned 50K miles. Looks new. Loved from the beginning. Hagerty is saying they are finally being sought after. Good condition getting $12-15K, excellent $20-22K. Never sell it. Black with saddle interior. One of 2500. Turns heads and people love it at shows. Runs like new. Original brakes. Zero issues. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

I honestly don't remember these being hated to that extent. The 4V wasn't a bag engine. The NPI 2V on the other hand was lack luster at best.

I had the 98 Cobra, nobody hated it! Everywhere i went people loved it!! 😍 I bought it brand new zero miles.

These cars are underrated. Good handling good brakes and not flimsy like the foxbody. I'm a foxbody guy through and through though. On my friend's 94 cobra I ported the heads and intake and added a Steeda 19 cam with springs and it came alive. He already had shorties H pipe and flowmasters. No tuning needed. he later added a 150 shot of Nitrous and drag radials, it was night and day from stock. Hard to beat these cars for the money spent.

SN95 Mustangs - in particular the Cobras - are so much fun they probably ought to be illegal. I owned one for years and loved it. I only parted with it when it came time to buy my 2013 Mustang GT, and even then, I still miss the 96-98 Cobras. Were they the fastest cars? No, but they can be boosted with great results - Pro-Charger anyone? - and a well-tricked out Cobra still turns heads and with a decent exhaust on it, will sound fabulous. I once had an owner of a very expensive Corvette, tell me my 4.6L modular motor sounded better than his car, even though his cost four times what mine was worth. Let the haters hate; those of us who like SN95s are gonna keep on keepin' on...

I picked up a 96 Gt a couple of years ago and It has been very fun modding it and cruising it. Going to address the lack of power this month with some stage 3 cnc ported pi heads and cams. Just wanted to keep it all motor for awhile and cruise it. These are getting tough to find in good condition as they just didn't have a lot of love. Good foundation though for a project whichever way you want to take it.

I loved my SN cars. I used to have a gorgeous 10/10 Canary yellow 95 GT with a cobra swap in it. Heads cam intake exhaust etc. car absolutely ripped, sounded awesome really ran like hell. Sold it and got back into the Fox game but I’ll always miss that car.

I've owned 2 SN-95 cars. I had a 1994 Mustang GT in Laser Tinted Red and a 1996 Cobra in Crystal White, #334 of 7,496. Also had a 1989 Mustang GT in Oxford White w/ Titanium Lower, 1990 Mustang GT in solid Vermilion Red and a 1999 Mustang GT in Rio Red.

This body style is one of my all-time favorites something about a sn95 cobra with a cowl hood and saleen spoiler on lowering springs just hits diffrent.

They don't get much love but my 98 Cobra vert was awesome and you can fit big wheels and tires unlike the Fox.

Look forward to seeing what you do with car. I have a 95 Cobra I bought new; pretty much all stock, just sitting in the garage. I love that car, but it is so slow compared to cars nowadays lol!

i always wanted one of those especially when i owned my 94 Gen1 Lightning, i wanted a black 94 cobra to match. the big let down were the 96+ mod motors, the pushrod cars were easy to modify and make power, the mod motors had to revved to the moon and still didnt make torque. the SN95 was the only modern day mustang to get the 351W👍. the 94-95s have the ugly tail lights too, the 96-98s tail lights are better looking. The round fog lights on the Cobras are sweet too.

I honestly didn't know there was a lot of hate for them. I was a senior in high school (99-00) and got a 95 cobra and fell in love with it. Fast forward 22 years later and I now have a 98 cobra convertible as a nice day toy. I could see the "hate" for the 96-98 gt 4.6's though, but not cobras.

Yes, finally some love for the sn95s

I currently have a 74 and a 95 so I guess I have the most hated Mustangs. Back in the early 2000’s I had two 89 notchbacks, I would love to have another but holy crap are they outrageously priced. Can’t wait to see what you do with this one.

Great video brother. Love the channel

I had (my dad now owns it) a 95 5.0. It was a good car, but not a lot of power. Chassis was sorted, the car feels more solid. Has better brakes from the factory. Coulda been great if the 5.0s had Explorer power.

As long as you don't clump together in medium to large crowds at cars and coffee the cobras will be fine

That’s bad ass I just picked up a 94 cobra love it

This body style is AWESOME, my 2ND favorite body style for mustang! #1 body style 60-70 Boss This body style will be a collectors car very soon, worth a lot of money!

Nice video dude👍👍 Having myself a stripped down 95 gt, toi should do more sn95 video like this one

My 98 was far from the most powerful car I've ever owned but probably one of my favorites.

My wife loves her 94’ gt convertible. Restored the whole car and it’s a great little thing

It didn't get a whole lot of love because it was offset by all the love I gave it! Still got mine!

98 cobras were my favorite. Had a buddy that had one with Paxton supercharger on it.

I’ve always been partial to Chevys my whole life but used to restore 60s mustangs with my uncle. But I remember when I was a kid hearing the cobra sn95 and fell in love with that one of a kind exhaust note. I now own a 94 cobra for $1500 and I wasn’t going to pass that up even though she could use a full rebuild but she still runs and drives and makes me buy her a different new part right as I put another on. One day I’ll have her stronger and cleaner than ever.

Might not be the fastest but I love me a pushrod Sn95 Cobra.

My first preformance car was a 97 triple black cobra! Wish it was a hard top but still miss that car!

Unloved until now! People think they are worth 20 to 30k! Absolutely crazy But the Mystic Cobra is a Gem 💎

If that's not a cam in that car tell me what exhaust it is cause I want it. Sounds great

Yeah I agree on the reasons why the SN95 are more hated, you hit all the points, but i like them when they were taken care of, most of the ones you see hear have been thoroughly abused and beat to $hit. It great to see some nice ones.

I have had a 95 cobra since 2005 and still love it today the kenne bell supercharger is a real kick for that car

I love my Sn95. Gonna do a coyote swap 👀.

It has the 96-98 Cobra Hood. 94-95 Cobra had the standard GT/V6 Hood.

The Lincoln mk viii came out the prior year with the DOHC 4.6 and every publication had been putting out rumors of the new mustang getting an over 300hp powerplant for the design change. The Mach iii show car was making rounds with a supercharged DOHC 4.6 (ten years before the terminator). Chevy was putting it down with the LT1 and six speed. The viper was still fresh and zR1 Corvette was doing battle. Then along comes this... The first major redesign in 15 years with much anticipation and none of the tech/power showed up to the party. This is why they were disappointing.

I had a 1998 Cobra with LTs, offroad H pipe and 2 chamber flows. I loved that sound more than anything I have owned since until my 19 GT350R.

being a sn95 owner since 1998 happy to see some SN95 love

I really like the 94-98 cars. In the age of the coyote swap, I’d much rather have one of these than the new edge. If it I could pick another project I’d make the ultimate sleeper out of one of these.

Love the Shamu in the background! I was in the SVT forums from ‘08-‘15. Love seeing them on there. Had ‘02 SVT Lightning, I miss that thing

Can you do the same type of video for the 99/01 cobras? Sweet vid.

They are making the SVO style side exhaust again for these cars. Ignore the missing piece off of that car and add side exhaust to it. SVO style side exhaust on those cars make them look amazing. I wish I could do it on my 04 Cobra, but there are subframe connectors in the way.

Best sound around I love them years

Lover or hate the SN95’s! I have always been a big fan, and I loved my 97Cobra🤘🏻. Also, that Cobra absolutely has a baby cam in it💪🏻

I have a 95 cobra. After owning a 2013 mustang with a v6 procharged, I cant go back to any foxbody. It may sound crazy but I feel I don't fit well in the car even at 6Ft 200 lbs. The foxbody is a classic but the car has some miserable old technology(chassis, brakes, interior). I just sold a 93 coupe clean AF because It reminded me of a 80"s sedan, was gonna build and stopped before I went any further. I picked up the cobra cause I feel alot more comfortable in it and it is still a 5.0 with a kennebell and 347 lol. But my point is I have had over 10 foxbodys in my life and I'll never go back. Also these crazy prices for them is insane they are not worth it at all. You can buy a 2013/14 5.0 mustang and it'll be 5 times the car than the fox. Just my opinion.

I don’t think it was hated! I owned an SN95 for 17 years, took it to many shows, there were lots of other SN95s there, & I never had any snotty comments.

These were the Mustangs rolling around when I was growing up, so they’ll always be my personal favorite generation even though the First gen’s, Fox’s and S197s have them beat in a variety of categories

My first Mustang GT, I beat that heck out of that car, I loved it I still have a soft spot for them

1994 and 1995 had the the horizontal slots in the tail lights . 96 and up had the verticle slotted lights . That's another way to tell the year difference .

Have a 94 gt full bolt ons Love the 94-95 just with I could find a set of horizontals for a decent price to put back in it

The Cobra was not “hated” except by the people who did not own them.

17 years ago I set out to buy my first mustang. It was supposed to be a sn95 loved the looks of those even to this day but ended up finding a 89 GT which I love. I did the 4to8 swap cuz GT was rusty and found a coupe. Maybe someday I'll pick me up a 94 95 maybe maybe.

sn95s were pretty popular when I was in high-school(94-98). A badass slammed black 97 Cobra won our car show 3 years in a row.

I love that they're STILL hated on. I get parts for dirt cheap, and have a lightning fast car for a bargain. Love the Foxbody crowd, they put up lots of cheap go-fast parts that I can use.

Are you kidding I love these cars sn95 and New Edge look so good the ones I don't like and just my opinion is 2005-2009 I think they look hideous LOL everything after that great also if you think about it these cars sold great a lot more units than the Camaro and Firebird Trans-Am combined 1998 was a strong year in sales for the sn95 for some reason

I remember in 97 it was nearly impossible to find used LX 5-spd foxbody's for sale.
