7 QUIRKS OF THE SN95 MUSTANG

[@ReynoldsRides]

I was one year off on the cupholder redesign. As I mentioned, the New Edge update/refresh occurred in ‘99 but the cupholder redesign actually occurred in ‘98.😬

[@mikehunt8247]

I was actually about to comment that but I read this as I started typing lol. I have a 98 gt same color as your cobra and it has the black on black interior with the new edge cup holders which are essentially useless if you have a 5 speed cause 2 and 4th shifts are impeded by your drink

[@cesarromero5979]

I was bout to comment too I thought the last owner did some 😓

[@CentralFloridaHipHop]

I have the 2 new edge cup holders in my 1997. The original owner must have put them in I suppose

[@richiesspeedshop82]

I was going to say. My 98 GT had them

[@tywarren4704]

The later years of the New Edge have a further improved cup holder design. I have a center console from a Terminator swapped into mine.

[@paulashton2441]

400,000, OUTSTANDING

[@4.6slidez]

Yeah shit

[@loughlin74]

Call it a quirk if you want, I LIKE my hood’s prop rod. I had two Firebirds with heavy hoods, and piston supports that wore out. A prop rod may be old-fashioned and somewhat awkward, but it will never wear out.

[@jordanfox7070]

Yeah, 09 Challenger’s hood was HEAVY and I wouldn’t trust working underneath it if it had no prop rod and relied on only piston supports.

[@geraldscott4302]

I agree. My transportation car is a 2006 Crown Vic, with lift supports. Wanna know how it feels to get hit in the head with a 200 pound hood? I now carry a piece of pipe in the trunk to hold the hood open.

[@dakota5041]

Prop rods save on concussions 🤕😅 had many shocks fail randomly when I put too much faith in them.... Rams are terrible for false hopes

[@omary5439]

I actually added prop supports to my s&95 but I saw no reason to remove the prop rod so I actually have both. I can use the struts all the time but if they start to wear out I can just use the prop rod instead since I keep it as a backup

[@UmmYeahOk]

Agreed. The trunk uses lift supports and I’ve hurt myself so many times! They only last a decade, so I had to replace them in 2004, and then again in 2014. 2024 is approaching, and Im wondering if I should just give in and buy them first of the year, rather than wait for another head injury.

The rear seats is for insurance. Makes it cheaper than a 2 seater like a Vette

[@slowbra94]

My 94 cobra does have function side scoops although they do nothing. They just push air against the tire instead of the breaks. And the hood scoops also did go through to the engine bay on my stock hood although the hole it pushed air through is only about the side of a quarter

[@georgeharleydavidsonrider156]

Just turned 29- thousand miles on my 1996 Mustang SVT Cobra Convertible. Mine is black with the saddle leather interior. Driver seat has hairline cracks in the leather but overall it still smells like a new car inside. The carpeting in the car still looks brand new along with the headlights. I think your car still looks great and you’ve done a good job on the interior and the paint. Took it out yesterday for a long ride in the country and the car still has the original hoses spark plug wires. I paid 12-K for the car and I was offered 18-K for the car. I’m gonna keep it drive it and enjoy it along with my 2010 Camaro RS -SS .

[@lozahe]

The side scoops on my 95 are “functional”. They’re open but don’t necessarily go to anything like the brakes. The cup holder on the 95 doesn’t have that bottom support so you can place longer cans or cups (skinny lol). My 95 only has 2 o2 sensors. Cool video 👍🏼

[@ReynoldsRides]

Interesting. My ‘95 Cobra cup holder had the bottom support.

[@lozahe]

Very lol

[@midnight347]

I think something may be wrong w your cupholder. I had a 94 gt, 95 gt and 97 cobra they were all just like the one in this video.

[@ChewyChicken589]

My favorite quirk is that the trunk button is in the glove box, at least it is on the 1998

[@UmmYeahOk]

I honestly am glad the hood doesn’t have lift supports. I had a 1988 BMW 325i convertible before getting my mustang, and it used lift supports for everything. The hood, the trunk, the convertible boot, which needed to stay open for you to manually put up/down the top. Those supports only last a decade, so they were pretty much shot by the time I got the car. My 94 mustang however, I have hurt myself so many times from when the trunk lid would fall on my head. Every decade I have to replace them. 2004, 2014, and now I’m worried about next year when I’ll have to do it yet again! Thank goodness it’s just the trunk!

[@richiesspeedshop82]

That fuel cutoff switch is a really good safety feature. I got rear ended one time and when I went to start the car it wouldn't turn over. One of the cops came over and told me to pop the trunk and check to see if the cutoff switch activated. It did. I hit the button amd the car was able to turn over . I thought that was pretty neat.

[@kwekumensah5642]

Great straight forward video

[@houseofno]

The '94 to 98 cars are my favorite SN95 Mustang, esp the '96 to '98 cars. Ford botched the design of the '99 to '03 Mustangs IMHO. Regarding the tiny rear seats, that's a compromise to make the car affordable to insure. Many insurance companies (then as well as now) charge astronomical amounts for two seater specialty cars, regardless of size. Most finance companies require carrying full coverage in case of an accident to protect their investment (the car) in case it gets totaled in a wreck. If you need a larger rear seat, get a Fox T-bird/Cougar ('83 to '88) or the later '89 to '97 T-bird/Cougar (bigger car but also larger rear seat), or better yet, a Panther body (Crown VIc/Mercury Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car). The Cobra R model Mustangs all had a rear seat delete.

[@elliotprokop2525]

They have rear seats to place them in a different insurance category from what ive read. No back seats would have resulted in higher insurance. I dont know if this is true or not.

[@AndrewLoukidis-jr2bp]

If you prefer the earlier C4 exterior and interior, the '89 is supposedly the best of those. If you like the later model looks and interior best, a '96 C4 is going to be your best bet.

[@mikehunt8247]

Another quirk I found with mine is certain rims will rub on the fender well like s197 gt rims and they ride like tanks in their latter years I know mine does. Another is with after market exhausts like magnaflow Etc sometimes you get the typical rattle of the pipes tapping the body and its enough to drive you insane

I owed a 94 and 97 Cobra and didn't care for the cup holder location either. Use the opening space between the emergency brake and the passenger seat as your beer holder. You can easily fit two beers there and have the factory cup holder available for a third beer if need be.

My 03 GT is getting a suspension revamp right now, everything. We put hood struts on all of them (07, 03, 16 & 20). We went with the Borla Ataks and it is a sound I love, especially when he gets warmed up. The seat belts not retracting is a pain. I find the steering wheel is angled wrong too. I added a clutch extender pedal because I felt like I had to sit too close to the wheel to shift. The seats aren't very good, you slide a bit on sharp curves. We were able to find original black leather seats that a guy had replaced with racing ones, in excellent condition! I love Rasputin more than my 2020 GT, something about it being more mechanical and old school...idk

If you do, I wouldn't brag about it or post it on KZbin. You might have missed it, but the EPA has been on a tear lately going after people disabling their emissions equipment illegally, What's really dumb is breaking federal law then boasting about it on a KZbin. That's pretty "bright" - breaking federal law and boasting about it in front of millions on KZbin. Be sure to let us know the truth about prison food too, and don't forget to show us your prison mugshot and that six figure EPA fine (that's right) you're in the hole for.

[@houseofno]

All 96 and later cars were required to have OBD-II diagnostics and pollution controls installed. This was a federal emissions law requirement. OBD-II is a double edged sword. On one hand, it makes engines easier to diagnose using widely available engine code readers. On the downside, OBD II ECMs compare pre-cat emissions with what's going on AFTER the cats. A discrepancy will trigger a CEL (Check Engine Light).

[@geraldscott4302]

I have a 2003 Mustang. I'm 6' 240, and I fit in the back seat. Not a place I'd want to spend a lot of time, but they are legal, functional seats. If you routinely use back seats, then I'd suggest getting a Crown Vic. I have one of those too. My Mustang does not have fog lights, and the cup holders actually work fairly well, though the front one works much better than the rear one. It's not as deep and larger in diameter. I prefer prop rods for the hood. Lift supports fail fairly quickly, and you either have to keep replacing them, or carry something to use for a prop rod. They did get carried away with the cat cons. Even with a dual exhaust they only needed two. But. By using 6, they did improve exhaust flow a little bit, which also added a couple of hp. And since there are so many power crazed nut cases out there who care about nothing else, that's what Ford did.

@@midnight347 I’ve thought about that too, but it wasn’t until 1999 that the cobra r setup was developed, and it was a lot of one off parts. In 2003 we got the terminator. Going off what was available at the times, 1996-98 GT with the 285hp intech, Cobra with the 305hp. Ford was working on supercharged power with the Super Stallion sn95. Maybe an introduction of the supercharged cobra with the new edge in 1999, as the SVT lightning had the 5.4 2v SC in 1999. And the Mach one could’ve been the spin off of a 4v 5.4 with production versions of the cobra R parts with maybe around 350-360hp to sit between the GT and terminator Cobra.
