Convertible Weight
-
The Cobra has been available since 1994 as a coupe or convertible. For this car, Ford skipped a year -- there was no 2002 model, and the 2003 debuted early. Though additional weight isn't always welcome in performance vehicles, the Mustang's long history as a boulevard cruiser made the addition of the drop top to the lineup a logical choice. The weight gain is not as significant as in some drop tops; the SVT Mustang Cobra convertible weighs 3,780 lbs., 115 more than the SVT Cobra coupe.
Specifications

The Cobra convertible is powered by a 390-horsepower version of Ford's dual-overhead-cam, 4.6-liter V-8, so the additional pounds don't make much of a difference. This engine produces 390 pound-feet of torque, and a six-speed manual transmission was standard equipment.
