1996 SVT Cobra
http://site.zedds.com/Ed/mustangred2.htm
This is not a Cobra with a kit. This is a real Cobra SVT that was sent to Kenny Brown Performance for the chassis and suspension work. It was also sent to Sean Hyland Motorsport for the engine. I have the original window sticker and SVT certificate, engine build sheets from Kenny Brown Performance, dyno sheets from Sean Hyland Motorsport. In addition to all original documents, I have a folder with over $60,000.00 in receipts that was invested in this car.
If you are a Cobra SVT collector, a fan of Sean Hyland and Kenny Brown or just want a beautiful Mustang that is churning out over 500 horsepower, read on.
Kenny Brown Performance is currently recognized as one of the leaders in Cobra performance. Kenny has been involved in racing for 30 years. His facility is located in Gasoline Alley at Indy. Originally acknowledged for his success with the Saleen Mustang, he has now become the most well known manufacturer and installer of upgrades in the Ford and Mustang Performance aftermarket.
Sean Hyland Motorsport# located in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, is now viewed as the number one builder of the 4.6 engine. Not only is Sean a racer himself, but he has built engines for every form of motorsports. It is the combination of the expertise of both these racing icons that produced this car. Drivetrain by Sean Highland Motorsport. Chassis and suspension setup by Kenny Brown Performance. I don't know about you, but if I wanted the ultimate Cobra SVT, I couldn't think of a more professional way to do it.
I should add that this car has actually had two upgrades. Originally modified to C-4 standards, it was determined that the chassis would not properly handle the 500+ rear wheel HP, so Kenny Brown Performance remodified the car to C-5 specs.
