Re: there was something wrong in those Cobras which Ford fixed/replaced parts for the next year's model. Actually, when the 99's came up short, they cancelled the 2000 model year (the group that builds Cobras isn't very big) and spent the year fixing the 99's (they built about 4,500 coupes and 4,500 convertibles in 1999). The Cobra recently became available again as a late 2001 model, no 2000's were produced. The biggest difference between a Cobra and other Mustangs isn't the engine, it's the fully independent rear suspension. The invoice to Ford on mine for the "horsepower work" recall came to a little under $2,000. They replaced the intake manifold, the entire exhaust system and reprogrammed the engine control computer. It made a noticeable difference, more in low RPM torque than top end horsepower. The engine runs smoothly at lower RPM now, too. The convertible has pretty bad cowl shake (stiff suspension on a not-stiff body) but it's a blast to drive on a nice night - I came home from the airport tonight with the top down and it's definitely worth a little cowl shake.
