Ford Mustang II Cobra 1976

Well, since there's a thread about the normal Mustang II, I think I should suggest the higher-tier model myself. Although, I have to be honest, it's not really anywhere close to being my favorite Mustang, there's just things about these that don't make it as desirable to me as any other Mustang gen. Anyway, I'm suggesting it since I think every gen of the Mustang should be in GT and while it's not my favorite, I sort of like the looks of the Cobra II.

Specs:
Drivetrain - Front Engine, RWD
Engine - 5.0L V8
Power - 134 hp @3,600 rpm
Torque - 250 lb-ft @1,600 rpm

Wow - 134bhp really is very, very feeble from a 5 litre engine - this was a sad period when American cars were required to have full anti-smog equipment, but the manufacturers hadn't yet made any progress with new technology to enable their engines to generate decent power while still meeting stricter emissions laws.
