2000 Cobra R
 

So today i was talking with a few people in a Mustang Club thats located in my city. I'm not in this club, but i was curious to see how serious it was. Well one of the members has a 2000 Cobra R., as he was talking, I was trying to remember how many of these SVT actually made. I looked it up, and it said they made 300. What are the odds that this Cobra R this guy has is actually authentic? I mean, anyone can take a damn 99-04 and turn it into a Cobra R.

Take a look at the engine. Most people who make a cobra r clone only do the cosmetic stuff and dont actually put in the 5.4 4V with the cobra intake.

Yeah i would of, but it wasn't with him. He says he only drives it about 10 miles a month. I saw a couple pictures he had, and i had seen it on the club website. No engine pictures. At a car show i saw it also, but he was driving it so i didn't get to talk to him or anything.

Interior with Recaros, no back seat, no heater, no radio, 5.4 liter 4V engine, side exhaust, lots of stuff.

Yeah, most clones have all the creature comforts inside.

I'll definitely do a full blown investigation next time i see him. If its real i'll be one jealous bastard.

Funny thing, those cars are rare as hell and real eye catchers. People paid a shit for them. They were made for the track, but never raced. They are also not that fast.

My stupid GT with a blower would beat one up.

Haha, they are awesome though. They have a shit load of torque!

theres a guy here that does have a authentic one, he used to bring it to some car shows in the area!

he has the sucker in a controlled air garage, with heat sensors in there so when the air temp changes it will automatically adjust and turn on the heat or ac.

talk about a fanatic!

True, but that all motor power would be fun to have.

and you would get alot more power out of add-ons too...especially some CAMS! What do they put in place of the radio and a/c in the dash?...gauges?

Delete panels replace the a/c and radio controls, and sorry waterdr. you would stand no chance against one there lighter and make close to the same power.

They aren't lighter. I believe waterdr has a 2000 like me and they weigh a little under 3300lbs. Yes that is correct, 2000s weighed less then 01-04s. The cobra r weighs close to 3600lbs. The power might be close since I heard they were underrated.

How does only the 2000 year weigh less?

And i bet his vert 2v weights more then the R but thats just bench racing isnt it.

sorry for my wrong info. actually 04 was the only year that actually weighed more. My bad.
