It grows on ya. The more I look at it the more I like it.
|
VERY nice!! The paint scheme works well too. :boink:
|
ahh i cant look away...its beautiful...like normally flames are not cool but damn this car pulls it off...and the engine bay :boink: so sexy
|
that car is bad a**!!
|
Cobra R replica except for the center exhaust??
I wander what kinds of number's he puts down in the 1/4 and on the dyno. |
That thing is just... Sick! WoW! There are not many stangs that can pull off flames and 19/20's! I think that is the first one i've ever seen that can pull that off and still look perfect!:worship2: :worship2: :worship2: :worship2: |
Very nice. Damn, you could eat off that engine bay.
|
that car is ****in sick
|
Looks nice but 94-98 never had a cobra R with those parts only the 2000 model year .
|
that engine looks so cool... like a concept car...
I think it would be perfect with a different paintjob.. maybe continueing where the engine left off with black, silver and red... =D |

It was 95' and only had a cowl type hood. The wing was the same as the rest of the stangs that year. It did have a 351 in it.

I have 2 friends that own real 2000 Cobra R's. They're quite exciting to drive. maddeningly fast and well handling right out of the box. One got his for 31K used with almost no miles and a handful of very well done mods, the other got his new and paid 75K at 19% interest.

the R is a collector, and IMO shouldnt be driven except to shows, or meets. I work at a chevy dealer (yes i know...), and we sold a z06 in lemans blue yesterday ... and if you havent seen or heard one in person, it is well worth it. the z06 is like the 2nd fastest car around nurburing or whatever its called in germany.
i think the 00 R wing looks good on the 94-98s, as long as you have the 00 R front bumper as well |
sickest SN I have seen, looks badass!

The z06 is NOT a race car. It's a street car. A purpose built street car. It's meant to be commuted in and taken to the track on weekends by grey-haired old men whose nuts have shriveled to the point that nothing less than a waaaaaaaaaay overpriced chebbie will get em' hard again. Yes, it is a fine handling and pretty fast car but it's not even on the same planet as a cobra R. I'd suggest we stop comparing apples to oranges. The Cobra R' series is a real factory race car series. Sure they're street "legal" but I think that was more of a way for Ford to assure fast sales of the limited numbers of R's than a true intent on them being street cars. The corvette is an antique design trying to compete with european sports coupes of far purer breeding on their own tracks and it does a fair job but it's not a great one. Z06 option is only a way to nearly double the cost of an unreliable street beast. Feel free to disagree. |

I have to call that ludicrous. I've driven both of those R's and they're not collectors... they're purpose built race cars that are designed to be run and run hard. If you let them sit in a garage and only see the light of day for some lame bling-show or idiot meet then you are a sinner and you'll burn in hellfire. R's out of the box were just shy of being streetable by the average guy. The suspension was set up so taught that it was genuinely uncomfortable to drive on anything but a race track and they're exhaust is beyond loud and beats you up bad after while.

Pretty goddamned convincing. :boink: |
I don't want anyone to take my comment as an attack or put-down of them personally but having driven all of the cars in question... I think my opinions are justified.
Now we've had some chebbie bashing... let's have some mopar bashing for desert. Or better yet... let's find a way to put the verbal smack down on the fancy euro-trash that seems to be the yardstick by which all sports cars are measured. My last opinion on the matter is: Mustang is an american icon. It embodies the spirit of power, independance and individual freedom and is available in a price range to fit even modest budgets. Corvette is an american icon as well, true enough. It's also a more exclusive car stuck for its entire production history at the upper end of the price spectrum that you could expect to see in american built cars. For all that it is, the corvette will never be the any-man's penis extension. The mustang on the other hand has held that title for 41 1/2 years (minus the almost-a-stang 74-78's... :shiver: ) |
