I highly doubt anyone on here has one. why pay like 30k for one when you can get a 03/04 for less and it has like twice the power............or with a few mods it can that is.

the 03 04 cobra was not meant to compete with the cobra r because if you did an all around test the 03 04 would be put to shame i mean seriously it would get its ass whooped. the 2000 cobra r is by far the best street legal car ford ever had roll out of the assembly lie. i would own one but im not a big fan of that body style

A guy in my local club has one. It is his garage/trailer queen - pampered more than my S-281, and I'm an anal SOB

see if ford did a cobra R in the 05+ body style i would buy one without a doubt but the 00 body style is my least favorite of all the mustangs. I still might purchase a '00 R but it would have to be a great deal.

To each his own I guess.
I would definitely take the GT over the Cobra R, any day :)

lightweight body + gobs and gobs of torque + mid engine = LOTS of oversteer and oversteer leads to steering into a tire wall. the '00 R is very balanced very torquey but still has a tendency to understeer (nothing an adjustable rear swaybar couldnt fix) If ford just made a 98 cobra r with the 5.4 dohc and an IRS i would buy one

well lets take a terminator and rip out the creature comforts and make up for the money difference with a pulley and tuner maybe a catback. probally go more im being generous. Cobra R owned. Yes it IS n/a but it doesnt matter, its whats faster at the end.

the 03 cobra is heavier isnt balanced at all and because of the blower (more so pullied) makes so much unuseable torque down low that you would have to increase the throttle gradually where as the cobra r is a high rpm motor and you can get on the gas harder and faster. this is what made the ford GT so hard to drive. im sure if i rented it for more than a day i could learn how to drive a ford GT better.
not to mention the cobra r has better brakes.

Any time you want to show me how my 03 Cobra motor is beaten in the 1/4 mile (by antthing n/a), or going around corners, bring it on!!!!!
Bring lots of cubic inches, a knarly suspension, and a DAMN good driver.
This thead cracks me up - ROTFLOL
