I don't think that was a Cobra R, it's just a Cobra.

Now, this is a Cobra R. MMMMM, Cobra R. This is one of my most favorite cars, ever.

 

looks like a mustang with a ricey wing,,

 

+1, LOVE the Cobra R!


Maybe it's because I own a Mustang but whatever.

 

o my bad

 

that's one tiny exhaust in the red cobra R...

back on topic, nice vid

 

yea i agree cobra R = sex. and they are rare as hell. didn't they only make like 400 or something like that i think i'm way off.

 

^^^ I don't know how many they made, but I found one for sale about 30 miles from my house. This was 2 years ago. It was a 2003 Red Cobra R with 16, yes, only 16 original miles on it. It was awsome. They wanted $69,000 for it. It is one of my dream cars, but I would rather spend that amount of money elsewhere.

 

1993
The SVT Cobra R debuted as a late 1993 model (107 built, all red) which had a track-oriented package including larger brakes, altered spring rates and shocks and a larger rear sway bar, and the same 235 hp and 280 lb-ft. 5.0L engine as the standard Cobra. Air conditioning, sound deadening, the stereo system and rear seats were not included to minimize weight.

1995
Based on the success of the 1993 model, SVT developed a more powerful Cobra R for 1995 (250 built, all white). It included a modified 5.8L Windsor V8 producing 300 hp and 285 lb-ft., a 20 gallon fuel tank, and a Tremec 5-speed. Weight-savings included no back seat, radio, air-conditioning, or fog lights, which were omitted to provide ducts for the front brakes. Heavy-duty progressive-rate springs, thicker stabilizer bars and a front strut tower brace improved handling on the track.

2000
In 2000, a special Cobra R (300 built, all red) was released with a 5.4L DOHC engine that produced 385 hp and 385 lb-ft. of torque. It included an even stiffer track-oriented suspension, side-exit exhaust, and had no radio, no air conditioning, no back seat, and this time, no heater. It included a taller "power dome" hood, a tall rear deck spoiler, and a front air splitter to keep air from going under the car to reduce lift. The wheels were special five spoke 18x9 alloys.

 

YEEAAA, that's what I'm taking about!!!

BTW, that 385 horse and torque is under rated. That car is still wooping the supercharged Cobra's on the 1/4 mile and of course, in every other area. Oh yea, and it's naturally aspirated!!

 

Good video. Is that a stock 3rd gen or is it the one with the garret single turbo with 422 horse. I wonder what Directfreak would do to that, crazy.

 

would that be me? im not the one in that vid

 

thats just a regular Cobra. still, a good race for the FD being on stock twins.

 

there used to be a 2000 cobra "R" in town a few years back.
they used to drive it around town with the sticker on the passenger window..
if my car was a that rare, I probably would too.

NICE VID!!!

 

Awesome!
