Test Driving 2000 Cobra R Mustang 5.4 DOHC V8 Six Speed

[@IAW_OPSEC]

I don't know why everyone hates this spoiler, it's def unique. I like it; adds character to the car

[@ReDIRKulous41.21.1]

+Marvy Marv I know right

[@unseenufo]

i fucking love it. just like the superbird.

[@greghorn7650]

It not only looks good, it really works. Ford worked on the COBRA R in the Wind Tunnel and the spoiler was changed several times in order to get the max downforce and least drag.

[@twistedtaipan3862]

I love it. It's the defining feature that lets people know that it's a Cobra R and not just a fancy looking regular Mustang.

[@glennskilton2740]

Im more upset about the fake heat extractor hood

[@ThaSwitcherTayTay]

I remember playing Need For Speed - Hot Pursuit 2 for the PS2, and it had one of these in that game. Always dreamed of one of these since then!

[@kirk0respite]

me too! i loved that game it was my first racing game for ps2 and this car was my favorite especially the police version remember how badass it looked as a cop car!

[@sungjin008]

***** hot pursuit 2 PC > PS2 PS2 version: no 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 lap 5 cop car wrong Balance (viper PC: C class PS2: B class)fake intro no Diablo cop

[@runningback3918]

sungjin008 Dude I had both PS2 and PC versions of the game, the PS2 version is easily the best. PC, Xbox, and Gamecube don't compare to the PS2 version of that game. And the Viper should be in B class, if anything the Corvette should be in C class.

[@achievebig5315]

I first played the car in Gran Turismo 3... need for speed I played the Corvette and the Diablo 6.0

[@komentatorius69]

YES!

Nice to see someone actuality driving it instead of treating it like it's a baby like it's going to break when in reality it was built to be driven like this

[@ToastablePie]

hopeless_spotter - You could probably get a 2000 Mustang GT and get all the aftermarket like this, it'd probably even cheaper but yeah it wouldn't be a 5.4L just a tuned 4.6L.

[@BigBadMarketer]

Yeah but 4.6 engines sound a lot better!

[@garcia1177]

BigBadMarketer 4.5L is a starting point and the 2V Set up with some great exhaust system really wakes up the car and it can sound beautiful if you do it right. HOWEVER if a custom 5.6L ever crosses your path you take it no doubts.

[@331Grabber]

Get a 1999+ GT add the body parts and score a DOHC 5.4 out of a Navigator. Cams, intake, exhaust and a lot of money later you might have a passable clone.

[@basingold3651]

I love the wing, wheels, the boss engine, the T56 gearbox, body kit, brakes, interior and of course them awesome side pipes! I love everything about it!! A dream car of mine since NFS HPII.

[@slickfox816]

basjon ingold good times. I always picked the NFS edition of the cobra r which was yellow with black wheels

[@basingold3651]

Chance Lavin Good stuff mate! It had a black bonnet and stripes as well.

[@CanadaBud23]

Must have a been a different game because the Cobra R I had was crimson red with a horse ghosted on the sides.

[@quenthiamartin3432]

I love the sound

[@gnarlytothemax]

fun fact. the color is called "Ticket Me Red"

[@A.J.1656]

It's actually "Performance Red"

[@lclnbm]

@@A.J.1656 which one is it

[@A.J.1656]

The color of the 2000 Cobra R was the same color as one of the red colors on the GT. It was called "Performance Red". I think the other red at the time was "ruby red". The "performance red" was more orange. Under yellow tinted streetlights, the paint looked orange.

[@IDKBRAH123]

Haha

[@rajasingh-xf7wu]

My mustang is red lol

[@DrBIeed]

The spoiler on this car is functional just like the spoiler on the old super birds. I really wish fast and furious had never existed. It makes it difficult for the younger generations to decipher exactly why certain things are the way they are. I'll break it down for ya. If you see a Chevy Celebrity or a Honda Accord with one. Thats riced out. If you see a Dodge Viper ACR with one, that serves a purpose eye sore or not.

[@genarogarcia104]

[@nanogamer4546]

Well said

[@BarryKunz64]

don't forget about not only the giant riveted aluminum wing on the back of the Honda but also the free spinning wheel covers.

[@gdmcgill]

A spoiler can be functional on any car if it's designed properly.

[@ceegee3514]

the unicorn of all mustangs

[@longtailgt]

Beautiful car! I know many people hate the SN95 gen Mustang but personally it's one of my favourites. And this Cobra R may be one of my single favourite Mustang models ever! Had so many awesome memories playing Hot Pursuit 2. Great video man! Happy to see these cars being driven and not just made garage queens.

[@RamblinAround]

If you ever get the chance to take one of these for a spin, do it. It really performed better than I expected.

[@longtailgt]

@@RamblinAround Sure! I highly doubt I'll ever get that chance but you never know *fingers crossed*

[@RamblinAround]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video. It sure is an awesome machine. It was the first 2000 Cobra R that I have ridden in and I was genuinely impressed with it. It corners amazingly well.

[@jpete3027666]

Putting down probably over 400hp stock from a naturally aspirated 5.4 was a great accomplishment in 2000. Wonderful car.

Ford should have used this engine in the Mercury Marauder. That and the 6 speed would have been a killer combination 😀😆

[@RamblinAround]

Yes, Performance Red was the only color offered on the 2000 Cobra R.

[@RamblinAround]

The general feeling is that these cars where underrated from the factory. That 385 HP figure is closer to what it puts out at the tires. This car went 0-60 in 4.3 or 4.4 seconds and 12.9 in the quarter.

[@MrCargod05]

I have only see one of these in my life. It is awesome.

[@losavila21]

what a beauty 😍. Saw one for sale near me by owner for under 65K .Wondering what it would do if supercharged 🤔. I am yet to see one supercharged . Think most owners want to keep it stock to keep value and to show the beautiful and unique manifold since only 300 made but still wonder what it would do supercharged. I'lll see about making payments 🤣. Good video 👍
