I still occasionally pop in GT6 and clobber many a race. Car isnt even maxed out- makes less than 500hp in-game.

You wouldn’t have to work hard if you’d have used the R32 Skyline or the ST-205 GT4. They’re just a much better class of race car

It's still my dream to find a New Edge Stang, preferably a Cobra, and build my own Cobra R with it.

[@gnarlytothemax]

I remember this being my favorite car when I was 12. There was a motor trend feature back in the day of this, a ZO6 vette and a viper going on a road trip. I think the color is actually called "ticket me red."

[@JorgeCanovas]

This car is so rare.. I've seen it once in my life. I visited here in Miami, FL a specialty car dealer. They had a small showroom, but the treat was behind these twin deli-looking doors that lead to the holding garage. Must have been 50 cars in there. The Cobra R was sitting on a lift, way in the air. It is as majestic in person as it was on Gran Turismo. Too bad that these are basically held away.

[@Thomasrollins_]

Car was a monster. Probably one of the most important mustangs ever made in regards to where product development has taken the mustang today. Completely ahead of its time, and there were only maybe 20 cars in the world that could touch this lowly ford at the track, most of which were Italian exotics. There wasn’t a German 4 seater coupe that could come close to this vehicle in performance. The only other American car that could hang with this one was the venerable Chevrolet Corvette z06 powered by the famous ls6.

[@Bloo57999]

I know a guy who has one of these exact cars, he stores it in his storage unit where I work. It has 700 miles on it, and perfect original paint. He just bought it from a car collector for 80 grand, he drives it a bit every week around town

A guy who owns Laporte tire center in Laporte, Texas ordered two of them in 99 or 2000. He kept one in the show room a drove the shit out of the other one. I just checked there Google maps profile. It looks like the one that was never used is still in the show room. I remember waiting on some new tires for my company truck and walking around that beautiful car back in 2001 shit I'm getting old.

[@BrettWareWoodWorks]

When I worked for ford in North Ga we got one and people drove from multiple states to see it. The guy who finally bought it the drove it onto a trailer and drove off into the sunset. Never got to see it really get throttled

I understand what you are saying, but these cars were rated at 385 hp, and bone stock were putting down just south of that at the wheels in factory form. Make no mistake, the economist mustang is not in the same universe as this vehicle.

Is this the Press Car or a replica? Couple of features you brought up are dead nutts wrong on the production models.

395hp, no AC, carpet optional, cost almost what a Z06 of the day did. Matched or exceeded by any V8 coupe today. Then again, 2000 was nearly 20 years ago.

[@ronyeahright9536]

It's not just about hp; the suspension on this car made it a track beast. Try to take the average V8 today and try to keep up with this car on a track, and it would be absolutely destroyed and or put into a wall trying to keep up.

Ford was very conservative with the Cobra R's hp numbers. Several R's have put down 385+ for hp & torque to the wheels. It is well known they're putting out more like 430 hp at the flywheel.

These were great put together cars, but paying high bubble prices on these things isn’t very smart. At the end of the day....it’s a Ford Mustang. The honest value for what you get should be around $38,000-$58,000 depending on mileage/condition. To drop $75-100K on a Ford Mustang is the VERY definition of MORONIC. There are WAY, WAY better and more exotic cars to be had in the 75-100K range. Save $30,000 and buy a Terminator Cobra....it will put the SAME smile on your face with the SAME performance and you can throw that $30,000 down towards something else.
