All I want out of it is the engine.

but really though, besides the powertrain, it ain't all that special. no way is it really worth $50k. for that money, it's not a Mustang, but just a collector's piece.

At the time, Ford was losing money for each one sold IIRC.

Theres just something about those cars that is so damn appealing.

I rather have one than an 03/04 Cobra personally. They are built for racing. Who needs a radio when you have that 5.4 singing away, its not like itd be a DD anyway (unless you are insane). AC? Meh... roll the windows down doing 175 mph, that will be a nice cool breeze... lol.

Yeah, the Cobra R is not one of those things that is about how much power you can build for the money. Its a rare collectors car that just happens to be sweet too! Come on, a 70 Mach I isn't worth $60k either, but they sell for at least that all the time.

And Ray....coming from someone who had that kit on your car....you're calling the Cobra R ugly?

You're a retard. Cobra R is awesome. That "body kit" on the R is functional...do you know what that means? That means it is aerodynamically functional...so it actually helps the cars handling at speed.

And to those who say cobra R isn't that much more than a regular new edge SN95 are sorta right, sorta wrong. The R also has different steering rack, tie rods, sway bars, etc. Also the IRS diff crossmember that was featured on the Cobra R later became standard on the 03/04 cobra IRS as it was vastly superior to the flimsy ones put in the 99/01 cobras.

The Cobra R is one awesome platform to start with!
Also their is only 300 in the world too very rare fined.
I would rather have a 07 Subaru STI though.

I know that it has many cool minute details. For example, I read somewhere that the motor mounts are positioned lower to improve handling (not sure if that's correct). However, I think you can get pretty much all of its upgrades through the aftermarket except the big one, the 5.4 32v. That's why I think that as a Mustang it's not worth more than $35k in pristine condition. But as a collector's item, the sky is the limit.
