Gateway Classic Cars of Philadelphia is presenting a 2000 Ford
Mustang Cobra R. While most Mustangs of this era aren't even
remotely collectible, the Cobra R easily qualifies for an
exception. Besides being rare, only 300 built, the Cobra R was the
most track-focused Mustang since the original Shelby GT350. The
Ford Special Vehicles Team, SVT went all out with this Mustang.:
The 5.4 V8 rated at 385 hp Horsepower @ 6250 rpm and 385 lbs.-ft.
Torque: @ 4250 rpm, 6 speed transmission and independent rear
suspension combined to make Cobra R the hottest Mustang since the
original GT 350s. The exterior of the Cobra is by far one of its
most noticeable features. Three things catch your eye right away.
First being the massive rear wing. It is a non-adjustable pedestal
style wing that creates much needed down force on the track. Second
being the exclusive hood that features a large bulge to give more
clearance to the monster engine hiding underneath. Lastly the truly
distinctive front chin spoiler that is attached to a 1999 Cobra
bumper with Dzus fasteners. The chin spoiler features an air
splitter designed to create down force and get cooler air into the
engine compartment. The interior at first glance doesn't look
drastically different from a standard Mustang. Modifications
include a set of Recaro Race Seats to keep both the driver and the
lucky passenger firmly planted in their seats. The rear seat has
been deleted by the factory. The SVT Team saw it fit to remove most
of the un-needed options and materials such as sound deadening
material, under coating, stereo and air-conditioning. The
speedometer reads out a whopping 180 MPH to let you know this
factory race car means business. One of the few power control
features that remained are power windows, locks and mirrors. The
Cobra R gets the exhaust gas out just as effectively as it pulls
air in, thanks to a custom high flow exhaust system. Starting at
the cylinder heads, the exhaust gas exits via a custom tubular
steel exhaust manifold and enters a catted X pipe. The exhaust
gasses exit via a custom side exit exhaust kit built by Borla
Exhaust. The side exit exhaust is a necessity due to the large Fuel
Safe fuel cell located at the rear of the Mustang. To view this
2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R in greater detail, including HD pictures
