These are two interesting cars that can be had for the same price now, which would you rather have?

 

Obviously the Cobra R.

And where can you find a 00 Cobra R for the same price as a 04 Cobra?

 

both 30k era, and most cobras on lots were 36k a few months ago and the R can be found for 36k sometimes, depends on the seller

 

'00 Cobra R

 

04 Cobra

 

00 Cobra R. Its a pure bred race car. 380 N/A hp from a 331 cu in engine, just beatuiful!

 

385HP from a 330ci motor

 

Why did u guys pick what u picked? i think the 04 has more potential.

 

Well, I guess I picked the R for the rareness, but imagine bolting a blower onto it. WOOOOOO!!!

 

a blower on it, figure 585hp[, a KB on a cobra, figure 686rwhp. Whos better now?

 

My '68 GT without A/C taught me a very valuable lesson: in the winter it was like a perfumed lusting mistress, in the summer it was a nagging wife without any life insurance.

As a toy, I would take the Cobra R hands down. But in reality the A/C'd '04 wins.

 

ha ha, kool explanation George

 

huh?

 

I'd still take the R for the rareness. It would be a great car for Auto crossing too. Its a race car right out of the box.

 

'04 Cobra Vert for the drivability

 

injest this
Kenne Bell 04 - 686rwhp
Blown 00- 585rwhp

 

How exactly do you get those numbers?

Now I am not a rocket scientist, and I don't play one on tv, but if the cars have the same basic engine design, (modular V8 with same overhead design) doesn't it make sense that the car with the bigger displacement make more potential power?

 

Yeah, that's the exact same thing you said the first time. Where are you getting those numbers. Those numbers don't make sense.

 

I can't believe I'm speaking for Doug . . . but . . there have been a couple of guys who have supercharged their '00 R's and I think Doug is pretty close on the numbers. There have also been a few to turbo an '00 R, but I have no idea on those numbers . . . .

I'll see if I can dig something up . . .

 

That's what I was thinking.
'04 Cobra - s/c 4.6L - 390 hp
'00 Cobra R - n/a 5.4L - 385 hp
Take the blower off the Cobra and its making quite a bit less than the Cobra R, so I am not understanding why if you put a supercharger on both, how the Cobra would pass the Cobra R.
