I remember when this car came out I was in love.



from the article:
2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R with only 270 miles, there cars are very rare and with almost new condition it is even more rare.

5.4 Liter/385 Horsepower high revving (6500 rpm redline) DOHC V8.
Stainless, short-tube headers, Cobra catalysts, Bassani X-pipe, and three Borla mufflers.

21 pictures and video in the gallery

.

 

dang...who mods a car but only drives it 270 miles in 15 years??? How do you even get to enjoy the exhaust sound if its soooo rarely driven?

 

I didn't see anything that said it was modded.

 

"Stainless, short-tube headers, Cobra catalysts, Bassani X-pipe, and three Borla mufflers"

That's all stock? I honestly don't know...

 

Yes. And this stuff as well...


"21 Gallon race-ready fuel cell, Carrillo rods, unique pistons, Canton oil pan, windage tray, 31-spline halfshafts, limited-slip differential, 3.55 gears, Brembo brake rotors, four-piston Brembo brake calipers, custom brake ducts in the fog light openings, and a differential cooler.

There's plenty more factory custom stuff in the R. How about a B&M for the Ripper shifter, McLeod for an aluminum flywheel, Bilstein for shocks, Eibach for 800-lb/in front and 750-lb/in rear springs, and Mobil 1 for oil?"

 

 

Simple, mid aged man with a collection of multiple cars, maybe looking into owning something else. Unless he only had this car, then I dont have a clue how could someone sit on a car, without driving it and enjoying it.

 

Oh, that's easy.

Step 1: Acquire or build a car that's fairly unique.

Step 2: Have another, everyday, nobody cares about-ish car you actually drive 'fo realz.'

Step 3: Worry every time you take that fairly unique car out that it'll be the day it gets messed up.

Step 4: Put car up and not drive it because of said worry.

I did that with Muskrat. *Fully* intended her to be a daily driver... aaand I did too good a job. Won some trophies, had some interesting 'ohhh, that was too close...'

Hardly ever drove her, and then sold her because I was afraid of bending her and having to do it again.

Yep. Real easy.

 

well I sure learned something today!
