I think one of the things that would keep me from owning one of those things, aside from the blue oval on the front, is the fact that the seats in the mustangs are so friggen crappy. It feels like you're driving a honda accord the way you sit in them. Not to mention the price on the Cobra R's. I dunno....I think I would rather have either a C5 or a highly modded SS or WS6 for that kind of money. Just my $0.02

It has Recaro race seats.

Don't you have to have a racing license to buy a Cobra R?

[TimeLord]

If you bought it from FORD that was one of the requirements,from an individual that no longer applies!!!

It's a Ford that puts out a likely underrated 385 HP... has a 5.4L V8... runs the quarter mile in the 12's... achieves over 1 g of lateral accelration on the skidpad... was one of only 300 ever produced... holds onto its value like an angry pit bull... has sidepipes... has brembro brakes... and above all else - come on man - it is seriously bad ass. Every company in the world is capable of making a sweet ride, give credit where credit is due. This thing is awesome.

I suppose the Lightning or GT are nothing special either?

i will admit the lighting is a nice truck and one of if nto the fastest stock truck i give it that, if u r referring to the mustang gt no it it nothing special only the gt500's of the old days, yes that is a sweet car but man i just dont like ford

No offense intended, but haven't some of you folks been the same ones dissing the new GTO?? Maybe I am in the minority, but I odn't really like the look with that big butt spoiler and the snow plow on the front. Just my humble opinion though.

[Jay 02 TA ws6]

I agree that the Mustang GT is nothing "special"... but I do think it is pretty cool.

What I was actually referring to though, was the GT -- maybe you know it as the GT40...

5.4L supercharged V8, 500 HP... 11 second quarter miles... a true supercar.

Are you guys kidding about the racing license?

Im no Ford fan, but that sounds like a badA$$ ride. The front ground effects are a little gaudy though.

[briantech]

yeah i agree... the $150,000 Ford GT (not mustang) is one bad car. It was on the cover of some moter magazine i think, and it soundly trounced a $100,000 porsche and $200,000 ferrari. With the exception of perhaps a 69 mach1, 64-1/2 fastback or the original 1968 GT40, its the coolest, fastest, meanest looking car to ever come out of fomoco.





If I were to ever get a car over 100 grand, that one would be on the top of the list.
