In this video, I remove the front splitter on my 2000 Cobra R and load the vehicle into my 20’ enclosed trailer with custom elevated ramps. I then head to the largest car show I’ve ever been to, to include the most exotics I’ve ever seen in one place!

Ok im starting to see a pattern of click bait lately and not actual info.
Well... I thought my title and description explained what was in the video. No need to click on it if you aren’t interested. Others have provided positive feedback.

Nice car man. I really like the garage too. One day hope to have one like that. The Rs surely are rare. I never see one on the road. Nice to see one being taken care of.

Thank you sir!

I would say this is a good time to buy a 2000 Cobra R. Many of my R buddies have said they expect prices to start picking up now that the car is 20 years old. You can find a decent one in the 40s and a real nice one in the 50s.

Yeah, that's a bit rich for me at this point. When I'm done with my current house projects, im going to take a week off and start looking for an old truck. Not sure what make it will be, but it may just have a 7.3 fi crate motor in the plans.

My point is lately you have been using SVTP to promote your YouTube channel.
I am making videos of my SVT/Ford Performance Mustangs and sharing them in the video section here. Isn’t this section for videos or am I missing something...?

It never gets old seeing an R. Curious how the trailer pulls with having a car sitting that much higher than on the standard trailer deck?

I noticed no difference when I built the ramps. The car doesn’t sit that much higher, but just enough for the driver’s door on all of my Mustangs to open into the escape door.

I pull with a 2010 5.4L F150 4x4. It has a tow rating of 11,300 pounds and does a great job with the 20’ V-nose trailer. The combined weight is less than 8,000 pounds. With longer trailers or flat nose trailers, an F250 or bigger would be a better setup. Not only is there added weight with bigger trailers, but the longer side panels are more prone to catching crosswinds.

Awesome car Goose! Thanks for posting / sharing on here!
Thank you sir! It’s fun as hell to drive! It’s 100% race car 100% of the time and never lets you forget that. I get a kick out of sliding it around... there is no traction control or stability control.

Thanks for sharing, that is a great showpiece and kudos to you for ripping on it every once in a while. You don't have to please anyone here. The reals ones appreciate it.

So? What's the big deal? If its mustang related, and he isnt trying to sell something, what's the problem? I'm confused. He took the time to record a video of a cobra r. If he makes money doing it, so what. If you like it, give him props. If you dont, then move on. I dont get all the static these days. People just trying to enjoy their hobbies and share. If they make a buck doing it, so be it.
