I'm curious, have any sn95's hit 200 in the 1/2?
Cobra R is sick, glad Ford made it.

They way I see it, there are plenty of these cars sitting in a collection perfectly preserved with little more than the miles from the factory to transporter to dealer pdi area then on a trailer to the owners garage.
If it wasnt for the rediculoudly low production numbers, there's really nothing too "special". They are still bad ass cars, but a body kit, NA 5.4 and road race wing New Edge Cobra isn't the be all end all of the mustang world.
I was caught up in the whole "Its a collectible car" nonsense when I first got my GT500. Then I couldn't resist racing it. Then I got hit at the track by a GTR causing enough damage that I needed to replace a number of front clip parts including the hood and radiator core support.
Collectible car got thrown out the window. I had big plans for her, but if in the process of building big power I window the block or destroy the heads or both, I'd never be able to affordably replace them with factory correct parts.
So I watch projects like this come up and smile. I giggle at the purists who hate. They're probably hand waxing their weekend only 2001 Mustang GT with nothing more than a K&N filter as they rage.

I have no idea if any New Edge has done any land speed or air strip racing.
Edit: I take that back, there was a yellow Eaton car that did some salt flat running back in like 2005 or so?
CCW classics on the R is going to look so daaamn good. I think you'll have to lower the R for sure.
Thanks, it’ll be very low to keep lift down. I don’t want to fly away.
I agree with others. For such a drastic 1400hp build, seems silly to use a real CobraR.
Once you are done you will have a CobraR body/rear end/interior?. New motor/new trans/new fuel system/new clutch setup. Better option is to gut a V6 and go to town on it. Half the car won't be "CobraR" anymore lol.
