Great video. I have always been amazed by pictures of your shop with the cars in it, kinda of cool to see it from a different perspective in the video.

Cool car! I hadn't realised there was so many "aftermarket" goodies on it!

It's funny - I have one of the 2002 Australian Cobra's and they're not greatly loved here - which is a shame because I love mine and I'm the original owner and I like taking it out and giving it some exercise. But it's not as tidy as your example!

People here missed the Terminator Cobra, and there were very few 2005-14 cars imported, but the 2015+ are everywhere...

Great car & a great video.
Does anyone know if the " R " Competition Option @ $ 23,840.00 is the most costly option ever offered on a Mustang ??

Great video. Thanks for going into detail and taking the time to explain what makes those cars unique. Much better than Doug Demuro.

Very cool video! Thanks for putting that together and safe flight.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. The filming/driving/editing/uploading took all damn day yesterday, but it was fun playing with the R again... it’s a different breed!

Thank you kindly!

If you got that amount off my video, keep in mind that my window sticker is in Canadian dollars.

video makes me sad I missed my chance to ride a 00R. I knew a guy that had one when I was going to school in WPB, he was supposed to bring it to the track and take people for rides and rained all weekend so he left it at home. I believe he has since sold it, that was a long time ago.

Well done, Goose! Great, informative video. I learned a lot about the 2000R today that I didn't know before. I liked the music you chose from Repeat Repeat. Pretty nice Alternative band.

Simply one of the coolest cars ever built. If I were wealthy, this would be in my garage. I absolutely love the raw nature of this car. It took guts to build a car like this and Ford did it and it didn't cost you 100K. 55K was the price here in the states. One of the few modern cars that will appreciate in value. You can't say that about Chevrolet or Dodge. I freaking love this car.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the positive feedback. I have a big passion for Mustang Cobras/Shelby GT500s... it’s fun to share that passion with other like minded people.

I enjoyed the video. One question, with all the work on the engine, why did they not make it higher compression?

Couldn’t tell ya, but for 2000, it was a pretty radical engine.
