One of the benefits of living in Dearborn is you get to see all kinds of factory test cars around town. Today, I was driving behind a new silver mustang that sounded great. As I pulled up next to it, to get a closer look, the first thing I see is our gills sticking up from the powerdome hood. I caught the driver's attention and asked him where he got the R hood? He said that it was an R! I preceded to tell him that I know R's, I have an R, and that ain't an R! To my dismay he confirmed that yes it was an R and it belonged to Ford Motor Company. We slowed down as we were talking and I gave it a quick inspection, before he downshifted and disappeared. (I was in my Truck, dammit)
It had one 3" exhaust pipe on each side, R rims, R unmistakable stance, guage set that looked like ours, and a manufacturer plate!
I thought to myself what a wonderful job that guy had! Probably works for SVE, gets to drive all kinds of test cars and today got to drive a factory 2001 Cobra R.
Reminds me of another friend that drove a factory 2000 Cobra. Ford didn't sell any of those to the public, but that doesn't always mean they didn't make 'em!
