[QUOTE="Goose17, post: 16479756, member: 137255"] My favorite Mustang in my collection has always been my 2000 Cobra R. This is despite having a 750hp Whippled 2011 GT500. The R is just a completely different experience. It is as raw of a car as you can imagine. You feel and hear absolutely everything the car does. My R has held the #1 podium spot since I bought it. It now shares the #1 spot with my 2020. First off, a disclaimer. I still haven’t driven my CFTP more than a couple hundred GLORIOUS feet! I have been doing PDI and just started polishing it today prepping for PPF and ceramic. I do, however, have lots of time in my base model and a friend’s base model. I also spent a full day at Charlotte Motor Speedway at Ford Performance’s Racing School in a base model and I drove a CFTP on the track in Vegas at Ford’s unveiling event last Oct. My opinion on the car... it’s a super car in Mustang clothing! My, how far Mustangs have come through the years! The 2020 has about the same power as my 750hp 2011 yet it is completely different. It has 100% of the power, 100% of the time. Heat soak and brake fade were made obsolete with the 2020 GT500. The wild and unstable rear end of the 07-14 GT500s feel like my F150 when compared to the IRS and Magneride suspension in the 2020. It puts traction down through witchcraft and you can confidently hammer the throttle and know the outcome. It is like my R in that sense. I find the transmission to be 100% fabulously EPIC! It is what takes the car from another Mustang and thrusts it into super car status. The paddles are fun “AF” and if you want to go BALLS-OUT, you let the DCT do its magic and you 100% focus on your race line. Naysayers are quick to discount the new GT500 as an automatic Mustang. They have no clue what they are talking about. I have yet to find one person with seat time in the car that wasn’t blown away by everything, including the tranny. A manual transmission would absolutely ruin the 2020 and I was a die hard manual Mustang fan. Oh, and then there are the brakes... probably the most insane thing about the car. I’m surprised they don’t set off the airbags! Thank you sir! I too was stunned at how you could hit the gas in turns and it just stuck and went! The base is on 4S tires, which are great on the road course. The CFTP is on SC2 tires, which take it to a whole ‘notha level! [/QUOTE]
