[QUOTE="Goose17, post: 16416323, member: 137255"] I disagree with your assessment, slightly. As for Terminators being “bigger legends,” a big part of that is a numbers game. There were 19,140 Terminators and only 300 Cobra Rs. Owning both, I would consider the 00R to be the “top dog” New Edge Mustang. Most have never seen a 2000 Cobra R in person and even today, it remains unobtainable to many. The other big part of the “Terminator legend” is how mod friendly the car is to make good power. There haven’t been too many heavily modded Rs simply because of the few numbers available as well as the modding cost and subsequent value loss when messing with perfection. I can’t argue with your “keep the Terminator clean” comment since mine is 100% original. As a collector, I’d say mods hurt value. Having said that, you can get a more well-used 03-04 with more extensive mods on the cheap. This would be a good base for creating the 00R clone. If at any point Erich or a future owner wanted to return the car to stock, the hood, front fascia, rear fascia, side scoops and potentially the side exhaust would be easily reversed. If the original trunk lid was drilled for the fin, you would have to fill the holes or replace the lid. I wouldn’t consider the clone as a permanent change. It could be fun to play with a boosted “R” for awhile. [/QUOTE]
