I'm not talking about structural safety, I'm talking about useless crap. Things like power windows, locks, and seats, huge stereos, leather, 20" wheels, emissions equipment, every computer (and related wiring) that doesn't control the engine, ABS, and I would even go so far as power steering and brakes. By the time you ditch all the other junk it should be easy enough to steer and stop.
sounds like a Cobra R....
LOL @ paying $70k for a KR
the 2000 cobra R still weighed 3590lbs:nonono:
i'm real sure the owners give a shit. in fact, i bet they weep every time they see their car, "oh, why did i trade my money for something that brings me pleasure?!"
Sounds like a Cobra R except that every ounce they saved on the R they threw away with an iron block. IMHO, the R would have been better off keeping an aluminum block at 4.6L, or even 5.4L, ditching PS and PB, and putting the battery in the trunk. That car should have weighed 3000 lbs, but they blew it. With modern materials and processes cars should be getting lighter, not heavier. I think it's funny that a luxury car from 20 years ago isn't as nice as what we consider entry level today. Our gadget addiction is coming back to haunt us.
I paid a lot less than that for mine and it had 9 miles on it. If I didnt get it for what I paid for it I would have waited for the '11
I hear ya on the zo6. I traded in my 06 c6 for the kr. I just missed the mustangs I've owned in the past. Buying an '08 or '09 z06 crossed my mind several times though, I have to admit.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my vette, but I'm just a mustang kind of guy, I guess. :rockon:

With slicks I bet the 2011 GT500 will be an easy sub mid 11 second car....
The 2010 GT500 ran a 11.592@118mph with a 1.7 short time on sticky tires.
The 2011s are 120lbs lighter with most of the weight savings off the front of the car, a bit more HP, a more efficient intercooler, stiffer spring rates and improved sway bars.
Can't wait to see what they're capable of.

absolutely agree! IIRC, they even left the stereo wiring harness in the car as well, even though it didn't have speakers or a head unit.
That wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure it's just a regular Mustang harness, nothing special. It would have been a huge cost penalty to desing a new harness just for 300 cars. Most cars nowdays are wired for every option available even if not installed. Case in point: 99-01 Lightnings are wired for key pads in the door handles even though not factory equipped. All you have to do is buy the parts and plug them in and you've got keyless entry on the door handle.
There is a dealership near me that has a GT500kr on the showroom floor which has been there sence 07 , i believe it is a 07 or 08 never been sold,, i have been told the sticker is around $78,000 ,,,, started out around $120,000 asking price and last report has it about $70,000,, awsome color,, silver with blue stripes,factory crome wheels, if only it were a convertable i would love to have it!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the high jack,,just though someone might want to know!

There was a similar situation near me with a gorgeous black KR with the satin black stripe package. Would have traded my left nut for that one, but certainly not the $130k they were trying to get for it!:bash::nonono:
KR's dont count, they ship out to shelby and are modified just like roush/saleen etc
nah, id say the Mustang II
Prob the Mustang II King Cobra at that.
KR's were only made in 08 and 09. They'll never get 70k for it. Well I shouldn't say never, someone might pay that much if they dont see going price is 58-60 right now.
