A few people got a kick out of this, figured the '00 R owners have probably seen this by now. And if you haven't, click on the following link.

If that really is an R, is the owner on this site? I'd like to know what that thing really is puttin down.

It sure looks to be the real deal, but there is no way of telling for sure from these particular pictures. The one giveaway that it is probably NOT a real one is the intake looks to be too short??? at least from the angle the picture was taken?? our real R intakes are very long, covering the entire length of the engine.


The setup is of course all custom as there are no bolt on kits available for our cars, since the production numbers are so low.

The guy on our forum who owns a real one with this setup may chime in and let us know if this in fact is HIS car??

from reading the first post, it appears the thread starter is the owner and he says it's a replica.

I believe this car is the real deal, not a replica. I recognize the license plate and the referal to being "clean for a desert car." This car indeed is down here in the valley of the sun. I have personally seen this car and talked to the owner a number of times before and after the turbo was installed. All I can say is that the turbo set up, plumbing, custom headers and exhaust are works of art. Very, very nicely done. If I remember correctly, the rear wheel hp was near the mid 500's. Last that I heard, the car was recently or will soon be featured in one of the Mustang mags. Definitely one of the baddest Cobra R's on the planet right now.

Upon closer inspection of all the pics, it sure does seem to be a real R. I am convinced this one belongs to one of the guys who frequents this forum every now and then. Can't remember his board name or where he's from...but I am pretty sure this is his car?..

The pics are real, the person who posted them is not the owner, but someone telling a tall tale.

The real owner's name is Mike and he lives here in Phoenix. Car was bought from a dealer in Oregon last summer. That is one "bad" ride that he actually uses as his daily driver. A true super high performance street car.
