WOW That is a nice cobra R. I know a guy who has a 95 cobra R here at work!

 

[97 horse snake]

holy shit dude, thanks a lot. i hope you didn't type all that out for me. does anyone know how much the wheels weigh by themselves? was yours used in competition? if so, what modifications were done to it? performance wise, who has the lowest et for a stock 95r? thanks again cobrar77!

Hey 97 horse snake,
To answer your question on who has the lowest ET for a bone stock 95 Cobra R, from what I have read in my old issues of Muscle Mustangs is that the 95R that Ford uses for its shows and events has run a 12.96 in stock trim with the factory BFG's on the rear. Muscle Mustangs also used the same 95R in a comparison a year later and it ran a 13.1 in stock trim too with the BFG's. Hope this helps. Later, 95rcobra.

damn. i didn't realize that it was that fast. guess all that torque and weight reduction really helps out. thanks for the reply's all.

Yes my car was professionally raced in the IMSA Street Stock series 1995-97. During that time it ran in two IMSA Super Car races where it was thoroughly beat because it is only setup in Street Stock trim. I guess someone needed some driver points real bad… After that it ran some SCCA. It has the GT40 alum heads, Detroit Locker, Re-flashed EEC, Xpipe, Tremec Road Race 5spd (.80 OD), Tokicos, Steeda sway bars, Spec 16in wheels/tires, and all the safety equipment.

I have some cool vids of it at:

Do you have any idea what kind of horsepower was gained with the Alum GT40 heads?
