Cobra R
In 2000, a special Cobra R came in limited production of 300 with a 5.4 L DOHC engine that produced 385 hp (287 kW) and 385 ft·lbf (521 Nm) of torque. This model was street legal; however it lacked many of the comforts the base production line Cobra enjoyed. This model had no radio, no air conditioning, no heating, and no back seat.
The limited edition 2000 Cobra R
The 2000 Cobra R had several distinguishing features that allow one to easily identify it as something more than a normal Cobra. The "power dome" hood for instance, is taller than the normal Cobra hood, and has gills that can be cut out to reduce engine compartment temperatures. The rear spoiler is tall and wide, providing much needed down force at high speeds. The front bumper is adorned with a low riding, removable splitter that keeps air from getting under the car and inducing lift. The wheels are also uniquely styled five spoke 18 inch x 9.5 inch alloys. With its aggressive styling and harsh suspension, the 2000 Cobra R was basically a street legal race car.

- It should be noted that the 1999 Coupe production numbers are incorrect (4,113). According to SVT, there were only 4040 1999 SVT Mustang Cobra Coupes built, #3892 of 4040.

no, these were street legal cars. However, I believe in order to buy one of these from a dealer you needed an SCCA license
I like yours better, but this is still a nice ride. Here is a link to an article C&D wrote about it
