Default 00' type R or 01 bullitt build up?

such a miserable choice... sell the bullitt and POSSIBLE 00' cobra R or build up bullitt slightly more (probably cam, eaton or KB, panhard bar and rear control arms and clutch).

In either case they both will get their fair share of use (neither is a garage queen..), id highly doubt either would see more then 1-3 track days in their life (open course).

or sell the bullitt for 03 termi and mod that slightly?

either case wouldnt mind spending around 25k+ on a car ontop of value of mine

questions, comments, suggestions>?

bullitt would have 01 cobra front end because im in love with them =)


sorry but i love to post and hear others' opinions.

Hmmmm a 5.4 or a 4.6 [8D]
No seriously... **** that would be a tough call. But hey 4v > 2v in the long run. So whatever you decide, sounds like you'd come out a happy man!

yeah it basically comes down to NA or S/C, either way im a sucker for speical editions and power (400 hp is plenty for me), im happy
already car wise but looking toward next 6-7 month future.

matt btw i love your car, looks sooo nice.

and ive seen a few R's for sale, they will always stay around same price.... in future will go up which is why i consider them as well as my other potential 94 ZR-1.

thanks

I know a guy that lives around here that has a Cobra R. It is the only Cobra R I have seen in person.

I will be getting a ride in it this summer...

i'd say cobra R, it's pretty much one of the most valued late model stangs out there.

Hrrmm.. kind of a tough choice, but I'm definitely thinking the '00 Cobra R brudda. 4V 5.4L vs. 2V 4.6L isn't really a contest as far as easy power goes. and you'd be able to squeeze 400RWHP out of that 5.4 N/A a hell of a lot cheaper than you'd be able to with a 2V which would pretty much require you to go F/I to get there, along with associated engine mods since the Bullitts didn't have forged internals I don't believe. Not to mention that the Cobra R is pretty much sex on wheels anyway.. LOL Plus, the guys are right, if you're looking for a potential collector item type investment, the Cobra R will hold a lot more value in the long run than the Bullitt's would.. Just my .02

It is going to cost you a lot to get into a Cobra R. There were only 300 of them built. Most of them are probably track cars and some are probably just garage queens. If you find one for sale, you will most likely be paying more or as much as they cost new.

It will be a lot more unique than a Termi but I think I would invest in the Termi unless you have a Cobra R in line to buy.
