Don't you mean the Mustang Cobra R that was produced in '93, '95, '00.
I've read numerous books on Mustangs, specialty Mustangs, and Ford cars in general. I have only ever seen one Mustang considered the GT-R, and that's the 2005 SEMA Concept car which never saw production. The only other R models are those that, as I stated before were considered Cobra R, which were specialty, and limited production vehicles, but featured "race" specific features. The 2005 Mustang GT-R was initially, as far as I can remember, supposed to be similar to those Cobra Jet cars which are race specific vehicles which can be purchased from the factory. But rather than be used for drag racing like the Cobra Jet, the GTR was going to be track based, like the Cobra Rs.
At first I thought maybe I was wrong, and if I'm proven wrong then by all means I'll accept it, but I've even searched for a good 10 minutes and found nothing on a GTR Mustang other than that concept. I did find one guy who slapped a body kit on an SN95, copied the paint scheme, and tried to sell it on Ebay as a GTR.

Man my bad, it was a '95 GTS; that mustang that had power nothing, no air, crank windows and was super basic but was suppose to be faster then the regular GT's because all the non-essential parts were removed.
