i think there were 550 :P 250 in 95 too correct? with the 5.8L rated 300hp lol but they really didn't look much different than the regular 95 cobras.. except for the smexy wheels.
nevermind saw the 2000, my mistake but yeah they did do 250 in 95 which seem to be rarerer, but they made 50 less and they are older.. so i guess thats why

Ford formed a Special Vehicle Team (SVT) in 1991 to create high-performance cars. SVT's first offering was the 1993 Mustang SVT Cobra. Their modifications resulted in 10 more horsepower and better handling. Later in the year they offered a race-ready Cobra R. The R had no rear seat, air conditioner, or sound deadening material to make it lighter. The wheels were black with chrome hubcaps. Only 107 were made.
2.3L EFI 4-cyl 105 hp S Code
5.0L EFI V-8 205 hp HO E Code
5.0L EFI V-8 235 hp Cobra
Cobra R D Code
had no more power than the reg cobras but suspension and lighter... lame.

That weight reduction combined with better suspension under them and the 5 lug wheels made a world of difference. If you ever get a chance to ride in a 93R, you'll swear it's the best made fox out there as you rip around a track.

my neighbor actually has one.. the car is so f*cking nice. He took me for a spin in it and that thing is just ridicolous. I think he's the only one in jersey with one. He's got some extra goodies on it to. I would love to see that against a stock termi on the street.
