GTP WTAC Week 37 : Mustang R's
*** Ford's SVT (Special Vehicle Team) is responsible for creating the 300 units of the Cobra R that were made available to the public. These 385 HP/385 lbs-ft torque cars are the absolute top-of-the-line street legal Mustangs. The Cobra R's were always meant to be race ready cars that could be driven to and from the track (and not carried on a trailer). Three key physical features that set it apart from a normal Mustang are the large front spoiler, the very angular rear wing, and the noticeably large domed hood. A 170 MPH (274 KM) top speed is achievable in this high performance version of an American classic. The 1965 Shelby GT350R is one rare, but famous, race car in North America. Only 36 were ever built and only 25 are still around today. Buying one would set you back at least $750,000 USD. This was an absolute beast in the SCCA and was specifically designed to beat one car - the Chevrolet Corvette. In this instance, the 'hit man' was successful at taking out it's mark. ***
In GT4 (whose 'photo mode' I use), I currently own the 1965 Shelby GT350R, but I'd need to skip about 550 days for the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R to be available in the 'Used Car' lot. Needless to say, that's a long time (about four hours of just entering an event, and then backing out... repeatedly) and I won't be able to photograph that car. If anyone cares to do the honors, the stage is all yours!
