Mustang SVT Cobra R

[Parnelli Bone]

Personally, I liked the Cobra R more in GT3. I can't stand the lack of power-oversteer in GT4, so I rarely drive them. To get the Cobra R handling more to my liking in GT4, I've found mixing softer tires with harder ones front to rear works wonders.

...but overall, I HATE the fact that there are no "regular" 3rd and 4th gen Mustangs in GT4 in the used lot.

....No 5.0s, no GTs, no SVOs, etc. It bothers me that I can only buy a 4th gen car in Red only. 👎 Cobra Rs are extremely rare in America. I personally have never even seen one...but I see "regular" Mustangs everyday. How come I can find a regular Camaro Z/28 in the used car lot, but not a regular 'stang?

Well, that's a change. I drove a Cobra R in the PD Cup in GT3 and never got above 4th gear in the entire series.

Yup. The Cobra R is a great match up against various NSXes, Lotuses and other sports cars in GT3. I drove many, many miles in GT3 in my Cobra R, but it's mostly due to the fact that there aren't very other Americans to play with. But you're right...anything above 4th gear (while the tranny is still stock) is mostly useless for racing.

I just bought one for 29k and it has that same sound but for some reason when i was doing the Hot rod championship a neon SRT-4 was pulling away from me why is that oh and how do you get custom pics for your profile?

Wow. This should be like 2 different sentences with commas and such, but whatever.


The front-drive cars in the American races are way souped-up, which I personally dig because it makes these races feel like everyone is sort of on the same page. It's as though PD really was trying to make even front-drive Ai count. You can beat them, tho...it ain't impossible. More power, better tuning, better driving & racing lines, etc will do it.

So far as your second question goes, you're still a New Member so you can't put up custom avatars yet. Only after a certain number of posts (I forget how many) do you get better abilities here.

BTW, I think the Mustang Cobra is a great car. Enough power. Enough weight.

Again, this sentence seems as though it should be two different sentences. Or one sentence with a comma in place somewhere. lol It doesn't make much sense, otherwise! Try it like this:

Thanks, but I don't want to pay any money. I don't care for special privileges.

It actually has nothing to do with money. As you post messages here, you go up in rank. Right now you're a New Member. Once you post a certain number of messages, you'll become an Active Member. Then a Junior. Then a Senior, etc. I'm not sure exactly when you get to make custom avatars, but eventually you do.

At 100 posts you can upload your custom avatar Now that I think about it, it would be kinda interesting to have a list with all the possible ranks.

I'm sure it resides somewhere...probably in the Site Feedback section I would imagine.

I am a GM enthusiast, however i do love this car. I like it because of the handling. I beleive this is probably the best ford vehicle in the game.

I love my cobra R

I had one, maxed out, with a awesome drag tune, and a turning setup.

I just bought alow milage one, now I am rockin 625 HP. I keep the stock exhuast cuz it sounds the best. coolest part is, the car sounds like it has a eaton roots supercharger on it. sounds awesome turnin 7000 RPM.

its probly one of my favorite cars.

No offense, but I find the SVT to be worse than the GT. (Does that make be a bad person? )

 

[Lucas]

I don't think so. But in my opinion, the SVT is faster than the GT in almost every aspect.

I have to admit, this car impressed me the first time I drove it.., First thoughts about it: "Hey a Mustang.., doesn't look like an ordinary Mustang, cool!! But it's a muscle car, I hate muscle car because of their handling.., Ahh, what the heck, I'll give it a try..,"

then, when I drove it.., ".......Whoa......... (cleared a series of corners) ....Amazing.....I haven't even tuned it, yet it handles great...this is a must-have on my garage..,"

This car is one of the very few muscle cars that impressed me, 👍👍

I believe you have been driving only old muscle cars, then. The Corvette Z06 is a much faster car than the Mustang, clocking Costa Di Amalfi faster than the RX-7, Skyline R34 and Mitsubishi's Lancer Evos. I once took part in an argument in which the S2000 was faster than the Z06. The truth is, the Corvette is way faster than a S2000, with both being stock, of course. But as I said, anyways, old muscle cars are nowhere near as good as modern muscle cars. Though I understood that modern muscle cars can't be called muscle cars at all...

The Corvette isn't really considered by most up here to be a true "muscle car", actually, it's considered to be more of a sports car. Before the Viper came along, the 'vette was the only true American mass-production sports car for a long, long time.

It falls into the "muscle-car" genre only because it's got a big V8 that is (or has been) shared by other true American muscle.
