Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R ’00

Probably one of my favorite looking Mustangs of all time. I love how the skirts are super low, how the spoiler is huge, and most of all how it’s a beast! This is what a Mustang and American muscle car is all about. How to make it cooler you say? Make it into a drift car! All that power makes it great to slides all over the track and the looks keep everyone watching. Isn’t super heavy for a muscle car, but does have a lot of power. The added weight actually works out kind of well since you don’t get overwhelmed with power like you would with very light high hp cars. One problem with this car in real life is a lot of Ford dealers didn’t have them in stock. You would have to find a special Ford Mustang dealer that carried it and even then they were kind of rare. As far as I know there is three years of this car with the year 2000 being the best and last. Stock this Mustang has about 385hp which is a lot, but the brand new Ford Focus RS 2016 has around 350hp. Pretty funny to think that 15yrs later a tiny Ford Focus would have almost as much power as a high end Mustang. It is also a 4wd Ford Focus which was pretty shocking to me. Either way the Team Shmo Mustang SVT blows either of them out of the water in power and is a fun car all around to drift. Posted by Akis Kouvelas and pics by nbdesignz

PARTS

Best of all parts. I’m using comfort hard tires on the front and comfort medium on the back. You can use comfort hard all around if you want more slide action. No nos or racing brakes. Optional spoiler for looks.
