Yep, "ya gotta pay to play", that's for sure! The gas is more expensive and less mpg too! Bill says, "OH well, but we're having fun!" Everyone in the club wants to get a ride. I am sure Bill can give him a good one too!
Yes, Black, we bought a R almost 2 weeks ago now. It has been at a member's house, tho, for the past 5 days getting a factory paint boo-boo fixed and getting buffed, detailed. The R doesn't have clear coat guys. You can't buff them very long or the orangy color comes off on the buffer! I guess SVT figured that since they are a race car they would be getting wrecked a lot and re-painted anyways? None of the 20 guys at the R forum use their front splitters as they are only functional at 135 mph and more. They get scratched if you hit a high mark in the road or go into high driveways. (Most all of the 20 members there race their Rs).
We got the chrome R wheels yesterday and the splash guards for the rear. Getting street tires next week. Got the snake put on the front grill. That is all the mods we are doing to it. I found a forum for the 2000 Cobra R and there are 21 people there registered there out of 300. The first 3 went to Ford. Oh, our # is #227.
