| yeah, they did a nice job on that cobra R...375 n/a hp 5.4 in a lightened up mustang makes a nice package.
I love all the little type-r stock 4 bangers running around, I think they kinda got away from the real meaning. | |

| for 650 hp, that torque number looks awfully low. those numbers look like gasser numbers. for a diesel, you should be putting out near 1300 ft-lbs.
Let me put on my geek hat:
TQ = (33000.0*HP)/(2.0*PI*RPM)
So, after putting it into Excel, the answer yields 1366 ft-lbs.
hmmm..they're 566 ft-lbs short.
Unless the torque peak occurs at 4300 rpm, at 650 hp. (that'd be more like a big block gasser.)
I'm not second guessing it's ability....someone just must have messed up the math somewhere downt the road.
Gale Banks makes a quality product, that's for sure. Now he's gotta go find the engineer who screwed up!
5000rpm is REALLY high revving for a diesel...the 6.0's redline at 4000 (they peak somewhere near 2800-3200), and the 7.3's redline at 3400rpm.
okay, i'm off my soapbox now.... | |

| Yeah, Ford had 3 different Cobra R's over the years. '93 (5.0 Cobra, lightened, big brakes), '95 (5.8L pushrod, lightened), and '00 (5.4L DOHC, big body kit, bigger brakes, and somewhat lighter).
Some Japanese cars have legitimate 'R' types (Skyline GT-R comes to mind).
But other than that, it seems that the 'R' designation is cheapened by overuse from the sticker-mod RiceBoy crowd.

|  At Denny's clarification.
I would be careful Bear Hunter has that safe and knows how to use what he stores inside it.

| I just saw on the Speed channel that Audi is unvieling a diesel car to run in the 24 hours of LeMans. If it doesn't wreck, it probably stands a chance of owning the competition just like the GT40s did in the 60s because of the reliable powerplants.
Also, they had a vintage race event on the Speed channel in which there was 5 GT40s. Sexy Sexy.  | |
