Looking for 00 Cobra R info.

[Franx]

Are these cars legal for the road in Canada? I've read that they don't meet all of our standards.

Thanks

DRL is gunna be a must but other than that I'm not sure. There was a toll free number on here that you can call. PM Jared he just imported a car from the states.

Good luck!

Apparently there is only 3 00 R's in Canada, my buddy's boss owning 2 of them. One is a full on race car and another pretty much stock. The stock one does get driven from time to time on the street.

When those cars were new you could order them from a Canadian dealer if you signed a form stating that you understood that they cannot be registered in Canada. Because those cars are so rare, they may not appear on customs or DMV lists specifically, so you might be able to get away with registering them as just a Mustang. You could be in for some trouble though too.

I wonder what makes them not pass safety standards, when I looked over the stock one it just looks like a 01 Cobra with a hood, splitter and wing on the outside, racing seats, back seat and radio delete on the inside. And of course the big 5.4 under the hood, must be missing proper bumpers under the covers etc for weight reduction, anyone know?

From what I found out it's missing the rear defrost, daytime running lights and it doesn't meet front end crash standards. It may just be Ontario though.

You are correct.

Seems to me that in order to pass Cdn collison standards you must actually crash a few of them in the lab for the things to qualify. Being a 5.4L powertrain does not make it fall under the normal Mustang standards. Being limited production Ford probably did want to smash them for the tiny CDN market. I recall hearing this problem with the limited run of one Cdn 2003 Saleen edition SVT Cobra, that made it in before the Riv shut it down.

Do you have a link to that or where did you see that? Are you sure its a cobra r not just a cobra?

Ive never been a big fan of the wheels on those cars. But thats an easy fix.

[shakes]
