2001 Cobra? '99 Cobra R? Or just an attempt by Ford to Tease us?


These pictures were taken by Chris Trombetta, (Steele@metro.net) He took these pictures which are of some type of  prototype.  There is no real way of knowing what this car is, but Chris claims that the person who was driving the car said that the car had somewhere in the neighborhood of 460-560 Horsepower, and that this engine will be the production engine of this car. Its also equipped with a 6 speed transmission.  Hard to believe that Ford's accountants  and geeks in white suits would let this one out the door though.  So...Is it the 2001 Cobra?  the '00 Cobra R? or what?  Chris seems to believe its the 2001 Cobra....
What do you think?

Webmasters note: When we recieved these pictures from Chris T. nobody knew what this car was, but it turns out that it must have been the 2000 SVT Cobra R prototype. At the time nobody except Ford knew what the Cobra R looked like because it wasn't unveiled yet .
