I run stiffer springs then the Cobra R. Its not that bad really.

The Cobra R is a dumb name as well. Why does Ford want to copy the import names? Why not resurrect Mach 1, or Boss?

Its the other way around. The original "R" was the 1967 Shelby Cobra Competition. One of the ways to distinguish a CC from a fake was that it had a 'R' in its serial number in a certain location, so it became known as the "Cobra R".
