With the introduction of the street-legal Cobra R racing car, Ford continued to raise the stakes in the horsepower arena. The Cobra R was built to go fast and handle brilliantly, and was fitted with brakes that could reign in all that performance when needed. Acceleration to 60 mph took a mere 4.7 seconds, and the Cobra R covered the quarter mile in 13.2 seconds at 110 mph. The purpose-built car, which eschewed sound insulation, air conditioning, and a stereo system to keep weight down, featured a 385-horsepower motor and a highly-modified track-ready suspension featuring Bilstein gas shocks, heavy-duty Eibach springs and large stabilizer bars.
