It seemed that after all of the excitement surrounding its 35th Anniversary and the Cobra recalls in 1999, Ford needed to let its Mustang recover for a year. As a result, the 2000 Ford Mustang remained largely unchanged from the 1999 model.
The only real excitement came from 2000 Cobra R. This car was made to race, not to drive through Manhattan. The 5.4-liter DOHC V8 achieved 385 horsepower, could go from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds, and had a top speed of just under 175mph.
