This is 13:27 of pure jealousy. We wish we were at the wheel of any of these cars during an open track day at Texas Motor Speedway. Alas, we’re sitting here sharing it with you, so you can be jealous, as well. That’s just us, we’re givers and sharers (Is that even a word?!).

The ’95 Cobra R, like the one featured in this video was built for road racing, and open track events. Straight out of the showroom, the ultra-limited run cars featured a 300-hp 351 Windsor, Brembo brakes, the now legendary Cobra R wheels, and did without any weight-adding creature comforts.

The Cobra R had a tan cloth interior, no sound deadening, no radio, no A/C, nothing to weigh it down. Drag testing of the day clocked the car in the low-13s, but drag racing wasn’t the car’s strong suit. Like our guy here at the controls, the Cobra R was meant for the twisties.

The gentleman in this video is using the car the way SVT intended; not letting it sit in the garage and collect dust. Or wait until it’s worth a lot of money, and turn it into an investment. And for that, we thank him.

In the video, it appears he’s chasing down LatemodelRestoration‘s Project Coyote swap car. That car was prominently featured here during its transformation. As you can see, technology has changed a lot in the decade and a half since the Cobra R rolled off the show room floor. While the R holds its own in the corners, the Coyote powered car almost always seems to run away on acceleration. Still it’s cool to see both of these cars being used to their full potential. Crank up the volume and enjoy.
