Those cars should not be in stock (Cobra R's - 1993, 1995, 2000). The
production numbers just don't make sense. You can make all the argument you
want about other cars that are in stock that have been produced in lesser
numbers but those cars are generally available to multiple people if you look
hard enough. The issues with cars like the Cobra R is that a large percentage
were snapped up by collectors and will never see the light of day - thereby
making the true number "on the street" far fewer and much harder to obtain than
a run-of-the mill WS6 (of which I see a couple a week - seen a 1995 Cobra
lately?)

FWIW, the 95 Cobra R "racing license" rule wasn't really enforced, and
it doesn't exist on the '00 Cobra R.
The concept of a bone stock 95 Cobra R actually being competitive in
any stock class including SS (where it's not allowed), or ESP is about as
silly as the Camaro SS or WS6 that was stuck in SS. And a lot fewer
WS6s were built than Cobra Rs. But basically few people cared, so I
guess there never was a successful petition to get the 95 Cobra R
properly classified in stock. I'd guess the same thing will be true with the
'00 Cobra R.
