[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 10059453, member: 9628"] I know, the KR is capable of 1G, and that is impressive given its weight but the 2000 Cobra R was on underpinnings that were originally from 1979 FOX technology with a few upgrades/updates along the way through the SN-95's. That technology was way behind in the 2000 Cobra R era (except the IRS), in comparision to the KR's technology level when it was offered to the public. The KR's suspension technology was not "outdated" when it was produced. The 2000 Cobra R (with its IRS) achieved 1G+ with otherwise Ford Fairmont related underpinnings from 20+ years prior, and a few updates as I mentioned. I believe the SN-95 technology was called FOX-4, which means it was still a variation of the FOX platform originally designed for a 1979 Mustang and Faimont. I found that once I drove my 2000 Cobra R and put some miles on it, the pebble issue was not as bad as it was originally. There was another variable for this, I bought the 00R when it was 3 years old, it had 21.6 miles on it. When I sold it it was 8 years old and had 850 miles on it. Did the tires become hard from age during the time I owned the car and that is the reason they were not as sticky as when they were 3 years old? R [/QUOTE]
