STCOBRA Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi guys. I purchased my KR from Weslaco Ford in Weslaco Texas. It was stickered for 81995.00 and I got it for 57000.00. I had an 07 Shelby and I got 36000.00 with 4500 miles on the cloclk. Alex, no I'm not leaving the mods on the car. A friend of mine is trying to buy it as is but is wanting to trade in a Supercharged Jaguar and he's backwards on it. If no deal is done, I'm taking the stock parts back and the Service Shop is going to swap them out(TVS, FRPP CAI, L&M TB, FRPP KR's(It does sound similar but Real KR is deeper) and then I will sell these parts. I won't modify this one! A. Solis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiaCobra Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Please describe how it is more refined than the GT500. I'm always looking to "one up" myself if I can justify it. For starters, the suspension is where all the engineering went into. That's the biggest difference between the KR and GT-500. The KR also has 3.73 gears in the rear and a CAI. The exhaust is completely different too. Don't forget about the functional front brake cooling. The other stuff are cosmetic (hood, mirror covers, front splitter....etc) Also, if you're into production numbers, they only made 1723 KR's world wide.
