There is a Mustang Type R , it is very nice and very fast, it does something like 4.6 0-60. I don't think they made it in 2000 though, I believe they made something like 500 in 96 and then reintroduced it in 2001 as a limited addition. That car is far from ricey if it is a true type R. I would love to have one!

There other Type are cars other then Hondas. Volvo actual made a Volvo 850 Type R in 96, then later changed the tag to T5. The volvo type R's are sweet! 238 HP and all sorts of other cool do dads.

I saw a Dodge Neon with Altezas yesterday, LOL.

Cobra R

The blue was a wanna be. The real Cobra R will say Cobra on the rear bumper cover and the exhaust exits from the side on it. It's also stripped, no ac, no luxuries

It is a Cobra R not Type R and it is a Volvo 850R not a type R like the Integra

That sounds like the '95 Cobra-R, which had a 351.

I though the 2000 had over 400, but I could be wrong.

You can get those goofy "GT-R" badges from Dugan Racing.

Mustangs and Fbodies aren't really that hard to identify. You have to know some things about them, but badging, hoods, lights, etc. usually give the car away. Speedwise you can definitely tell if the Mustang is a GT or just a badged v6.
