About the Mustang SVT Cobra R Mk IV 390 PS

The 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R Mk IV 390 PS is a rear-drive naturally aspirated muscle car of 1,631 kg with 385 bhp, which works out at 236 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 236 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.01 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 869th quickest to 60 mph, and the 6th quickest of the 109 Fords here. Its 111.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 5 of 5 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R Mk IV 390 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 5 of its 5 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
