sure spend your 15K on suspension.. your still alot of HP short.. and will still get worked on a track.. ok.. so put in some heads and cams.. your up to par .. your still driving a C5 ..i see a ton of em every day..

the Cobra R is a classic.
Thats an opinion. I've never debated the fact it would be a collectors car, I merely stated in my opinion, (Not being much of a domestics fan, and even less a mustang fan-personal opinion) that I would rather have a C5 vette then a Cobra R.

If you want to talk about a car with collector's value in the same price range, lets compare to a R33 Skyline GTR, in the US market. Its all apples to oranges and oranges to strawberries, and there in relative to your opinions. I merely stated why my opinion was valid, rather then blindly stating I dont care for the Cobra R.

Hmmmmm.... NO!

90 grand though? It's a helluva car, but can't be in comparison with the cobra r or a z06 because of cost.
