2000 Cobra R in Halifax?
I know there is a V6 around with a body kit pretending to be an "R".
But yesterday (Monday) I was pulling onto Robie street at the end nearest the MacKay Bridge (near the Subaru dealer) and what looked and sounded like a real one just about tore the nose off my car
By the time I got into traffic he was gone.
On the way to work this morning I saw it again in roughly the same location, it has a yellow licence plate, but I saw it only from a distance.
Has the "clone" had some work done? Is this "real"? Anyone know anything about this car?

The V6 clone that's been running around has the facia, lower body work and the wing. Of course the single exhaust pipe sticking out the back ruins the affect.
This car looked significantly different, even though "technically" the same outward appearance.
Anyone remember the old song by Trooper (I think that was the group) - "She's just a 3 dressed up as a 9" ?

It's a clone! But a good one 
On the way home from work today I came to the conclusion that, having seen the car in the same location twice in a row, the owner must live in that area. So I cruised a bit and found it quite easily.
Head north on Robie toward the MacKay Bridge. When you pass the traffic lights near the "Greco Pizza" (the last set of lights before you reach the bridge), keep to the right and go up the hill. The car is parked on that street, whatever it's called
Anyhow I found it and parked. It is a full body kit, hood, wing and Cobra R wheels put onto a GT. The GT badges are still on the car. The owner poked his head out the window of his apartment and told me the car itself is an 01 GT.
It looks very good

Good job on the investigation
