Actually, I believe it was either 2003 or 2004 Cobra R that is the fastest Cobra Ford has ever built. I'm not sure about the cornering, but I've heard the handling is greatly improves over the SVT Cobra.
I would say the new Corvette because of it's weight and power, but 6.0L V8 for 400hp? It seems like a step backward, I could have sworn Chevy has done much better than that before...
Also, the new look is pretty attrocious in my opinion. The new front is just really reall ugly. Even though the flip-up lights might have some mechanical problems int he long-run (not sure it did, but just trying to figure out why they did away with them), but it looked a whole hell of a lot better with them than the weird bubble eye heardlights it has now.
I've also never been a huge fan of fibreglass bodies...
About the crossfire... It's a light car, and that's a lot of power for it's weight, but again, it's just so damn ugly. If perhaps they took the performance of the Corvette and put it into a better looking shell, I'll put my money on that make-believe car, but the way they are now, it's hard to pick the Corvette, because I know I'll have to look at it everytime I go out to my driveway. I'd rather sacrifice a bit of performance for something that will actually please my eyes when I see it. I'm not sure about the 2000 Cobra R, I don't recall exactly what you're talking about, so I can't judge on the looks. I know the newer 2003 or 2004 Cobra R has this big wing in the back that I just really really don't like, so I wouldn't be too surprised if the year 2000 one was the same, so perhaps I won't like that either...
This is hard...
