It was awesome to shoot Garrett's 1965 E.R.A Shelby Cobra. This thing had such a good stance! Now I need to shoot a GT40.

Replica Cobra’s done right are the coolest!

[@FourSpeedFilms]

I know right!

[@keithw372]

i agree , but wrong tail lights

[@patsfan8057]

Right? Unusual to see one with a real big block, usually a small block stroked and bored, but those are fun too! Bias plies, closest you'll get to an authentic feel..

[@phillipusmalan8841]

Where is ERA based? Which would be better choice- Supaformance or ERA?

[@phenom573]

@@keithw372 for a true S/C sure, but the later years did have round taillights

[@harperonline]

Being from the UK we are used to high-powered BMW's, Audi's, Aston Martin's etc, but there is something really nice about the sound of American muscle cars. This thing sounds like a really big angry lion! Love it.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Thanks for watching!

[@tommyknight9404]

Luckily AC are back and uk based, so you can buy the new 2023 AC cobra for as little as £240,000 pounds 😭😭 so, if you want one of these you can get them but, with the cost of living crisis…

[@ianmangham4570]

So beautiful

[@johnnysmith863]

Sweet! When I was a kid I did 'work experience' at a local garage. They had a customer's Cobra 427 rep in the shop for the whole 2 weeks I was there and when they went out for lunch I would stay behind and eat my sandwich in the Cobra. It was a better lunch companion than those guys, for sure.

[@FourSpeedFilms]

Awesome!

[@reganleblanc3606]

I'd slap ya for dripping jelly from your PBJ all over my Cobra 😉

[@muhammadrafay4743]

1965 Cobras have some serious race vibes really loved them whether they are replicas or originals

[@onlineburger6168]

It’s actually a race car. Back in the day’s, Carroll Shelby drove it at races like Le Mans and Ken miles drove it at willow springs

The more you drive an ERA, the more you appreciate it. The one thing I tell anyone wanting to acquire a cobra replica is get one with an independent rear setup. We did runs through the mountains when I was back east. The cars with IRS were fine. The cars with solid axles were all bottoming out when the roads got a little technical & rough. Also, don’t over do it with Horsepower. The original 427 cars were at about 550hp. You don’t need that much. Certainly don’t need more. With the weight of these cars, they are already a GoKart with a V8. They will be a thrill at 350hp. Be safe, have fun! Beautiful ERA!

[@20vtechnik]

A previous boss of mine owned a Factory 5 (I believe) cobra. I've loved cobras since I was a kid. He claimed it was about 800 hp. I raced him while driving my 91 Audi 200 20v (mildly modded). I beat him by multiple bus lengths. Truthfully, I was disappointed. Then I drove the cobra. It was brutal. Zero traction (the only reason I beat him) but exhilarating. The sound, the smells, the wind in your face, the power (plus tye insanely awesome looks).. It demanded absolute respect. If that thing could grab the road better it would have blown my doors off. Such a great car.

One of my all-time favorite cars

[@sokodad]

Anything Shelby touched turned to gold. The man had an eye for the beautiful and amazing when it came to cars. I realize it’s a replica but Shelby by design. It sounds mean and sound gives me goosebumps. Can’t get that feeling from electric.

[@CH-pv2rz]

You know Shelby didn't actually design the body of these cars, right? They were an existing British sports car with a crappy motor that he beefed up with a Ford V8 and better suspension…

[@PiefacePete46]

Goosebumps?! Hell... Just grab hold of the positive and negative leads of your EV's battery pack... It'll really make yer hair stand on end! 🧟🥴

[@Loulovesspeed]

Great film work and most importantly, great sound capture! Good job man. His comment on the shifter being located in the reverse of normal position had nothing to do with leverage. The transmission was so far past the driver, it would have been all but impossible to reach it in the normal position. The whole driveshaft was something like 6" long!

I always like the drive on Santa Rosa Rd. When I lived in Northridge, would visit my in-laws in Camarillo. Now, when I visit my parents in Northridge, I STILL take Santa Rosa Rd. to visit my mother-in-law. Not sure exactly where you are, but the backroads of Ventura County look very similar.

My parent's car was the first one I drove with power steering. Even my 65 Dodge Dart Charger had no power anything. Even drum brakes. I finally got power steering in my 69 Mustang Fastback, Still had drum breaks though. Also my first car with Air! I had side pipes in my 50 Chev Truck. They got hit with water and gravel from the front tires and got holes blasted in them. I still love the Cobras!!! I forgot the times but they went from 0 to 100 and back down to 0 in seconds!

I’d definitely rather own a reproduction Cobra that the real thing. The car looks and sounds awesome. The side pipes may want to burn you, but the car wants to kill you. Lightweight, short wheelbase and serious power means you better have some driving skills.
