AC Cobra POV Drive - 5.7L Dax Tojeiro Replica Sound & REACTION!

AdamCFest Tickets: www.petrolhead...
MERCH: adamc3046.com
Now that the weather is getting better I have begun using my AC Cobra replica a lot more, and I have begun practicing a new POV setup, which allows me to show a true eye-level view.
If you think I'm driving like a Granny, that's because I am. The internet doesn't need to see my speedometer going above 70.

Lovely sounding V8.... You need your front wheels balancing or tracking re-aligned as I notice( & probably others too) your steering wheel had a slight wobble

I bet it will be a small flat spot on the front tyres 🤣. The joys of no abs. Did the same thing in my TVR not too long ago could only notice it over 70mph

Everyone loves a blue cobra 😀 I suddenly need to watch the 1970 gumball rally movie with the Cobra and the Daytona

[@lordfesti3203]

I remember my father owning one, it was a v8 6.3litre chevvy engine, according to the previous owners, it made 500bhp+ I cant remember all the details but I was young, but I watching this video makes me miss it. They're fun cars until winter comes or cold weather and you can't really leave them outside over night without risking a high chance of theft. But damn sometimes when you're on motorway It would always make me go deaf, not sure how to put it but its like the scene from Black Hawk Down when one of the guys shoots next to the other soldier ear. And our vehicle would backfire a lot on start up, it would make car alarms go off.

Wow wow hitz sounds awesome thanks beautiful wow fanks

[@spacedrifter1961]

Nicely done Adam, thank you 💫🙏💫

[@Cocytus]

It's not at all proper, practically a sin this having a GM Engine instead of a close matched Ford Engine, which would be the 5.8L in Ford's case, but I think we can all agree that the 427 is the only true Soul Engine for this car.

[@AdamC3046]

It's not meant to be proper, I'm sure your 1960s Shelby Cobra has the correct, matching-numbers Ford 427. But my replica has just as big a V8 to give a smile on my face at a price I can actually afford. (P.s. Carroll Shelby originally went to Chevrolet to use their V8s before he went to Ford)

[@8bitferg770]

It's a very nice cobra

[@BobbyTucker]

You've got a great engine my man, Growing up in Flint, Michigan, I have built and rebuilt more SBCs than I care to remember, I could disassemble and reassemble it with my eyes closed. Back to your Cobra, You have one very nice car, the only thing I don't like about it is it's got right hand steering. You Brits drive on the wrong side of the road! lol. Just joking. Thanks for sharing a snapshot of your life and your Cobra with all of us unfortunates, we do appreciate you, and your Cobra.

[@MattBrownbill]

[@DavidMBanes]

Your fuelling issue maybe the ethanol in the fuel. Try using Esso 99 octane, it's zero ethanol. It could also just be octane rating, too low for that old motor. That fixed my running problems. Don't swap a Holley in, people telling you that'll fix the problem really don't know that much!

[@AdamC3046]

I use the car far too much to fill it with 99 octane, and I doubt that'll be the problem as V-Power has never caused an issue before.

[@S.ASmith]

V-Power is 99 Octane but can contain up to 5% EtOH. You're right in that Esso Synergy Plus doesn't contain Ethanol in most of the UK, but without the Nectar 5p a litre off it can burn a hole in your pocket (179.9 in my town currently for Synergy+). The V8 in his car should be fine with anything more than 97/98, and considering he uses V-Power exclusively I doubt octane is an issue. It is likely the higher water content of the fuel, which fuel additives can help with and are cheaper per tank than filling with fuel that is often times, 2-5p a litre more than V-Power (which isn't cheap itself)

[@AdamC3046]

@@S.ASmith it's nothing to do with fuel quality as it has ran fine for 3 years of my ownership with no change in fuel. It will be a different variable

[@DavidMBanes]

@@AdamC3046 What about just sooting up, mine splutters if I've been pootling around for too long, giving it a blast through the rev range clears the plugs and it's fine. Maybe just needs fresh plugs, or gaps checking? Just trying to help, I know how annoying it is!

@@DavidMBanes It has been to a garage and they couldn't find anything obvious. And I can assure you I give it a blast on every drive

[@mikegc3816]

The 427 AC Cobra became my favourite when I watched The Gumball Rally in the 70s.. The Ferrari Daytona Spyder wasn't bad either!

[@S.ASmith]

You no doubt prefer V-Power but it's worth checking is Esso Synergy Plus is ethanol free in your area. It is here in Norfolk (including the one right next to Snetterton Circuit), I fill my ST-3 MK3 Focus with it and it runs butter smooth on that stuff. Tesco Momentum is alright too, but you might want some C10 containing petrol additive or ethanol protection as it can run up to 6-7% EtOH on the Tesco 99. Abuse the hell out of the rewards stuff if you don't already too...5p a litre off Esso fuel with 300 nectar points and money off with Shell after 10 £20 spends/visits. Wouldn't be surprised if you do this already, but if you don't it's worth doing; you'll save yourself a few hundred on fuel each year with the miles you do.

[@accobra383]

Hi Adam, do you have an Edelbrock carb? If so try moving the accelerator pump actuator along one hole, that is a fairly common fuelling issue on acceleration, the actuator is on the front nearside of the carb. It gives a little extra shot of gas when you accelerate to stop it hesitating/stumbling, the holes give varying amounts of gas (Edit, got to end of vid and you do have an Edelbrock, might not work but very easy to try)

[@colinellison762]

Great video Adam, Love your passion for the Cobra, they are such an iconic car, I have an AK Cobra very similar to yours, and ditto with the edelbog! lol!, Ive no idea how you get the sound so good in an open car, all i get is wind noise after 30 mph, i built mine in 2006, so is getting ready for refurb, but still enjoy doing the various shows (Mainly American car shows) around the NW, Car people are just great people to be around!

It's the time of year all the toys come out. I live in a down trodden Norfolk sea side town labelled "4th most deprived in the UK", yet I drive my ST MK3 to see a 2014 plate Vantage (then a DB11 on the A11 a few days later), a Lambo SV heading into Trowse near Norwich, 2 MK5 Supras, a Nissan GTR, 2 Audi R8s, Taycans are becoming more common and I've see a few different 911s too, though GTS is most common, I have seen a GT3 RS as well. Few months back I coped a wet race up the A11 with a Ferarri 812 Superfast...that nearly spun out near Breckland Lodge (Attleborough). Got a video from my dashcam of it, geezer nearly binned it into the verge.
