Cobra Kit Car Ep.4 Its Alive!

[@Rudysadventureanddesignreal]

TREVOORRRR!!!! 💪

[@frankhage1734]

The Lab should put the Cobra into "teenager mode" until the staff has proper training with the car on a real track. We need an episode where everyone sets lap times after coaching.

[@MisAdventureLab]

Ooh good idea

[@dennispalmer6007]

I was thinking senior mode. Slow and over cautious. Teenagers will wreck your shit then say it wasn’t my fault.

[@erincummings745]

“Straightest thing on this car is probably me” 🤣

[@katreniaclark]

TREVORRR!!!!!! That thing goes like the wind in Hurricane. First one to hurt it, Georges.

[@GeorgesBrown]

I hope it’s not me…..but the odds are good 😢

[@katreniaclark]

@@GeorgesBrown Sorry, I was just going by your past reputation with vehicles.......

Great, you’re to the cart stage. Love it, and your build! I’ve been piloting a MK2 since 07. Be careful , they will come out from under you slicker than Minnesota hoot owl shit, have fun and enjoy the ride! What IT Means to Drive A Cobra. I’m not the author of this, it’s been around the community for years. “If you want to just gas and go, and never have to worry about replacing an alternator, or snuggling down the header bolts, or getting a wet leg driving in a rainstorm, or learning how to set your carb float level, or driving in traffic on a warm winter day with “winter gas” in the tank, get a Corvette. “ With a Cobra Replica you have to remind yourself that you are driving a handmade race car on the street. There is no compromise for anything other than pure speed. These cars are brutal and unforgiving, with all the refinement of a medieval battle ax. Like being in a relationship with an exotic dancer, you can never take anything for granted. These cars don’t have millions of miles of testing refinement before you get yours. For any trip longer than an hour, you need earplugs, and goggles, and carry Advil and eye drops. You will need to learn to “read” the clouds for rain in your path, and have experience in un-wrapping your frozen fingers from the MotoLita. You will experience lady passengers “wetting” the passenger seat when you merge into traffic from an on ramp, and then nearly burn their calf getting out of the car. You will have all the invisibility of a burning Hindenburg, and flee from underground parking lots when uncountable car alarms are screaming your departure. When you shop, you will remind yourself that these cars get more attention than a dead body in a parking lot. With a power to weight ratio better than almost every supercar, you will find your 1/4 mile times traction rather than power limited. On the other hand, when you stage, out of the corner of your helmet’s visor you will see almost the entire audience lining up at the fence, most with cameras up. If you track on a road course with a Porsche club, owners of expensive German machines will come to the fence to watch you power out in smoking oversteer. You won’t even try to start your engine in the garage, but push it out onto the driveway, else your loyal watch dog will croak from the exhaust fumes. If you idle next to other “sports” cars at a traffic light, by the green, their girlfriend will be coughing green phlegm into her hanky, yelling at her date to just go! When you refuel, you might as well prop the “bonnet” open, because you are going to have to show your motor to just about every other guy there. When you order your wings at Hooters, your waitress will whisper in your ear “take me for a ride.” When you stop at the red light, the girl in the convertible next to you will invite you to “take my top off too.” When you slowly pass a troop of Harley riders, they will look over and give you thumbs up. When you want to ease out into traffic, other cars will immediately pause to let you go ahead of them. When your engine has its hot, crackling, intimidating exhaust side-pipe aimed right at the flank of the GTO, or the Z28, your exhaust pulsation’s slowly unscrewing his lug nuts, the other car will remain motionless, as if the slightest quiver of his car will cause your car to stomp it dead. When you leave it open in a parking lot, and come back to find your sunglasses and cell phone still sitting on the tunnel, it is because your car has sullenly warned those who came over to admire it “touch me and I will rise up here and kill you dead.” When you put that tiny silver key into the ignition, and begin your start countdown, your car will whisper “take me for granted, and I will kill you.” When other drivers just hop in and snap up their belts while backing out of their parking space, you will still have two more minutes before you even get all the Simpson’s properly on and snugged down. Pulling up in a Cobra Replica is like landing an F4U at an ultra-lite convention. In summary, very, very few drivers want this kind of attention, or can tolerate all that a formidable Cobra Replica demands. These cars are intolerant mistresses. But remember, there will come a day when you have to hang up your car keys for the last time. And perhaps you want to say then “I did it.”

[@JohnA-H]

Thanks for your service too, Trevor.

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

Wow! Trevor's eyes got big when it started to roll !!!! You guys keep me laughing throughout every one of your videos!! Thanks!!

[@gravydavy68]

Yay for the Cobra! Great job to all of you. I think George will be the first to put a ding in it! He's got no fear!

[@ChrisC866]

Trevor is a national treasure. We're lucky to have him

[@johngraham1210]

George all the way. I have seen get throttle happy in his Jeep ! But at least he can’t turn this one into a submarine ! 😂😂😂

[@robinredman5192]

GEOOORGE!!! First one to hurt it😅🤣😂. 🙏, but pray it isn't so. John here, photographing the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

[@nicholasrice6786]

Love the vibe from you guys, y’all were right to shine with y’all’s own channel

[@Farang_Lifestyles]

First one to crack it up will definitely be GEORGE.... that backend will break free and spin out and wack into a curb hard.... bud damn nice build guys... lots of work for sure....

[@htownblue11]

That thing is a rocket engine on a big wheel chassis basically. Just holding on to the wheel and staying inside the dang thing is an accomplishment in itself.

[@brockryan3405]

RUUUUUDY! TREVVOOOOOR! I love that I saw that in real time. I never heard SKEEEEETERRRR!

[@georgedeedsnotwords2162]

Trevor pulls up to say hi . His friend asks is that spinach in your teeth ? He closes his mouth licking his teeth ...no I think it was grasshopper. Damn this thing is fun to drive !! 🤔 wana go for a ride ?👍👍👍 That looks and sounds like a beast . Can't wait to see it done and on the road .

[@kdgckg]

Your hair looks great Trevor…

[@Halfwheelhell]

Congrats on the first firing!

[@titaniumhen]

Sweet! Duck Dynasty of the Desert!

[@ericfaley9019]

Glad to see the Cobra is coming along. George will wrecked it. Rudy!!!

[@Skiridr22]

That dash is satisfying 👍🏾👍🏾

[@robd3747]

Trevor's eyes at 12:30... the look of pure terror!

[@bobbarker3781]

No. You have to keep on doing, RRUUUDDDDYYY !!!!!!!! We like it. Trade mark ? Just a thought

[@lizowilliam013]

i AM a betting person and i say George... he's at that sweet age where nothing really scares him

[@JonsMG]

Combine that with his "I'll try anything once" attitude and, yeah, it's definitely gonna be George.

[@TheHuston1313]

Like old times! Gr8 job guys RUDY!

[@novavroomvroom3435]

Congratulations on the hair growth...!!! You guys made a great decision going overseas to get your hair plugs...!!!!

[@marviator7370]

Just look at all that wonderful hair!

[@madsskov_dk]

It’s gonna take some wheel-time, getting used to that race car! Please be careful! I wish I had one!! 😂

[@brj_han]

Go drive Highway-12 from US-89 (Bryce Canyon NP) to Capitol Reef NP. My favorite road in Utah! It's about 120 miles long, one direction. (And stop in at Kodachrome Basin State Park and make fun of the rock formations, lol.)

[@steven.h0629]

Wow! Looking really good 👍😎✊

[@markstevens1729]

Was rocking out with the Proclaimers, thinkin’ “copyright strike in 3..2..” and then I looked at the description and.. cool! A licence! Looks like Don Henley won life.

[@kryan318]

gonna go with george wrecking it. sorry george. like a kid in the candy store look as it rolled out. doing a great job "TREVOR" cant wait to see the next steps

[@MeTheTherapist]

Trevor that hair is looking good in the wind!

[@Crewsy]

Before you even asked I was thinking that Georges is going to be the first one to “damage” the car. I hope it never gets damaged.

[@MisAdventureLab]

Man I hope it’s not me, but the likelihood is high with the plans I have for it.

[@jpolish420]

Swing away Tucker! Swing away!

[@georgevindo]

And Tucker.

[@johnd71]

Great to see the Cobra running, thats going to be a beast :-) great work guys, Jon UK

[@thomascase944]

[@Russianmafia10]

Flange to shaft 8 inches is pretty impressive

[@Lilgiant1928]

I have a friend who has a real Cobra. It isn't a kit car. He took me for a ride after I beat breast cancer. It was so amazing!!! I have pictures but I can't post pictures on here.

[@MisAdventureLab]

Congratulations on beating cancer!! That’s no mean feat

[@onefootfighter22]

Always a fun watch ! Thanks guys. And congratulations on the roof beards , I'm impressed and it looks good on you both !

[@floorpizza8074]

Fun watching you guys drive most of a car around. Hair is looking good, lads.

[@warrenjansen7096]

Best sound ever!

That thing is gonna be almost undriveable its got so much power for the weight, but what a blast to try!!

[@sleim754]

Looking good. Your hair looks great also.

[@fidlybitz]

I need to say it, no I don't, yes I do ... TREVOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRR. And now I can rest. HA. I do commend you guys on the build. I hope it turns out great. I'm sure it will though. good luck.

[@LelandBeaudrot]

[@RobertPirtle-q9g]

You’re so mellow. That car is going to be the 💩. That’s my dream car. I probably get one after my last daughter gets out of college. Blue with a silver stripe

[@taylormade710]

Awesome. Can’t wait for the next video

[@micah6855]

Tucker getting in brings back the scene from the incredibles with Mr Incredible getting into the car

[@Ripper-1992]

love the music on the car driving !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevbev1524]

I suggest you all take a driving class at a race track with cars your sorta allowed to scratch and hammer on before the blitzkrieg happens if it's not too late... I think Trevor will scratch it, Tucker will dent it, And George will bend the front A-arm frame a little. But good luck with that beautiful machine either way 🙏🏻

[@cowboyrolo7892]

Another great episode! Thank You

[@saginawdan]

Damn, that sounds nice! 😮

[@RIPGLIDE]

So cool!

[@tarfeef101]

Idk how y'all drive onroad but I've seen George offroad and he drives like his vehicle is gonna dent the rocks instead of the other way around so i gotta put my money on him 😅

Cool project. Add an intake manifold vacuum gauge to the dashboard. Tells how the engine is running.

Yo lets go! its looking awesome

[@Paintbing1]

Awesome that you guys are liking all the comments! This is like Oprah's favorite things! "And you get a like, and YOU get a like and YOU get a like too! Everybody gets the LIKES!!!" And thanks for the autographed receipt Trevor! Enjoying my swag! Oh, almost forgot, curious George gonna get curious. He's gonna wanna know what that third pedal on the right does. :) Anybody know if there is a gadget or doodad that slips under the gas pedal that can physically prevent it from being pressed beyond a set percentage, say 2%? Then as the fellas learn how to charm this Cobra they can adjust it out?

My parents' old neighbor had one with a 351 stroked out to a 427. I'm aiming to bet he had tons in thar engine. it was only stock when he got it. At 85 in 4th it would break loose with a touch of the gas. The coyote should be fun
