Driven: This 502HP Superformance Shelby Cobra MkIII Only Weighs 2,400 Pounds!

[@lmasucci]

I live your excitement every time I get into my Cobra. I also autocross. At 575HP there is nothing like it on the road.

[@realemiele.franco736]

What a MACHINE ‼️😳😆 Gad you got a chance to drive one. I'm 52 now and remember this car quite well back in 1975... I was hooked instantly. At 5 yrs old in '75 it had a profound effect on me as I got hooked on Ford Mustangs too. I can imagine the feels... that sound is amazing ‼️

[@xDivinitysCreaturex]

Love the enthusiasm! You should see how excited Bae is for our build.

[@stevegarcia9098]

My build slot is January 2023. Ordered in March 2022. The wait is killing me. :)

I LOVE my Superformance Cobra. 😁😁

[@malcolmar]

This is my dream car as well. Thank you.

[@roberttom3024]

Awesomeness! .. My dream too! … I can only imagine … I love that color combo! … Thanks for sharing your dream!

[@rreichar1]

You keep driving my dream cars. I love Dinos and Cobras. I almost bought one of these in 2017. Prices have doubled since then so I probably won’t be getting one. It doesn’t help that I am in central Texas. It was 111 degrees today so a Cobra would be like a convection oven. I almost bought an original Cobra 427 in the late 70’s in Houston. It was $5000. It looked great but the exhaust system was rotted out. So I didn’t buy it. I was young and poor and I didn’t have the money to throw at a car like that. Beautiful car though. Silver with no stripes or side pipes. Probably for the best as the way I drove in those days I likely would have died in that car.

[@itsruf1]

WoW! Thanks for reviewing this RARE car. It's not as is 1000 videos exist of this kit already! And only 1/3 are blue w/ silver!

[@patf8845]

omg that sound though. congrats man. That's a hell of an achievement for a gearhead. I think they should just change the national anthem to that exhaust noise. Nothing is more patriotic.

Would be so cool to see a blown yellow 57 Chevy pull up at the light and look over. Watch COBRA HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS and see that very scenario play out. 😁

[@stevoschannel4127]

When i first picked mine up the wife was following me in my duramax 2500, i went to shift into second hit the brake and killed it. Looked n rearview and all i saw was that big gold bowtie coming at me, she missed assholing me by about 3 feet…All within view of the old owner.

[@stevegarcia9098]

I can picture that scene and I'm busting out laughing just thinking about it. see my post above.

[@Cobra_Ranch_Garage]

It's now closer to a 6 year wait for a MKIII

[@craigcook6410]

We ordered Oct. 15th 2021. Just received first photo of body out of the paint shop

[@w.Izzy.]

seatbelts?

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

A TVR Griffiths 5.0 weighs about the same has 320 bhp and 0-60 mph comes up in 4.1 sec. It will spin the rear wheels in any gear. Is this really any better ?

[@sawggy2063]

Yes, so much better

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Has plenty of room for groceries.

[@kenster865]

Try getting that visceral sound out of an EV.... No way, it ain't gonna happen. 😎

[@peterkater4292]

🤣And yet, there's always gonna be a marketing idiot trying to convince people otherwise 🤣

[@ONTHEEDGEFRED]

With that much power you just about would need an automatic transmission in it so you could keep both hands on the steering wheel.

[@COBRATV427]

😍 👍

[@Alpha-1111]

Stup up and drive dude

[@Truckman1980]

This has nothing to do with this video but online this guy has a horrible page with false information called 10 ford engines that belong in a junkyard and 5 that will annihilate anything. The 6.0 power stroke does not have to have the cab removed to replace the injectors. They don’t get horrible fuel mileage and most definitely don’t use def fluid. One reason the 6.0 gets such a bad reputation is for people spreading stuff like this that they know nothing about. Also the 2 valve 4.6 5.4 and 6.8 are some of the toughest engines I know of. I have 2 v10s and used to have a 5.4 all high mileage and abused. Basically no issues. They might have a few quirks but people act like a spark plug blowing out makes them junk. It’s a cheap easy fix. Anyway the article isn’t correct on some things and I didn’t see any place to rant there lol

[@josephstalin6454]

What do you expect? It's HotCars. The amount of misinformation and just trashy articles they have is comical.

[@Ricardo-gv1zq]

Feel better now? 🧊
