Real 1,000 HP '93 SVT Cobra Wins Sick Week Stick Class | Drag & Drive! 8-Seconds, Street Legal!

Darin Hendricks takes the Stick Shift win in his first-ever Sick Week Drag & Drive with his 1993 SVT Cobra. It's powered by a supercharged Cobra Jet engine, back with a 5-speed and runs 8s in the quarter mile!

[@vibrant93]

What a cool video! I'll never forget meeting Darin at WFC 1 Bowling Green. I was 18 years old and had just bought my '93 cobra and was striving for any type of input I could get to make it quicker. Darin took a bunch of time and talked with me about his car and what was working and not working. Super nice dude and I've enjoyed watching his progressions through out the years. Congrats on the stick shift class win!

[@flowtechinduction5124]

WFC1? Damn... I worked the staging lanes at that event.

Mr. Smith, been following ya since MMFF, started reading that mag and 5.0, Super Ford, and running Mustangs back in 95. Lived about 15 minutes from Old bridge Township Raceway Park, right in Manalapan. Ran Stangs, Japanese, euro, and sport bikes there, back into Murican power for a couple decades now. Bradenton has become my racetrack since we moved down to FL back in 2004. Great ol track, reminds me of the times with Mustand vs Grand National back in the day. Now that Cleetus has a half share in the track (and owns Freedom Factory next door), I’m glad to know that the track has a prosperous future and not the future the fell onto Raceway Park and others in the past few years. Your contributions in the online media is sure to help keep it going and keep our sport alive. Great to see what this gentleman can do with the ol Foxbody (specifically Cobra!) chassis. Thanks again from an ol Jersey boy and now a Florida res of about 21 years. 👍🇺🇸💪🦅🙏✝️

[@revanevan]

Thanks, I've been in Florida 15 years and love it. Bradenton is definitely a fun track, be sure to say hello if you see me down there. Thanks for watching!

[@phillip-cl8bk]

Evan i meant to thank you for holding it down for the stick guys!!! seems like theys not many youtube channels putting any light on the clutch guys

[@Fox_306]

Outstanding combo. I can't believe I missed this in person at Sick Week. If I saw one more 5.3 LS Turbo combo I was going to puke.

[@600wheel]

I’ve been puking for years but the domination of the Coyote is hitting hard. Brett Lasal broke way too many big money car owners hearts…again!😂😂

[@arkhsm]

@@600wheel Don't forget Randy Seward (drag racings IRON MAN), in the 8.5 class ! He WON class on day 5 with an 8.501 ! His teal notch called Pony Express, is turbo Windsor powered. By the way, he also won class at DRAG Week last year !!

[@600wheel]

@ I absolutely didn’t I’m probably one of the only guys rolling around with 600 wheel in my Mustang with the stock Windsor block it came with although ferociously warmed over. Im a Windsor absolutist and I love when a Windsor (even 351based) powered Mustang kicks ass. I’m just so glad the days of the LS in every Fox at the track are soon to be behind us that I am pointing out why every single chance I get 😂Off the top of my head I can’t remember his name but the guy in the teal cobra that won stick shift is running the 5.2 cobra jet “coyote”with a Whipple in his car

[@johnhartman5507]

Happy to see this feature. Darin has done a lot with that car and is successful in everything he tries. Winning this event comes as no surprise. Heck of a guy. He deserves this attention and a lot more. 👍👍

[@phillip-cl8bk]

im a GM guy but i got a soft spot for foxbodys!!! n i love seeing see em with ford engines! this fox is one of my favorites top 2 for sure, i adore this car

[@ford9050]

So cool to see him still racing. I remember talking with him on corral (Coiled) and giving me advise back in the pure street days.

[@aguyinnc2865]

Love the car, love how it still has the stock street look, but has some amazing engineering in it to do the drag and drive. And haul butt! Thanks Darin for sharing the car with us, it's beautiful! and thanks Evan for another great video!

[@stephenlea5765]

I’m a GM guy and I’d love to have this car! It’s an awesome build. Thanks for racing it as it was intended & not kept off the road as a trophy.

[@clintondavid525]

So pumped to see this! I couldn't get enough of that fox during all the sick week coverage! It is my dream build. Its perfect.

[@genemounceSr]

You are the ONLY channel I've found this car on.. My favorite car of Sick Week, by FAR !

[@DanandBarbSchool]

I checked this car out in Bradenton. His car is absolutely beautiful! I am so disappointed that I can not watch him in NMRA Coyote Stock anymore. Congratulations on your win!

[@mikecurtis2585]

Great looking Mustang! That high RPM Ford sounds amazing going through the gears!!!

[@coffeecan7440]

Thanks for sharing Evan, perfect drag and drive.

Super cool! I can’t wait to run my 5.4 4V soon!

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Awesome car & driver, thanks, Evan! Great video, thanks, Abe!

[@kirklandracing]

Logical choice for this racer since there is no more NMRA. Hope to see more racers from NMCA/NMRA take an interest in this drag & drive events.

[@jblaze0382nj]

Ty for another great video. I didn’t think it was possible to top the Mrs Maverick video but you did

We're trying to improve with every video we do.

Yo what happened to the Mercury project?

[@keithclark3079]

Many fans have wondered why this project seems abandoned, like a uncle Tony project, FYI, A FANTASTIC PROJECT, DO HOPE YOU RECONSIDER ON THE BUILD THANKS..

[@600wheel]

What is a V gate?? I’m thinking it’s like a sequential but forward and backward instead of all back to go up. If so how do you shift down?

[@DUIDave-s1k]

He has the original floor mats in it.

[@antz19coyote73]

Talk about beating the Shit out of a Classic.

[@maximusvonce1381]

Cobra Jet engine is same thing as a fully built Coyote 5.0. Its pretty much a built Coyote.

[@flowtechinduction5124]

Best to stay away from cars. You haven't a clue.

[@maximusvonce1381]

@flowtechinduction5124 You are really dumb. Typical knuckle dragging country bumpkin drag racer 😆😆😆

[@pmd7771969]

Awsome

[@maximusvonce1381]

Why do you need a triple pump for only 1050wheel. Deatschwerks twin dw400 pumps will handle 1500crank on e85, which is about 1200wheel. Are you gonna make more power later?

[@flowtechinduction5124]

How to say you never ran a Drag and Drive combination without saying it.

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

The guy sounds like Tim McAmis but going 300 mph in his mind and his body only lets him do 100. Meanwhile Evan is cruising at 70.

[@jameshuppert4685]

Evan, I talked to Darin on the last day at sgmp. I was telling him about a local to me stick shift race at Farmington dragway in june of this year. I wanted to send him info on that race because he seemed to be interested in it. I assumed i could find him on Facebook, but haven't had any luck. I would like to email him the details. If you have his email i could send it to you to foward it. Thanks.

[@revanevan]

I don’t have it but he’s on Facebook with his Hendricks Motorsports page

[@jameshuppert4685]

@revanevan thanks

[@onefortheroad2291]

I know it was probably done when 93 cobras were relatively cheap and easy to come by, or perhaps done in stages, but it pains me just a little when someone makes a full blown race car and doesn’t just start with a 4 cylinder etc. Awesome car though!

[@flowtechinduction5124]

Why would you need gear vendors overdrive when you have a 5 speed. I dont get it.

GF-5R 5-speed has a 1:1 5th gear.

[@maximusvonce1381]

Is this car on e85

[@revanevan]

We covered that in the video.

[@maximusvonce1381]

The car would be even faster with a full sequential reverse pattern valve body big stalled th400.

[@revanevan]

But less fun.

[@maximusvonce1381]

​@@revanevanTotally incorrect. Full manual big stalled th400 is way more fun and no clutch failure because you still have to manually shift except no stupid clutch to push in. The real fast drag racers all use em. Sorry you are wrong.
