Superformance and the Daytona Coupe

[@halfinchholes88]

2 years later, and still love it. Tuned the carb, ripped the Texpress lanes, and terrorized I-35W corridor. A joy to drive. Keep up the great work!

[@halfinchholes88]

A year later, and still love my car. Replaced the hood prop gas springs... Still, a fantastic car to drive. The 427 never gets old. Keep up the great work!

I enjoyed this a lot more than Matt Farah's One Take on this car. I love Matt's videos, but this was just a cut above. Awesome video, Jeff. Love the podcast too.

[@halfinchholes88]

Love mine. A few years after seeing this video, I now own one. Coupe #129.

[@halfinchholes88]

Fuck Yeah!!! America!!! Just stuff your foot in the guts.... Most exhilarating car i have ever owned.

[@halfinchholes88]

Mine is parked during covid-19, next best is this video. Wearing thin....

[@hmackprotection1]

Thank you Mr. Carol Shelby! RIP

I love this video, well done, Jeff. I grew up down the street from a Superformance location in Chalmette, LA right outside of New Orleans. Every day I had the pleasure of seeing their cars in various stages of the build. I would slow-roll my bmx bike past the open garage doors every chance I could. My older brother got to drive one of their Cobras, said it was one of the most visceral and exhilarating driving experiences of his life. The Daytona is on the short list of my favorite race car designs including the 250 GTO, 917, 904, and BMW "Batmobile" CSL.

FYI, the 'Peter Brock' referred to is not to be confused with the Australian touring car driving legend, but is an design genius with the same name.

[@peterf4552]

Apparently the Australian Peter Brock died while driving a Peter Brock-designed Daytona Coupe. What are the odds?

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@peterf4552 One can only guess. It ws a gorgeous example too, possibly the highest quality engineering of any Daytona Coupe replica, and potentially stronger then the originals, full cage throughout, I understand it's been rebuilt since.

[@malcmo]

The American Peter Brock did not design the Daytona Coupe that the Australian Peter Brock died in it was built and designed in Victoria Australia on the Mornington Peninsula they are called Daytona Sportscars and built by Borland Racing Developments they also do not run a Ford V8 they run a Chevrolet LS V8 🌟🚘🌟

[@halfinchholes88]

Another year later, and still love this car. Blasted the Tollways to a meetup. Seems to get her legs at +120mph. Aerodynamics plant this machine.

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Better mold than factory five! Love the Superformance ones

[@chrishamilton2559]

Way, way better

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

It may also be available with a Kirkham Motorsports aluminum body as an option.

[@mc3films]

Really nice video, Jeff.

[@richardbixler]

This has been my dream car since I was 10yo. 30 years later, still my dream car. Those seats are terrible though, seriously the top of the head stops right at his shoulder blades, not everything needs to be an exact replica.

[@VladTepesVEVO]

Mother of gawd, that exhaust note is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GLORIOUS.

[@halfinchholes88]

My pandemic escape! Since the March lockdown orders, been tearing-up the Texpress Lanes. Amazing how this car pulls at +120.. Will attack same as Muldsanne Straight trials. America!!!

[@fragu123]

Inspiring video...✅

[@deckard43]

I want this .. it looks so good

[@mchristr]

When considering $200k for a Porsche or Ferrari I wonder if the value is really there. Were I shopping in that price range this car would be a no brainer. How can you put a dollar value on the ultimate automotive aesthetic?

[@Carguments]

Why does this only have 4K views?! Such an epic car and great video. 🤔 consider it shared. ( sorry I might only be able to get you one more view)

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

you mention the exhaust sound, but with those independent throttle bodies with no apparent air cleaners, how's the induction noise when you open it up?

[@TheHooniverse]

+Stanley Zitello The exhaust really is so loud it was hard to hear anything else. There's definitely induction noise though, but it gets drowned out by the loud pipes. -JG

[@gordowg1wg145]

They have stack filters - they do cost a lot of power, though.

[@cristianserra8982]

El mejor de los sueños.

[@331Grabber]

One of these with a 5.2 Voodoo engine out of the current GT350 would be the perfect car.

[@bigjohnson69696969]

So if you had the choice, new zo6 or this D coupe?

[@TheHooniverse]

+Lyle Johnson oh it's not even close - This Daytona 1000x

[@bigjohnson69696969]

Thanks, and keep up the wonderful work.

[@jaredlegere4233]

What’s the background music here?

[@kdcobra64]

American Legend

[@Dcurleyfry]

Hey I live there :)

[@gordowg1wg145]

RHD?

[@malcmo]

yes they are available in right hand drive 👍🏼

[@craigorford9932]

Want one but in grey

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

These are available in gray too. KZbin video: Our First Brochure Video

[@craigyirush3492]

You should have mentioned that they won the World Championship in ‘65, the only American cars ever to do so! Alas, the Superformance Coupes don’t weigh nothing. Think they’re pretty close to 3,000lbs. The originals were ~2,100lbs.

[@rbmaserang]

i wouldn't give two shits if it was produced originally or recently. i don't think steel gives a shit either. it shouldn't matter, but people bring with them the ego, which discounts that which is not original. but im ready for the sons of bitches who try to put down a new model, the steel is real. and you just don't get it

[@vanilakung7563]

So they build replicas?

[@MrMlbfan6]

Yeah with everything original

[@Realtime1501]

not really it's more of a reproduction of the original Carroll Shelby approved the production and 90% of the reproduction is interchangeable with the original

[@TheDustyaman]

+Realtime1501 But they will always be a replica to a investors or collecter

[@Realtime1501]

+TheDustyaman yeah but you also will never drive an original on a road,

[@TheHooniverse]

+TheDustyaman actually, the Superformance examples are entered into the Shelby Registry and soon there's talk that they could be allowed into vintage racing events.

[@Archangel3083]

Factory five is even better

[@Buckaroo543]

Gotta win that lottery!!!
