I have to admit when driving anything with similar safety concerns it changes the way you'll push it, especially if you've rolled before. Even I'm the best of situations being at the track it is an enlightening experience if its the real deal, roll not tip or tumble dry. Funny thing is I've driven an original iconic Lancia, the car they won with in '83 though this one was built as a modification a few years later but everything was indeed accurate if you get what I'm saying by the main topic lol. When driving that car I had no problem tossing it about and feeling that absolute zen, hitting a transition on dirt on an s curve and it feels like a dance, that you won't get in AWD of today's rally competition. But ya anyway regardless of the assurance of death if she goes over it was present like it was in an open top of a similar setup and it all comes down to perception even when you KNOW it's a false security.

I was a Designer on the original Viper and Carroll Shelby was asked to give some advice as one of the performance goals was to match the 0-100-0 time of the original Cobra. I had the chance to meet him and talk to him at length about cars and his other passion, his badass chili. One of the nicest men I have ever met and the absolute high point of my design career.

As you probably know, he also helped create the prototype Sunbeam Tiger ( I am restoring a ‘67 Tiger) and legend has it he wanted to drop a SBC in an Austin Healey (he drove for Donald Healey) . I had a 327 ‘vette powered AH3000...wicked fun....never lost a race :)

I've watched this and other Cobra reviews many times. I've been in love with Cobras since I was in middle school in Hawthorne, CA. Carroll had already started manufacturing Cobras (and later GT350 Mustangs) in a hangar at LAX not far from where I lived in Hawthorne. I distinctly remember walking with my buddies by his small showroom on Sepulveda/PCH there in El Segundo one day circa 1965. In front was a real-deal brand-new 427 Cobra in a color scheme exactly like the one portrayed here. Us kids were wowing at that machine through the window 'cause we knew what that was sitting there before us. What a wonderful memory! I wonder if that car we saw is still around. One can only hope so! 🙂

[@Loulovesspeed]

@ken sheldon - That's a great memory, Ken! I knew a guy in my town in Simsbury, Connecticut that bought one of the last 427 street Cobras. I talked to him about it every chance I got. I remember asking him if he got a lot of taunts by Corvettes at stop signs or red lights. He just said, "Naw, I thought I would, but it had already made quite a name for itself and they would simply nod, or even give me a thumbs up."

Shifter position being angled forward was actually due to the fact that if it were positioned normally (straight up or angled backwards) it would make shifting incredibly uncomfortable and in most cases very hard as your elbow would make contact with the seat.

Forget Superformance right here in Massachusetts we have a little company called factory 5 racing. They make incredible Cobra kits with an array of choices for engine, transmission, suspension etc.

[@shelbyvbthesnake]

hpkntnw I want to build one but you can buy a continuation cobra from superformance. And it’s classified as a Shelby Cobra not a kit car.

[@gt1r]

Superformance cars are a tad better

[@SPfg3388]

@@gt1r The are much more than a tad better. Factory is fine if you want to build your own. If you want a top notch factory built car, its Superformance or Backdraft.

I used to build these for a different company out where I live and we built a dozens of these for Shebly American out in Vegas, these were super fun to build I miss building these.

This is the car that brought me to America 42 years ago in 1978. I'm a Teslarati now, but still lust for this car.

[@collinburton6022]

We have chassis #1155 and a 620hp Shelby 427 with a Jim ingleece carbureted Webber system it is amazingly awesome

[@randomuser1687]

Sure you do kid

[@ioannichols6485]

real one or a replica

[@collinburton6022]

Ioan Nichols the same company that made this one Superformance the only company that got licensed by Shelby before he died

[@ioannichols6485]

So a replica

[@collinburton6022]

Ioan Nichols yes but these are the best replicas in the world for the cars they produce

[@BradThePitts]

3:22 FUN FACT! There are several professional builders of Factory Five replicas that can build you the same car and save you about $100,000. The Factory Five will also handle better and stop better. The main drawback is you won’t have an “official continuation Cobra" and you won’t have your chassis number in the Shelby Registry.

[@TheJohnnyf10]

That body difference isn't noticeable till a real one pulls up then it is obvious. Also at the end of the day the resale value does mean something. And I just feel like in my opinion I would want one as true to form as possible (modern breaks would be nice though) and if I had one of those built everything I said I had a cobra there would be that little voice in the back of my head saying "not exactly buddy"

[@BradThePitts]

@@TheJohnnyf10 Comparing all replicas, I actually notice how the car sits off the ground more than body-style differences. For example, one Cobra replica has a long wheelbase and it does not look right to me. I have a keen eye though - I plan car club events for Cobras and Cobra replicas so I see these all the time. At the end of the day, I love all Cobras, and it's interesting to me how/why each owner chose their Cobra.

[@hanslubas]

I only agree as long as you pick the FF with the IRS...

[@TheJohnnyf10]

@@BradThePitts and at the end of the day that how and why makes every bit of difference whether it be price or a certain engine they just needed in it. Like I said for me I'd want it as original as possible but I wanna be able to stop good lol

[@BradThePitts]

@@hanslubas My solid-axle FFR with aftermarket 5-link corners harder than my first FFR with IRS, although the breakaway point comes more abruptly. Tires were the same, coilovers were not, so it might not be apples to apples comparison. One thing is for sure, I'm not busting axles at the dragstrip like I did with IRS!

[@chriswilliams2305]

Dude. DUDE!! You absolutely 1000% nailed this video! The presentation was flawless as was relaying the experience to your veiwers and fans. Its almost as if the experience changed you somehow. Now then. You know you have to have this car. It fits you. (Hell, it fits me too!!) Don't try to over think it. Just buy it. Your life will be more complete. Oh, and you do NOT want 750hp in that car!!

Yes a Shelby Cobra 427 1965! It has an awesome V8!

[@Loulovesspeed]

Did you know that almost all 427 street Cobras had 428 hydraulic valve engines that were less powerful than the 427? Even though the fender badge and valve cover insignias said 427, it was really a 428. The 427 was an expensive engine and Shelby didn't want to over price the Cobra anymore than it already was over the Corvette. All of the racing 427 Cobras were the real thing, and if an owner of a 428 street Cobra found out and complained to Shelby, he set him up with the real 427! A lot of guys are unaware of this "fun fact" as they are called.

[@ashtonhendrick8985]

Ever since I was a little kid playing with toy cars the 65 Shelby cobra has been my favorite car. Never owned one, let alone driven one, but if I could choose any car, this is the one.
