Ultra-sideways E-type v Cobra battle at Revival

One dysfunctional headlight, in the tradition of British electrical systems

Looking at the damage to the front of the 'Lightweight', I'd suspect that the lighting took a bash too, taking the light out.

[@JackF99]

[@jackfsp1]

I love this video. When I was a kid in the '60s the E-type was my favorite car. Still is. Got to see them in California at Riverside and Willow Springs. From what I recall though there was no way an E-type could run with a Cobra. In US racing anyway, Cobras dominated.

[@markmark5269]

Modern developments Mate that suit the Jag better now against the heavily restricted Cobra. If the Cobra's had the freedoms the Jag has, the Jags wouldn't get near the 550hp Cobra capability. The E-Types weren't even close to Cobras back in the day.

[@leuvenlife]

@@markmark5269 yeah they were. But not in road trim. But then, the Cobra wasn't pushing 550 back then either. Mostly the jag has a cobra just in handling. The Cobra has the torque.

[@markmark5269]

No they weren't. The 550hp capability reference was for today's engines, against today's mega dollar Jag engines. The Cobra's engines are severely restricted in historic racing, in fact all the Yank V8s are, whereas anything English is open book, including, ironically, if it used an American V8 - the Pricks.

[@leuvenlife]

[@Mark-nx1zz]

[@gtracer6629]

I find it interesting that the Jag could outpace the Cobra. By the late '60s & early '70s, in America, the Jags were pretty much being out paced by Cobras. I started racing in late 1968 & cant remember ever seeing an E Type in SCCA or IMSA GT racing. At least not in East coast races.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

The AC Cobras were seriously underpowered, especially those with the 260 V-8. Carroll Shelby recognized this early on and first replaced them in the Shelby Cobras with the only slightly less anemic Windsor 289 V-8, then, in its ultimate form, the 427 side oiler. No E-type on Earth could hang with a 427SC in the hands of equivalent drivers. Also, this E-Type has been breathed on quite heavily since it left the factory - certainly on the interior it looks like a full-on race, not road car. I wonder if the Cobra has received similar race prep?

[@torytronrud2413]

The Jags were competitive with the 260 and 289 Cobras but not the 427s. Lots of Jags were racing in North America in the mid 1960s.

[@Steveah91]

[@kariurhola8571]
