Only 15 of this exotic performance car were produced.
CAAD4 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I've always liked Cobras, but with the traditional Jag suspension and chassis, they were death on wheels. AFAIK nowadays the old 5 series chassis is used, which I would think makes the handling a little less deadly. Then of course, a lot of people ruin them by putting Chev engines in them. They are after all a Ford aren't they?
RaeTrewBrowne Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I'm taking delivery of mine next week but i might cancel it now because that hood scoop looks TERRIBLE!!! totally ruins a classic Cobra car!
CAAD4 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 So does yours have a Chev engine? If so it's not a classic, but a mongrel...
Chubba Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Thats just MAD! 820kw at 1,760nm 0-400 km/h in 16.9sec - 0-400??????
Sawdust Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Well if a Jag chassis was used and now a 5-series, I would'nt worry about the Chev engine making it a mongrel. Was at a stock car race years ago in Goodwood, when they had an American team out there. The commentator asked them why they all run Chev engines and not Ford, the answer was:" Ford engine engines heat up and then they blow up.." PS: Rather get Hitec Automotive here in PE to build you a proper replica. Edited June 10, 2011 by Sawdust

RaeTrewBrowne Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 So does yours have a Chev engine? If so it's not a classic, but a mongrel... was just kidding! I wish I was taking delivery of one of those! and yes if I were to get one, High Tech Automotive would be the place I would go

gummibear Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 This thing will kill you,rather get a Noble M600 or Audi R8 V10
DaLoCo Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Would like to see the crazy oak driving this car with no roof at 400km/h! Aerodynamics will stop it from reaching even close to 400 km/h.... The Veyron has 1001 hp and has to work it's butt of to get above 400km/h....
Slowbee Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 i would like to hijack the thread. why would you want such a fast car ? its not like you car drive it decently on south africa roads .....
CAAD4 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 just for interests sake what engine would you put in this body caad4? with a decent budget! Probably a nice redone Ford 351. Plenty power, and I wouldn't race it flat out, so it wouldn't blow up. You don't have to kill a V8 to enjoy it. Even a small block 289 like the older Mustangs had would work nicely in the fiberglass body. Comparing a stock car to a "classic" is not apples with apples. The two owners couldn't be more different. If you are not concerned about it being like the originals, maybe look at the Lexus V8's like some street rodders are doing. They say it's cost effective, very smooth and if the electrics are done properly, very reliable. This I was told a few weeks ago by the owner of one...
Moolz Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 an extreme car needs an extreme bonnet scoop!1760nm is INSANE!Good luck in keeping this monster in a straight line...will be an extremely opposite-locking-jaw breaking- Sunday drive... I'd rather settle for a Ariel Atom...
