Loveit! Is there a Chevy or a Ford V8 hiding in that sleek engine bay? How many CI's? You need to tell all now, you cant just show such a magnificent machine and then just keep quiet!

Now that will be my next project - I LOVE Cobra's!

Come, come, as Thys said: Give us all the gory details...

You and me both Johann. I have been drooling over AC Cobra pics on the web for a few years now. One day when I am rich and famous that will be the first thing I buy/build...

I know I'd have a hard time choosing between that and a Z4! :D

That's an easy choice. There's no beating a throbbing American V8 in a classic like the Cobra.

A Z4 you can buy off the shelf any time, and they dont come in V8's ..... yet.

Nah, had one of those and the Porsche is much more fun!

But NOTHING beats the sound of a American V8 (especially a big block...)

Thanx

350 chev (ek's nie n Ford man nie) with few mods

, nothing extreme .
Not yet on dyno ,
but on V8's its the torque and sound that drives me .

Robot to robot +- 400m i kicked my outoppies Corvette a few times
Corvette 5.7 L98 Z51spec (Limit slip on rear) on 290kw , 550nm but alot heavier than Cobra
After the 400m the corvette takes off like a jet .

No Eric, they don't belong in the garage.. they belong on the open road, at cruising speed, top down, with "Born to be wild" playing at full volume..

Post by **Family_Dog** » Wed May 27, 2009 9:28 am

We need to get our roads fixed first. ;)

Til then, they remain in my garage, away from you lot, 'cos I would need to protect them from 'wannabees'...

But it would be something to be able to tear along a nice open road in one of these, singing 'Born to be Wii-i-ild!"

You must speak to Chris Dicks from Dicktator he races one. If I am not mistaking that is the reason why he developed Dicktator in the first place (because Microtech etc could not manage the engine as he needed Jaco

).

Frank has decided to bite the bullet, and join George in the new open sports car series organised by Ronnie King. Man ,are these guys having fun and from a spectator point of view it takes a lot of beating. So far George Cummings, Chris Dicks, Frank Klinkert, George Esselen and Jason Coffin-Grey are showimg the rest of us what these cars were really meant to do.

Ek het gesien hoe hardloop daai cobra lank terug , dink toe was hy nog moeg .

Die Cobra is fun maar nie so prakties nie , bietjie kou in die winter .
