Overall there both amazing machines! But its crazy that a car from the 60's is making a challenge for these cars with new technology! I own a Factory Five Racing Cobra, and it's a beast! I would take the classic Cobra over any new car anyday.
Cobra has the coolness factor, the iconic vintage heritage, and the looks and name. The Ariel looks like a pretzel. There is so much more to a great automobile than just being a tiny bit quicker. Which would you rather have in your garage.
@@rogerhale6404 You think this is funny? Listen to the first clip. He was clearly redlining it. This car isn’t some Honda dude, these big block 427’s don’t have a high redline. It’s probably around 5K
@@rogerhale6404 who made it? Not all company’s are the same. I have a 289 small block and those motors rev to like 7K whereas the 427’s have more torque but a lower redline. Well as far as kit cars I don’t know but all I know is the original 427’s did not have a high redline and some of the replicas do not either (like this one in the video) depending on who makes it.
However, being able to keep up with the worlds fastest accelerating production car is something to brag about. The Atom 300 was the quickest production car to 60 mph when it was released at 2.8 seconds.
chopper girl airwar zzr also gsxr is faster than atom 300 and this shelby atom hhave 450 hp /tone zzr and gsxr around 550-600 ,atom need around 6 sec form 100 km/h up to 200 gsxr and zzr around 4.5 sec top speed atom 300 is around 260 km/h zzr and gsxr go 300 km/h
I own a Cobra and I drove the Atom. My Cobra is faster but since you can see the front wheels of the Atom, you can pretty much hit your apexes perfectly. Very easy to bump over the berms on turns.
Both cars are in 11 second 1/4 mile time , the atom is easy to drive. Similar performance in drag racing . The atom has bettter launch . Shelby will not compete in track with the atom will need heavy mods.
Are you kidding me ! The guy in the Cobra cant drive for sh*t....when not missing gears he is granny shifting at 4500 rpm ! What a joke ..someone should take this car from him ....what a waste of machinery!
@john ramsey I think you're completely wrong! The 429 would be so nose heavy,it wouldn't be funny! That 427W equipped cobra would outperform one with a 429 big time!

an arial atom thanks.it will snap ur head back. and its british which you americans dont like!!
These straight line pulls are BS. Take them to the track and compare lap times.
atom may be quicker but one looks like poetry in motion and the other looks like angry scaffolding 😂😂😂😂 Cobra ALL DAY LONG X
If you like losing of course
I´m a Honda guy but the Cobra sounds so amazing and the stile so nice.
i just love the sound of supercharger in atom
sounds like an angry bumblebee.
@@sherylellingson3538 Well put. It sounds ridiculous IMHO. To each his own...
Old as the AC Cobra is and it's still being benchmarked one of the coolest cars ever created👍🏿😎
427Cobra awesome still t this day!😎
Non driver in Cobra......wind up those RPMs on that cobra, quit changing gears so fast....
He was literarily red lining it😂 can you not hear it?
@@nathanelliott6770 heard him miss a gear. Red lining it, haha

@@nathanelliott6770 yes, it is funny. I had one and know exactly what im talking about...HAHAHAHA

Lmao..imagine how fast the Ariel atom v8 is!
cobra...forget who is quicke,r that cobra has pure class and style and still fast enough
Why music????
the cobra wins on noise output alone.
SHIFTING TO QUICK IN COBRA, SHOULD OF KEPT FOOT IN LONGER.
Both are very fast, but nothing beats the looks of an AC Cobra body.
whats with the blue oyster music?
I think at 1:40 into the video the Cobra driver realized he needed to shift a bit quicker that time. Actually a lot quicker.
You mean "braking", my Fords have no problems braking, my close to stock 03 Mustang pulls similar times as my M3 at NJMSP.
What's the redline on the Cobra, 4900 rpm ?
Don't know but if it was created by Carl Shelby then this thing is pretty high remember performance is his game
@@marlonelmorefreedomisoursn9744 the cobra is a Factory 5 kit car
shelby was designed as a track car 50 years ago, not against todays cars lol. That was the era where leaf springs were in every car not coils.
This is a modern kit car, not a 50 year old AC Cobra.
atom have probably even wors acceleration than around 6 from 100to 200 probably more accurate is around 7 sec
Would you really be thinking about girls if you were belting either one of those cars?
Gettin smoked by a 2 litre 4 banger aint something to bragg about..

@@mattortwein9932 most people don't realize it but the AC Cobra was rated as a supercar back in the days
I'd take the Cobra over the angry roach any day
You realize that's a kit car right?
i used to drag here back in highschool
How was it driving one of those man how I wish I could get my hands on one a factory five would do

I thought it looked like the cobra got him in the last pull.
Race car VS Go Cart, and the win goes to the GO Cart
I'd like to see a Kawasaki ZR-14R in this test, or a Hyabusa up against both these cars.
Cobra for me.
3.0 0- 60 mph for the atom and the v8 is 2.6.
Possum Heward actually supercharged atom is 2.8, V8 version is 2.2
but,and, if...ive heard all before. But never from the winners
really now lets turn corners and breaking
Both cars are in 11 second 1/4 mile time , the atom is easy to drive. Similar performance in drag racing . The atom has bettter launch . Shelby will not compete in track with the atom will need heavy mods.
you're guessing, aren't you?
An Ariel Atom is a street legal Formula One Car. The modernized AC Cobra Kit wouldn't stay close enough to see it's tail lights in the straights.
Great Cobra
yay go ford!!!! thats a sc k20 in the atom right???? theres no replacement for displacement. and dont bullshit cause this video proves it!!!!
You could set the Shelby on fire and I still would pick the Shelby. I would be embarrassed to be seen riding in that nightmare.
Well, you wouldn't have to be worried about being seen in the winners circle for sure.
Are you kidding me ! The guy in the Cobra cant drive for sh*t....when not missing gears he is granny shifting at 4500 rpm ! What a joke ..someone should take this car from him ....what a waste of machinery!
sorry but the m3 is a better track car at least in stock mode
I remember when this song came out. No, wait, no I don't. Sorry.
I'm sorry but somthing that sounds like a pissed of humming bird will never compete with the Shelby
That's true, it would run in a much faster class than the Shelby.
That's called the super charger whine and it would make the same noise on any engine, including a V8.
Lets remember how Shelby saved Fords Ass xD regardless Shelby was going to make something of his name !!!Ford got Lucky not Shelby...
Let's also remember that nobody wanted to give Shelby engines except for Ford
@Justin Jehoshaphat were you including yourself when you posted that comment? LOL
They raced the wrong car!!! The Ford GT would have blown it away!!!
lol
The Ford has twice the horsepower and still can't whoop him.
HP to weight ratio wins the races!
Put someone in the cobra that knows how to race & see if the outcome is the same!
Yep, still the same@@Mike583
Uh huh put in a 429scj in the cobra and then watch the cobra poop on the atom thats a 427w smallbock stroker those are lame
The 427 SOHC was the most powerful big block Ford built by far. The 429SCJ wouldn't even make a good boat anchor.
@john ramsey I think you're completely wrong! The 429 would be so nose heavy,it wouldn't be funny! That 427W equipped cobra would outperform one with a 429 big time!
OK first this is an ENGLISH car SHELBY is nothing never was just like ford
