Excellent..sounds just right. I currently own a 1965 RT4 backdraft shelby cobra with a 427 as well and sounds almost identical. Raw power that will distroy anything on the road. Super video and fabulous gear up and down shifting. Also a great road picked to put the cobra through the paces..😎👍👌🍻
Yeah, I can confirm it’s good fun. But one tends to drive rarely more than 50 miles in one stroke …as it can get a bit exhausting over time. But nevertheless…a rewarding drive 👍🏼
My 98 convertible mustang, got loud like this with the right exhaust and muffler setup. Getting flashbacks! Love the sound of this car too! Will be watching for long time. Fuck the chit chat just pure sound!
" awesome sound " also i owned 302 cu inch cobra replica " muffler selected was between quite and loud " just right throaty sounds " put 100 octane fuel in " sounded " like a supercar !" ( on motorway kept at 2000rpm powerband sounded best " with thumbs up" from other cars !
At 0:17 , that bouncing speedo needle is a sign of a kinked speedo cable, the installed radius being "too sharp"....the inner cable is rubbing on the inside sheath & this "bouncing" will get worse & worse over time. This requires the cable being replaced with a longer version, the cable being rerouted so as to not make sharp bends, but rather large gentle sweeping bends.
I would love to own a cobra but at 77 years of age I maybe am too old and what would the insurance costs if I could ever find an insurance company that would cover me
It's a mechanical speedometer. Uses a cable and gear at each end. The backlash or any play in the tailshaft bushings in the transmission will cause the needle to bounce. It's a pretty normal thing to see with mechanical speedometers.
@@dannyhughes8187Dude, he's talking about the tach to the right of drivers right hand, its the speedo, mechanical gear driven. Tach is center of the steering wheel 😮😮😮
You don't see a lot of these cars doing track days. Incredibly difficult to drive quickly in the bends. Squirting down back roads in straight lines is probably the best bet?
If that's a genuine Cobra, it'll stick to the pavement like velcro. Really no need to let off the throttle so much in those mild curves in the video. The public is just used to the squishy comfy suspension on the regular production vehicles we drive. A real race ready vehicle would be objectionable to most drivers because of the harsh suspension. Not made for passenger comfort, but to make the vehicle stick to the road

@@jimjones9740 I own three. And a Space-rocket.
GD>> Backdraft
@@solitudeguard5688 GD ?
Nice to cruise with you. I have a 427 cobra not far off being back on the road. Cant wait to do what your doing.
PLEASE DO MORE RIDE ALONGS WITH THE COBRA I REALLY ENJOY IT!!!
Thank for the ride. I've never been in a Cobra before. Badass car!

The amount people are concerned about a speedometer cable is mind boggling. Car looks fun.
What a beautiful sound .
I love watching the speedo needle bouncing up and down.
Officer "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Me "Sure, between 60 and 120"
🤣🤣🤣
its good to here the 427fe once in a wile to keep once mind right,,

Sensory overload, it makes you feel alive and at one with the car.
Ah that lovely torque! Many thanks!
i could not be any greener with envy
Wonderful car and sound! What's the engine build, trans and rear-end gearing? Thanks!

Great drive out an very good gear changing! That's a proper loud pedal, this could be used for councilling for electric car owners?
Best to all.
This is what dreams are made of

DANGEROUS VEMONUS COBRA! SHE SOUNDS GOOD WHAT MOTOR ARE YOU RUNING?
427 roush

Very nice, are those SF pipes?
Blimey you can tell it just wants to go
That was fun.
Great video - fabulous car! But is it too much to expect for a car that cost this much to have a speedometer that works?
Is that a real/original Cobra or a kit? Either way it sounds phenomenal!
It's neither, Superformance are factory built recreations, made to the highest standards and are very expensive.
@@jjefferyworboys8138Around 60k-$100k which is totally a fair price for such a beauty.
Is there a reason the needle on the speedo bounces around so much? It seems very sensitive

You talking about the big one in the middle. ?? That would be the tachometer 😮
@@dannyhughes8187Dude, he's talking about the tach to the right of drivers right hand, its the speedo, mechanical gear driven. Tach is center of the steering wheel 😮😮😮
@@raidersrideordie no shit,. It's liquid filed. Take another look. Smartass.
Used to deal with this a lot on older cars. Lubing or replacing the speedo cable would usually fix it.

Nice driving, GRANDPA !
You've just lost your
man card !
Awesome
going off that road is a death sentence
Either you accelerate or you brake. Ciasting is foe whimps.

Back roads maybe, the forest from Wizard of Oz no.
What tuning are you using on the cobra?? please let me drive it!! i want to make my ex jealous!
Great ride but time for a new speedometer…the current one is bouncing all over the place!
I’ve never seen a speedometer bounce like that before. How the heck are you suppose to know how fast you’re going ? 😂
Needs a new cable…
You can pull the cable out of its cover and lube it. But yeah, that is looking bad.@@stevoschannel4127
Padu 😊
5:14
Test drive!😮😮😮😮😮😊
Then it is not in England 🏴 cause the left side steer wheel
What’s with the speedo bouncing all over the place?
Speedometer cable either needs some lube or needs to be replaced. That said, a speedo is pretty useless, should just drive by the tach.
What #
BOUNCY SPEEDO
Que se dedique a conducir en círculo o acelerar en línea recta que no sabe otra cosa 😅😅😅😅😅
Sound is total distortion. Trash that speedo. It bounces too much.
Oh please Santa may I have one for Christmas. I've been a very good boy! Pretty please Santa. 🙏
How much this car would cost if we were to order one today?
Superformance Cobra MKIII starts at $79,900 but most are usually specced at around $85K-$90K.
More than 100k after the engine and trans .
