I have 600 in a similar car (GD 427 Cobra) and it can spin out its tyre even at highway speed. The biggest issue with this Kirkham Cobra is not just the horsepower but the engine weight, which is huge and the most weight on the front tyre. I had 50-50 percent weight distribution but it can be still hairy sometimes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W-c0QDV0PKc.html (I had only 400 whp when this video made)

@accobra383
@accobra383 3 месяца назад
Yes, Kirkham made a deal with the old MIG factory in Poland for them to handcraft the bodies as AC formerly did in the UK. The Kirkham kit is the best on the market and if correctly built would be indistinguisable from an original unless you were an expert. A beautiful car, nice guys, but their knowledge on Cobras does seem a little limited. Incidently, Carol Shelby always wanted to use fibre glass bodies (as in the Corvettes of the time) to gain an even better weight advantage, but Ford would never condone it. I'm currently running a 427 with in excess of 600bhp, it's a huge handful, God knows what 1000bhp in such a light car is like. 😎

This Cobra originally was built as a one-off by Carroll Shelby with a FoMoCo FE-block 427-cube V8 modified with two Paxton superchargers that made 600+ bhp. A second example was built for Bill Cosby!
@johnny427
@johnny427 Год назад
The original Cobra was the AC. The first one "Shelby" cobras were 289-ers, later he made some 427, but generally the 289 was a better car. He made two supercherged too, one of them killed its owner. It had 800 hp. (I have a "Gardner-Douglas" 427 Cobra with 600Hp which is way more than enough, and the GD has way-way better handling behavior than the original ones had)

@@seasterl My pleasure. me too. I have a local builder here who does Ferrari engines in American cars. His first build is the Corruptt Mustang.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-32aoGVoYSxY.html I also have a video of his at at SEMA ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GEc4-ipzyCE.html I watched this build from literally the ground up. Crazy stuff. Thanks for watching.

It looks nice. But I question the logic of creating something that will be extremely difficult to fix dings and dents. And unless you make it a static museum display it will get dings on the road.

If you have the money to bulld such a car you don't really worry about some dings and dents. He really doesn't drive it that much but when he does he goes like hell. He has several other cars and trucks all of which he drives. He believes that if you have a car, drive it as it should be driven. Cheers! 👍😎

Because he found two of these engines and his son suggested he build his car around one. Also, because he owns the only two in existence, no one else can copy his car. He isn't arrogant at all either. He just likes to have one off stuff because he can. We routinely hang out at his hangar where he stores some other muscle cars, rare trucks and a boat or two. He is a former aerospace engineer who found a different niche and path.
