Love Superformance, some fine South African engineering. My friend used to daily-drive his. SA also has CAV GT, building just about the best GT40 replica in the world right now, out of Cape Town.
You must of really enjoyed it on those nice smooth TN roads, i had one few years back it doesnt cope with the NYC busted roads well but when i leave and head south im gonna get another one they are so raw and best bang for buck thrills
Yeah the roads where quite good in Carthage, at least where we shot it. Definitely helps in a car like this, and totally agree this car creates an incredible experience for lets be real not a lot of money.
Great video. I absolutely love this car. Thank you for treating us to such a sublime experience. One thing I'd like to add to the replica argument: if it's built by Shelby themselves (CSX and CCX models) or by Superformance, and it's built to genuine original spec, I personally do not consider these replicas. They don't cost above a million because those that do are the ones carrying the history and heritage with them; they were raced back in the 60's by famous figures and they were the very cars used to win big races. That's basically much of what you're paying for, and you cannot clock many modern miles on them because that would tarnish that value. That's why the CSX, CCX, and Superformance models that are built to original spec are the way to go to really enjoy this car, as-is, minus the burden of heritage.
Great video. I'm ordering my cobra straight from Superformance from a dealer in Houston named "Maximum G" I love cobras. They are my favorite car along with The Jeep Wrangler and Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead
Congratulations, once the garage is done I’m buying one too. For certain vibes and sunny spring/fall days, this car would be very hard to beat. Just a small piece of American automotive history never to be repeated.
Before you dismiss “kit” cars as junk perhaps you should visit Factory Five and actually see what they have to offer. A kit car is indeed at the mercy of the person building it as to final fit and finish, but Factory Five provides an excellent tubular chassis, uses Wilwood brakes, offers Blue Print and Ford Racing motors as shell as Tremec transmissions, Ford 8.8 live axle (assembled by Moser) or Mustang IRS differentials, Koni dual adjustable shocks, and other top quality products as part of their kits. They also have a list of top quality “preferred builders” if you don’t want to assemble the car yourself. I wouldn’t turn a Superformance or Backdraft Cobra down, but a Factory Five can look and perform equally to those more expensive options.
I own both a Superformance and a Factory Five. Both have shoulder harnesses. I can't believe someone would feel safe in these cars with the lap belt only!
@@Driven-Productions A great video would be a shootout: Superformance vs. Factory Five. No one has ever done this before, and I know because I'm always looking. One "king of the hill" vs. another "king of the hill" but in their respective playing fields. Again, owning both, I can say they are both beasts, but I'd say the Superformance is a quality, livable Cobra, and the Factory Five is a butt-hurting race car. The Superformance is 80% street and 20% track, and the Factory Five is the other way around. But then again, I built my Factory Five that way on purpose, and it's for that reason I bought the Superformance. It's easier to live with.
How about registering and inspection in the state of nj, do they meet requirements or do they fall under a different set of rules or class of automobile?
The Incredibly stupid looking, oversized clown shoe rims, and rubber band tires completely RUIN the race look of that iconic car. Would be like adding a hip hop beat to Hotel California or Stairway To Heaven. I smh to the level of ignorance.
