Newer cars may now be faster and more comfortable, but they will never have the soul of a classic.

@susang6149 8 лет назад

that doesnt mean anything... racing slicks on the ac cobra would change the race. plus the ac is naturally aspirated. its comparing two different things

@shanehuff3372 8 лет назад

+Su Sang yes it does the cobra was never sold with a turbo, super charger ext! They are stock cars, slicks won't pick up a full second on the track and if it did it would still lose.. Since we are comparing them look at the power to weight ratio, the mustang weighs twice as much as the cobra..

@34Floaty 8 лет назад

The original super snake had the shelby body but 800 hp engine. I believe only 2 were made unfortunately.

@kurtmardis2244 7 лет назад

I agree RomVlad. I had a 2014 Mustang GT that I bought new, had it for 2 years and got bored with it. Traded it on a 2013 Shelby GT500. As insane as that was it was still boring to me. Too refined. Too luxurious. Fun to drive and take to car shows but was lacking the "soul" that you speak of. It was just another late model car.

@omarcavazos4239 6 лет назад

Kurt Mardis I think otherwise the 2013 gt 500 is great combination of retro and modern. The knob shifter is right on the money. The luxurious things like the Microsoft sync navigation are optional so it's up to you. Overall, that 5.8 662 hp v8 is definitely not boring since it is the last model Shelby himself had input on. Also it depends on the color of the car the metallic colors tend to be more attractive like the sterling gray metallic and ruby red.

@nicetna2010 9 лет назад

Listening to that 427 Cobra torquing through the gears as it sliced through the turns gave me goosebumps. The 427 Cobra is the essence of a race car - no frills, no fancy luxuries, just pure power glued to the road. No turbo or supercharger necessary, just brute power - right now. Don't get me wrong, I really, really like the Super Snake but that 427 Cobra is a mean s.o.b.

6,500 RPM on any of the forged twin cam engines is a major shortshift.I pulled my Whippled Terminator to 7,000rpm and the HP curve never flattened out(still climbing).You have to dyno them past the HP peak to realize how much they make ,and at what rpm.I see these cars regularly shifting at 6,500 on UTube vids.Hell, a long stroke 427 can match those numbers at peak power.Starting to see some 8,000rpm Coyotes out there lately,and in a race,that's where a twin cam should be for top performance.

They probably ran road course tires on the cobra so as not to damage the drivetrain if it got too much traction. Shame.. I believe it would have won the quarter mile easily as it still holds the record for 0-100-0 and I believe they figured back then it was a high 10, low 11 sec car with traction.

@Sahadi420 9 лет назад

***** and 1500lb less weight. Creature comforts add weight. Charlie Dee is a moron. The 427 Cobra is nothing but a race car, hence the low weight....and the slightly faster track time (and the need for a pillow behind the drivers back LOL). Do the math, the 427 is about 1hp per 4.47 lbs......while the super snake is 1hp per 5.26 lbs. Considering all the extra stuff the super snake has, and it's extra weight, it did damn well.

It's been 6+ years since this video was posted, yet the first time I viewed it. I'd have liked to see them compare the 1966 Cobra 427 Super Snake against the 2011 Super Snake. Now that would have been interesting. lol

Classic for me any day. For a car built that long ago to still be able to compete with a new super car today is really saying something.

Dang! I didn't think the cobra had 550hp for that time out of a 427 I thought maybe in the low to mid 300 range. Learn something new everyday!

I saw like if something explodes under the tire at 0:47, what was that?

Can you tell me exactly what kind of Cobra this is? I'm extremely interested in purchasing one and I want to know if this is the CSX4000 or CSX6000

Both are fantastic cars in relation to the eras they were introduced...just amazing...the thing I noticed was how weights have changed...the original was a waif like 2450 lbs...and the new one almost 4,000....you would think modern cars would be lighter not heavier...

I WANT THE SUPER SNAKE. I want it white with the black stripe through the center, do they make that? I cant find Super Snake anywhere online, just the regular shelby gt500's.

Now that you mention it, I do seem to remember either reading about those or possibly seeing one when I was a youngster. I remember seeing a cobra that didn't quite look right.
