Factory Five Cobra Dart 427 Evening cruise 

I know the feeling my friend 🤬🤣

Your taste is the same as mine...I truly love all these cars from the bottom of my heart and the history behind these cars is truly amazing...I'll add the Shelby Daytona to the list cuz it's a beautiful beast car that not a lot of ppl know about.

Nothing better than side pipes in your ear.... a drive in a Cobra is just good for the soul.

Thank you, your going to really enjoy it! By far the most fun car I have ever owned. Enjoy the build!

Women like a nice snake.

Thanks for the tip, was not aware of that being a problem.

@@Travis8126 You're a lucky guy to be driving that car, happy motoring.

@@Travis8126 Tony is correct, let it go between shifts

If he puts 10,000 miles on that car in the next decade I'd be amazed. He can rest his hand on the shifter all he wants.

@@caseybrannon4975 you’d be surprised a lot of us with factory five cobras put crazy miles on them. Something about building your own car makes you less afraid to beat it

Bob, I built this car for a fun weekend cruise around fun car. Take it to some shows, cars and coffees, 2-3 hour drives with other Cobra owners and wanted it badged with the 427. I am a pushrod guy, old school grunt, sound and feel. You just cant beat the sound of them! No regrets up to this point going with a 427 so far it has been running good (knock on wood). Really like having EFI set up. Do you need 520 HP? No, not at all...347 would probably be plenty of go juice in a 2400 lb car. If I was going to build a car to heavily track, drive across the country and beat the crap out of I would have gone with a Coyote they are great engines and extremely reliable. Just don't care how they look in the car, sound and idle...look like they belong in a Mustang GT to me... did not fit my build vision in this car. That is totally my opinion, everyone does there own thing on what engine works for them. Lots of different options out there. Ken pike is great, you won't go wrong with him. Good luck on your build!

I'm sure you know what's best for you but it would be my opinion that you don't need that kind of negativity in your life. LOL

Dump her. Get new vehicle. They all come with an airbag.

I would think you would gain with EFI rather than loose but I can't confirm that. Maybe someone else here would be able to help you on that question. I know with EFI I turn the key and it fires right up, no exhaust fumes to smell and fuel economy seems pretty decent for a 520 HP engine.

Sharif, I picked them up from Amazon they are basic stainless marine cup holders. They do require a small O-ring to lift them up to clear the TKO600 trans (in location I mounted them).

Not that I am aware of, just personal preference for me to have it mounted on the windshield frame

I am running the touring pipes, not sure on specs you would have to visit there website.

Thank you for the reply, Travis. This will help me make a decision.

Engine was built by Elliott Franklin - Mustang Corral in Grass Valley, CA. Dart SHP block, 520 HP.

Thank you, driving a Cobra is a unique experience. Best way I can describe it is a raw sock you in the gut feeling, no ABS, traction control, etc... a throwback to 1965 and what Carol Shelby created. Definitely hard to ever get tired of the side pipe tone and 500+ HP engine in your ear and the power available on your right foot. If you are in the Sacramento area I would take you out for a drive anytime.

@@Travis8126 thank you for the offer...long drive from Va....thank you for the response....I believe there is a cobra club here in the Washington DC area...I will do some research ....

Never had an issue, I think the sun visors help deflect some wind upward :-)

@@Travis8126 Your going to slow 😉

A big meat head helps of course

My wife does not like talking to me much anyway, we just smile at each other :-). Actually the IRS cars ride a little better but they are definitely not for everyone.
