Having only just recovered from my drive of the Superformance GT40 and was given the key to another iconic car from the film Le Mans 66, the MkIII Cobra. Although in the film they used MkII Cobras and this is the MkIII it was great to have the connection with the GT40.
This car is sanctioned by Carroll Shelby himself and is a modern restomod of the classic Cobra, powered by the modern Ford Coyote 5.0L V8 and is quite simply the best sounding car I have ever driven.

Thats awesome, it makes a noise the Germans and Italians can only dream of.

@stephen300o6 3 года назад

It makes a sound like a muscle car, because that is what the engine is. Nothing exotic, just rumble. Not that rumble can't sound ok.

@jasonyoung6420 2 года назад

cross-plane vs. flat-plane - as a very much, red blooded American, I appreciate both, but vintage muscle has a home in my heart as that's what I grew up with.

I've owned over 70 cars and one of my favorites, out of all of them, was my 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Mk 2 with the triple carb setup (one year only), white with black coves, red interior, black soft top, black hardtop, silver wire wheels .... lovely car. Drove it for three years while I flew jets for the RCAF, then took it back to Montreal where it proved impractical for the harsh Quebec winters. Sold it to someone in the states. Still loved owning it for five years.

@kcstott 2 года назад

@@jase6370 Yeah Carrol Shelby took a base model and had his team modify the hell out of it. but far from an "American made" race car. He had a simple formula for winning. 1. find the lightest car you can find. 2. find the biggest engine that will still fit. then figure out how to stop.

@stewartw.9151 3 года назад

I built my Cobra replica between 1988 -1992 and drove it as my daily driver until selling it in 2002. Wonderful experience and even with a slightly warmed up Windsor 302 producing maybe 320 hp and a Borg-Warner T5 transmission there was plenty of vooma to play with! It was totally tractable around town as well but fuel consumption was impressively high! 18 litres per 100 kms around town, 25 ltrs/100kms open road cruising at 3500rpm/180 kph on one trip of 300+ miles between Johannesburg and Margate!

@cameronpoole 2 года назад

@stewartw.9151 2 года назад

@@cameronpoole Mainly because I needed to raise money for a business venture.However that was not as successful as hoped, so ultimately it was not such a good move at all! On balance I would rather still have the car sitting in my garage at home!

What a car! That soundtrack is epic! Will never forget being overtaken by a Cobra just outside Warminster many, many years ago - big long stream of cars and it went past the lot!

@PetrolPed 3 года назад

It sure sounded awesome 👍

@robbalex1963 3 года назад

my sentiments exactly .

@johnosullivan2017 3 года назад

US V8s have cross plane cranks, necessitating an asymmetric firing order, which creates the "burble". Flat plane V8s (Ferrari, M3 4.0 V8) have a symmetric firing order, so can rev higher, but don't burble. Cross plane V8s are lower revving but more torquey, because a cylinder fires every 90 degrees of crank turn, rather than every 180 degrees of crank turn for a flat plane. Merc V8s are cross plane, which is why C63s sound fabulous, and why they are the closest European V8 to US muscle.

@@johnosullivan2017 Thanks for the info. I currently own a cls55 AMG with the super charged 5.5 M113k pre 6.3ltr. probably a different sound to the 6.3 but deemed a bit more reliable for the price bracket I could afford anyway. You are right in saying they are European muscle cars but the the American V8s are still the best. Any V8 is better than no V8 though.

Hi Ped WOW👏👏👏What a wonderful soundtrack.Always loved the Cobra and still do. My one enduring memory in connection with this car was marshalling at Silverstone Classic a few years ago. My brief was or organise a collection of Cobras prior to them going out on a parade round the circuit. The lead car was driven by Jack Sears, and I had the honour and pleasure talking to him for for 15-20 minutes. At the allotted time I gave the signal “Gentlemen Start Your Engines”. Some 40 plus Cobras went past me two abreast each side of me. I will always remember that sound🥰

Nice video Pete, reminds me of my old replica Cobra I bought in 2012 and ran it for about 4 years and sold it for what I paid for it. As near to free motoring as you could get save the fuel. Every drive was an event, even just to fill it up which back then cost near £100 but the looks, sound, questions from other motorists etc. However, it was not a practical car by any means, a fair weather only driver. Still miss it and when I see others on the road I always think one day I will have another.

Having built three Cobra Replicas I can confirm that they are indeed addictive and the best fun to be had on four wheels. Apart from in the rain. For the best sound you also need underslung exhausts not sidepipes.

@activecarwashsupplies9320 3 года назад

@@PetrolPed Straight pipes down from manifolds, balance pipe just after gearbox, with very small silencers just before pipes exit under rear wings. Almost silent when tickling along, starts making the lovely warbly V8 sounds from 2000 revs, and really howls when opened up. Dropping a gear or two and mashing the throttle in tunnels is just sublime. Thats using modern V8's like BMW or Lexus. The Coyote engine would be similar.

@frankieboy302 3 года назад

I drove a Dax Cobra down to the south of France in one hit and I can tell you that with sidepipes you get the sound bouncing back off the armco so much it will drive you crazy! Not only that, but because you mainly hear one side of the engine, it never sounds like it's running right......

I went for a job at Brian Angliss Autokraft, will always remember the day even though it was over 30 years ago, I had gone to heaven. 427COB, a genuine 427 Cobra was there, as well as a couple of continuation 427 S/C. He also had a couple of Rolls Royce Silver Clouds 4 doors being converted to 2 door convertibles and a Daytona that had been converted to a convertible .

I bet he had to really twist your arm!!! 😁😁🏁I'm glad you were there petrol ped, I bet nobody watching this video would like to be a test driver for this car! It's a dirty job but someone has to do it! 😁Keep up the great work! I especially enjoyed the classic monte carlo mini video as I'm a mini fan, also a cortina mk1 fan, so if you get the chance. 👍👍🏁🏁🚗🚗🇬🇧🇬🇧

I have just watched the car chase in Bullitt and your Cobra sounds identical, you could have substituted your soundtrack for theirs, fantastic!

Awesome 👏

She is loud, but looks like the best exhaust set up to suit a Cobra!!! It,s not for shopping in Peter you would get no peace from people who would want to know everything and with your business you wouldn’t,t have the time, so just enjoy these exotics when you can and we will carry on watching you👍👍👍🚘🚘🚘

This video was so enjoyable. Now I have to figure out how to get that sound out of my MX5!

Can a Coyote V8 fit in an MX5 🤔😜😂

@stevecade857 3 года назад

Trade it in for a SLK55?

Awesome car, no compromises, saw one in front of Costco in Santa Maria, CA....leaves that kind of memory, you remember exactly when and where. Nab the Coyote from the new Mustang Mach 1 with the Tremec from the GT350. I know I am supposed to like the Voodoo, but the Coyote is also special (cross vs flat). An NA V8 is a great sound.
