THIS 1965 SHELBY COBRA IS FASTER THAN A LAMBORGHINI 

Brakes!

😂😂

You forgot to mention it's rear wheel drive without traction control lol

@@StarCoreSE Traction control? That's your right foot! Oh you must drive a mustang

I have to admit when driving anything with similar safety concerns it changes the way you'll push it, especially if you've rolled before. Even I'm the best of situations being at the track it is an enlightening experience if its the real deal, roll not tip or tumble dry. Funny thing is I've driven an original iconic Lancia, the car they won with in '83 though this one was built as a modification a few years later but everything was indeed accurate if you get what I'm saying by the main topic lol. When driving that car I had no problem tossing it about and feeling that absolute zen, hitting a transition on dirt on an s curve and it feels like a dance, that you won't get in AWD of today's rally competition. But ya anyway regardless of the assurance of death if she goes over it was present like it was in an open top of a similar setup and it all comes down to perception even when you KNOW it's a false security.

Ya but 0-60 in 1 sec it self is cool

@@slxmmed5696 maybe because the Carol Shelby himself made this car for that

Tesla's are for guys with gender identity problems

I want one of each please Santa

@@earlyculyer4103 roadster 2.0 has entered the chat "am i a joke to you?"

charlie dee hey Charlie what an amazing experience you had! I would love to have met Shelby. As you probably know, he also helped create the prototype Sunbeam Tiger ( I am restoring a ‘67 Tiger) and legend has it he wanted to drop a SBC in an Austin Healey (he drove for Donald Healey) . I had a 327 ‘vette powered AH3000...wicked fun....never lost a race :)

No Viper ever came close to matching that performance - way too heavy compared to the Cobra, same problem the Vette had!

@@Loulovesspeed Actually it did, 0-100-0 in 13 seconds. Same as the Cobra.

Until they realize it’s a replica and not the real thing...

@@Tywild327 then they realize that there is 1 cobra left so you cant really buy a real one

The ABSOLUTE TRUTH, NO LESS.... And as events took place This car WAS offered to chepp-bro-lay originally for the SMALL crock. It was taken by Duntov as a threat to the vette as a competitor. Lee Iacoca at Ford gave the nod. And the rest, as they say, is His-story. Sounds WAY BWMETTER THAN ANY VETTE WAY BETTER!!!

@@Tywild327 I would be fine with a replica that I could drive on the street.

@@Tywild327 even the people that don't know the Cobra will point their thumbs to the sky to be completely honest. It doesn't matter whether it is a replica or not.

Sound made my heart beating faster! Sounds like Spitfire, awsome!!!

Just a pity ya can still hear his god awful voice 😢

facts this thing is crazy

it must of been like 2000hp back then

There were powerfull cars back in 1908, look at this vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ks2e_pjasQ.html

Yeah---the 60's were pretty cool😎

Aluminum engines were not built 55 years ago. This is a replica if you watched the video.

Dönald Trümp 👌🏻

Exactly. If engines had wheels....this would be the leader of the pack!

😂🤣😂🤣👊😂👌

Yes it does, a very small and light body 😉👍🇺🇸

@@beetleything1864 nobody asked

Yup. The C-7 and C-8s's exhaust sounds like a kazoo compared to the Cobra.

noooo electric is better!

Those 60s ford engines just have the best sound with the right exhaust

Mr Shelby truly love cars, engines, performance, and racing. He also new and understood what was "actually" needed to do the job! he did this by keeping it simple, strong, and reliable without all the uneeded junk or flashy stuff!! this car was blended with style and down right power! His genius and all the oyhers that worked on this design will forever be missed and respected till the end of time for such an iconic car!! sorry for the ramble but this is one of my favorites cars!! oh and the blue just makes that car pop too!!

Thank you sir.

Nah thats literally a motorcycle.

@@Nick-sx6jm motorcycle doesn't have 7 litre engine

@@pharaongaming8617 ya but bikes have a insane power to weight ratio even a 600CC CBR from the 90s is fast!

@@pharaongaming8617 No but they can sound just as good or better and are faster.

Yup they are!!! I love mine every time I go out in it!!

HA!! you got it

With a C-6 automatic transmission.

jbuckshot01 ironically there were two. One was for Bill Cosby, but Cosby’s is a, wait for it....sleeper.

@@rms-vp6hf ahh like what u did there.. Seriously after Bill Cosby sold it, the new owner was killed in it.

JAYSUS!!!

Both had identical engines pumping out 850 hp.

@@rms-vp6hf Cosby drove the car,scared the shit out of him,took it back to Mr. Shelby & said, thanks but no thanks!LMAO

Max Yeep

I would like it

You already roared!

yes... i want vlogs

I'm thinking a sort of weird hybrid between Doug and Tim (Shmee150)

Noooo its NOT

It has dual healights. No. He's amazed of how it handles, well duh, it's a race car that beats Ferraries. How did he expect it to handle. The reason the shifter is angled because the engine is that far back the shifter would be to far back. JD

Why do you repeat what someone else said with the word duh after it...

Whats with the duh, Duh?

Not necessarily a V8, just a huge engine. If the cobra existed recently it would have a V10. Oh wait it did, it's called the Dodge Viper.

HUMMUH SMIFF not even close. Not even in the same league. More like the Koniseg.

Street Hemi 425 stock hp

As I replied to someone else, SAE gross or net. It was the 60s so you can bet it was gross

Racing Cobras made much more than that. 485-525 were recorded by valid testing.

especially at weight of around 2300-2500 lbs.

@@mikebtrfld1705 but was put in a car that weighed 1000+ more pounds. Plus, Carroll was as much about suspension as the power. It don't matter how much power if you can't put it where you want it. Those hemis had power and torque, but Mopar couldn't do road courses at the time.

Is that the black one Jay Leno featured on his show? He said it was saved from the wildfires.

@@TJ-qz6hr oh yeah I remember that one it probably is

Oh , so you know a guy that owns a 2.5 million dollar original 427 Cobra ??????

@@johnmarshall4442 theyre not 2.5 million lol, its obviously going to be a replica, 427's are still rare but only fetch around £70k

@@charliehouldsworth8317 the real ones are 2.5 million dollars

yeah. because that's exactly the reason for buying a car.

Kit or original?

Kit of course, who could afford an original. Its a 2001 Lone Star built in TX. 8500 original miles, 1 owner.

@@garyhaber333 oh nice. I've been looking to buy a kit to build but I'm having trouble finding anywhere to get one for a reasonable price.

But just with any used car, ive been having bugs. Thankful i have a local mechanic that is not to expensive when i have major issues, and ive had a few of those since i bought it back in December.

Shelby Cobra except it’s a replica built by a company based in South Africa.

You said that like there are just tons of cobras out there

stubones Yeah I know it’s a replica, but it’s still cool! I went to Las Vegas a while back ago and got to see the original Cobras.

222222e Yeah! Don’t think there are that many Bugatti’s and Koenigsegg’s out there either! 🤣

It’s not his, he borrowed it

Ikr lol

Pretty sad

BASITH PH lol

Yeah... Americans and their kit-cars. Always claiming to be as good as Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but never actually getting close.

@@janusha2253 I would much rather own the kit car then a lambo or ferrari

@JV Performance N20/N26/N55 it still is considered a classic car

@@evanthomas9656 Id wouldnt consider it a classic its a reproduction model so i call the reproduction models psuedo classic car.

@F25 X3 still has the original engine

@BMW F25 X3 R Spec Did you even watch the vid? He literally said it is worth 160K in full and is an officially licensed continuation car. But then again, you only caring about a Cobra's value shows what kind of person you are and I can happily deduct that this car isn't meant for you.

@BMW F25 X3 R Spec Wow you didn’t read my comment properly either... It is a licensed continuation car, do you understand this?

my uncle has a Shelby roadster its a kit car white with two racing stripes 428 cobra engine and 4 speed love the hard shift while driving and go from 1st to 2nd hp and the shift throws you to the back of the seat

I chose a tasteful plaid myself.

Pictures!

Sounds awesomely scary

I hate you! cheers mate.

Ahh can relate..

Sure does!!

@ken sheldon - That's a great memory, Ken! I knew a guy in my town in Simsbury, Connecticut that bought one of the last 427 street Cobras. I talked to him about it every chance I got. I remember asking him if he got a lot of taunts by Corvettes at stop signs or red lights. He just said, "Naw, I thought I would, but it had already made quite a name for itself and they would simply nod, or even give me a thumbs up."

Reversed top loader shifter.

thank you for the correct info!

Did you know the Top Loader has no syncros? Did you see the weenie double-clutching???

It is a mustang shifter reversed for it to work being the car has no drive shaft, the transmission is bolted straight to the rear end!!!

@@edwardbazydlo5896 Nope, the reason it was reversed was purely due to it's length and the setback mounting of the 427. There was still a driveshaft, though it was a very short one - maybe 3 feet. The Cheetah was the racer with no drive shaft at all.

DUDE THATS ALSO MY DREAM CARRRRR!!!!!

Agreed. It would generate a lot of new content and attract a different audience as well.

He definitely should have some muscle in his garage

Them classics are sloowww, better get the new gems because they damn put up a fight.

@@tony_5156 old American cars are focused on engine size and noise not speed

Yes, the 289 was better handling for sure, and more predictable under power. That would be my choice, but it would need the 4 weber carb setup and close to 400 hp for the best thrills!

Sadly its very hard to find an original but there are a lot of people that do replica bodies for cheap

@Marc Parisi - The racing Cobras had shoulder harnesses too.

Well, it's kinda humane. Surviving a wreck and not being painfully debilitated forever wasn't likely, better to not live through it.

Factory5 blows this out of the water .... 20 k

If you had got to drive it, it would still bring a smile to your face. You should call him and ask.

@@JNeff99 hey you know what.. next time i see him at the supper club i’m going to bring it up, maybe this summer.

In a British car, nonetheless

We don’t care

Sergio Di Stefano -it should be. It and the gt40 used to kick the shit out of Ferraris. (I'm kind of sorry I said that but I'm American and I just couldn't help myself. Peace offering??? )

@@chriswilliams2305 If I'm not mistaken, the 427 Cobras kept breaking a lot of parts. It was the fabulous GT40's that kicked all there asses for like 3 years in a row!❤

@OctoMan PC's - Still, way below the highest price paid at auction for an American car - $22,000,000 in 2018 for a 1935 Duesenberg SSJ - one of only two built, at Gooding & Co Pebble Beach Auction. It remains the highest price for any American car sold at auction.

@@Loulovesspeed nah, NART Ferrari. 23 mill

@@stoveguy2133 As I said, but you evidently missed, the highest price at auction for an AMERICAN car is the '35 SSJ Duesenberg once owned by the great actor, Gary Cooper. Powered by a 420 cu. in. DOHC, 32 valve carbureted and supercharged straight 8, it put out 400 HP. It was the fastest pre WWII production road car in the world. It would outrun an Aston Martin DB5 and a Mercedes Gullwing, which were made 20 years later! It also could reach 60 mph quicker than a late 70s Ferrari 308 GTB. One of 2 built, the other one was loaned to another world famous actor, Clark Gable by Duesenberg. Its top speed was somewhere between 135 and 140 mph. No other road car on the planet could come even close to that, and it only had a 3 speed standard trans! Eat your heart out Mercedes Benz! Lol

@@Loulovesspeed 📛🤔 I don't know dude....... There MUST be a reason we don't see ANY 1976 - 1978 AMC Pacers for sale at Mecum or Barrett-Jackson...... It's MY theory that they don't even try to sell AMC Pacers, because due to their ultra-coolness, they'd just be too damn expensive for ANYONE to afford! 👉 Now, imagine the riots that would occur at Barrett-Jackson if they were to dare putting the most sought after performance car ever(a 1976 AMC Matador) up for auction, and only 1 person could walk away with it..... The world's top auto collectors would be fighting each other with knives and bats to get hold of it!! 😵😖😠

where can i find that pics?

FRFR how much probably 1-2 million im guessing

They must have used a shoehorn to squeeze it in.

About the same size as a Miata

Same!

Sure you do kid

real one or a replica

Ioan Nichols the same company that made this one Superformance the only company that got licensed by Shelby before he died

So a replica

Ioan Nichols yes but these are the best replicas in the world for the cars they produce

hpkntnw I want to build one but you can buy a continuation cobra from superformance. And it’s classified as a Shelby Cobra not a kit car.

Superformance cars are a tad better

@@gt1r The are much more than a tad better. Factory is fine if you want to build your own. If you want a top notch factory built car, its Superformance or Backdraft.

Fred Gasior agreed. Just wanted to put it nicely

Fred Gasior -agreed

My birth year is 1962. First year of the Cobra.

It looks hideous but to each his own

@@kaystruenoo Yes definitely to each his own! That body style is like 55 years old,& it's an absolutely beautiful piece of history!!!❤

Did you know that almost all 427 street Cobras had 428 hydraulic valve engines that were less powerful than the 427? Even though the fender badge and valve cover insignias said 427, it was really a 428. The 427 was an expensive engine and Shelby didn't want to over price the Cobra anymore than it already was over the Corvette. All of the racing 427 Cobras were the real thing, and if an owner of a 428 street Cobra found out and complained to Shelby, he set him up with the real 427! A lot of guys are unaware of this "fun fact" as they are called.

That body difference isn't noticeable till a real one pulls up then it is obvious. Also at the end of the day the resale value does mean something. And I just feel like in my opinion I would want one as true to form as possible (modern breaks would be nice though) and if I had one of those built everything I said I had a cobra there would be that little voice in the back of my head saying "not exactly buddy"

@@TheJohnnyf10 Comparing all replicas, I actually notice how the car sits off the ground more than body-style differences. For example, one Cobra replica has a long wheelbase and it does not look right to me. I have a keen eye though - I plan car club events for Cobras and Cobra replicas so I see these all the time. At the end of the day, I love all Cobras, and it's interesting to me how/why each owner chose their Cobra.

I only agree as long as you pick the FF with the IRS...

@@BradThePitts and at the end of the day that how and why makes every bit of difference whether it be price or a certain engine they just needed in it. Like I said for me I'd want it as original as possible but I wanna be able to stop good lol

@@hanslubas My solid-axle FFR with aftermarket 5-link corners harder than my first FFR with IRS, although the breakaway point comes more abruptly. Tires were the same, coilovers were not, so it might not be apples to apples comparison. One thing is for sure, I'm not busting axles at the dragstrip like I did with IRS!

Agreed if it wasn’t for the car I would have stopped watching. Sweet pain.

Can’t agree more

@Nathan Sylvestre he also has 11 thousand more subscribers

Same!!

I wouldn’t call it crude, compared to other early 60s race cars lol

This! And the 289 cars won WAY more races than the 427 cars that get all the glory.
