Have over 100, 000 miles on my Superformance Cobra with minimal those were with an engine which was NOT supplied by Superformance. And with THAT many miles, what could you expect? Replaced the engine with a John Kasse 521ci 700+ HP engine and it is a beast. The body and frame are still as tight as new. I bought mine 20 years ago and can sell it for more than I have in on that it is the least expensive car I have ever owned. Remarkable resale values on these cars. Great video. I can barely keep from just giggling with joy every time I drive mine. NEVER gets old.

I bought a Superformance Cobra back in 2002 from the Olthoffs,   chassis number 1358 with a ford crate 460 and dual quads....as the paint and craftsmanship is top notch, the most fun vehicle I ever owned.

Most fun car I ever owned. Bought from friend dirt cheap. Factory Five with a big cam 429. Not a car alarm it couldn’t set off. You’ll never regret owning one. But you’ll always regret selling one.

The Cobra has been my dream car since it first came out. Before kit cars and any of that.
My second was the Daytona Coupe.
Both awesome vehicles, but I’ll never be able to afford an original.
Superformance has just the best that’s out there, to allow me to make the jump.
Performance and beautiful engineering, plus unlimited engine options takes it over the top for me.
And … there’s absolutely nothing else out there that sounds as good as a Cobra, at full bark. ❤️❤️❤️

Love that all Superformance cars are 100% licenced by the original manufacturers. Worth all the money. A new classic. Brilliant concept! Thanks South Africa.👍🏻💪🏻

I bought my Superformance 427 Cobra 10 years ago and have since racked up more than 30, 000 smile-filled miles on it. It's so facking fantastic, I hardly know what more to say.

As a kid I went and saw “The Gumball Rally” at the theater and fell in love with the Cobra. I will own one of these someday

[terrybuchanan]

That has to be the BEST V8 sounding I've never heard before!

[bandagefreak]

Priceless!! I get the same feeling from my ''67 Mustang fastback - up and down the gears just for the sheer SOUND of it!

[jesuschristpose]

One of the best car scenes, gumball rally, Ford cobra vs Ferrari, that made me fall in love with the cobra

I usually like Superformance's cars, but this one has a MAJOR FLAW:



I'm not sitting in it!!! What a beast!

I worked for many years for a great guy who owned an original ‘65 289 Cobra. I helped him on the restoration and he rewarded me many times over with opportunities to get behind the wheel. Each time I drove it, I’d get cramps in my cheeks from the silly grin I had pasted over my face. That said, this would take all that and magnify it many times over. Damn, what a fantastic car. Raw, mean, noisy, and demanding 100% of your attention. Exactly as it should be. Thanks for sharing this with us Shawn, and brother, color me green ‘cuz I envy the daylights out of you for what you do for a living!

[SIMKINETICS]

Just imagine carving canyons with this Cobra, and hearing that exhaust sound echoing thru the mountains!

[SovereignKnight]

OMG that 427 is beautiful! I want one!! Thank you Shelby for making this masterpiece!!

[rocketman]

I don’t agree that Factory Five cars are junk cars as the OP put. However, if I were to build one myself I would definitely beef it up a lot more and add a different motor than a blueprint. Great video

[dominicegan]

I'm so jealous of the Cobra owners here. It's an absolutely timeless classic, my favourite car of all time..

[curtisheltsley]

Roush is the true King of the Road! Sounds great!

I grew up with muscle cars in the 60’s, had a new ‘68 Roadrunner, but always loved the GT350 Mustangs and ‘65/66 Cobras. This car is awesome, and thanks to your video, I’m going to seriously look into buying one of these. Great job on the video, thanks.

Such an old shape yet still so beautiful, simply stunning car.
