I Bought a Race Built FFR 427 Shelby Cobra and its INSANE!

Показать описание
Say hello to my Factory Five Cobra! This MK2 Cobra has a list of race modifications including custom forged pistons, rods, crank, but most importantly, a custom cam and race heads, all done by Gordon Levy.

The car makes roughly 600 hp and 600 tq and weighs only around 2,300 lbs. To put that into context, the new Hummer EV's batteries alone with over 3,000 lbs. I've always dreamed of owning a Cobra some day. With original Cobras selling for millions, I knew a factory five roadster was the one to search for. After almost two years of searching for the perfect Cobra, I finally found it.

The Cam jolts you when the car starts up. The entire garage shakes. Although my DJI mic does a fantastic job of isolating my voice so that you can hear me in this open top roadster, believe me when I say that you can hear this car coming from blocks away. It is the loudest car I have ever been around.

I have a few different build plans for this car and want my subscribers to follow every step of the way. Be sure to subscribe to the channel and see the transformation. This will be the most insane Cobra built in the country. Make my words.

You can’t deny the laws of physics when your power to weight ratio is under 4:1 traction is most paramount question

Most beautiful performance car ever built. Its like the P51 of the road. American and Britsh ingenuity married together is unmatched more than half of a century later.

I rode in a Superformance Cobra with a 450hp 351W, and that was insane enough for me. My butt left the seat on every shift, and my back was sliding up the seat. If I had no seatbelt, it would have thrown me out over the trunk lid. I can only imagine what a 427 would be

I just bought one a month ago... it's funny because mines is the same color, same engine, etc. Everything this guy said in this video is spot on. I get the same exact feeling he is talking about. A definite stress reliever! And a very exciting machine.

Shelby would be proud nothing like having a old body with new parts especially better performance parts

The rear suspension looks to be a 4-link from Fox-Body Mustang, although aftermarket control arms were used. A great upgrade would be to a 3-link with a panhead bar, and Factory Five sells the kit! Part number 13181.

Hey Adam, new sub here. Great video! I’m a true Ford fan, and love the Cobra especially with a 427 sb.
2 years ago I sold my 65 Mustang drag car with a Dart 427 custom built race motor making 600 hp not as much torque as yours but close and 3, 200lbs with me in it, best et 10.08 @ 132. My home track was Famoso in Bakersfield!
I’m going to check out your videos to see if you ever got an et slip! Happy New Year bro!🍾☮✌🏻

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I have a Herb Adams Cobra - Lingenfeler 502 . Raw and very exilerating to drive or ride in. COMPTELY different than a couple with long wheelbase

Congratulations on the Cobra. I'm in the process of doing research for my own FFR build, and I noticed that your steering column isn't stock, and I like what you have there, can you please share what manufacturer and model the steering column is? Thank you!

99% of the people can’t handle so many horsepowers in such a light car.
