Pictures of the Car I had for the Weekend

[SVThopeful]

It's a Superformance Cobra Replica with a 347 Ford Racing Crate Engine and a 5-Speed. The car is a lot of fun but it takes a while to get use to it. When I first drove it, I didn’t like it that much but the more I drove it the more I liked it. Ford Racing uses it for displays since it has their engine in it.

I saw one too many cobras out this weekend. Cool though

I agree, I think the Ford Racing V8 Focus I had a few weeks ago would have been cooler, but you can't beat the sound the side pipes make on that car.

I've seen alot of these, but everytime I do It puts a smile on my face.

Honestly I would like to see some people buy the kit clone and do different things with it. All of the ones I ever see are red silver or shade of blue and they all have a crate engine inside. But it each his own I guess!

is that the subframe cobra that you can buy for 20 grand with a tranny and all you have to do is get a crate motor and drop it in??

No, I believe you can build a Factory Five Cobra for under $20,000, but this one has an aluminum body while most of the others are Fiberglass. I believe this one is about $40,000-$60,000. Too much for me.

ah, okay i see. because i was in OC for the show a few months ago. and Backdraft racing was there with their cobras. they were saying you can buy a rolling chasis minus the tranny and engine for 20k or something.

me too, I see one of these almost every day that I am on the road. I actually followed one for about 10 miles back to ypsilanti while I was in Livonia the other day. The guy driving it was having a hard time not chirping the tires, haha.
