Default CCX3-3753 for sale

I just traded a GT1/BP Vintage Corvette race car for this Cobra in June so I can't help with any answers to how it was built. I did go over every nut and bolt on the car before driving it though, so I am starting to get to know it....at least 50 were loose....

I have had it out on two road courses along with the single run at the drag strip (please don't ask about the reaction time, there is slow and then there's me glad it does not count in the ET). It came within a couple of seconds of my Vette times on the road course tracks, going through the corners much faster. I was also able to get deeper into the braking zones because of it being 700 lbs lighter than the Vette. The only place the Vette was better is in the exits of the corners. The vette had a 730hp small block with 14 to 1 compression, nothing beat that car out of the corners.

This is the first Ford and the first big block I have had and I am having some fun with it. The bad news for this group is that I traded the vette to get a more marketable car to sell or trade for a race car for my son. I have had quite a bit more activity on the Cobra, much more than the Vette. No serious offers yet though.

A hint to the fun I am having as long as I have it....I took it to the chassis shop today to get improve the roll bar and have a twin built for it.
