Full-Race Cobra
This just showed up on Cobra Country: Full Race Cobra.
Nice in many ways, but for some reason the Moon-disc headlights cracked me up. |
Looks to be a slightly modified Real Cobra

If I read the listing right, most of the Real(tm) body has been replaced with carbon fiber panels.
Jeez, three sets of wheels and eight sets of tires... that and the engine almost make it worth the asking price. :D

Looks pretty cool. They don't say anything about the race results though. :)

"The chassis started out as a Hi-Tech Motorsports which is a faithful copy of that of the original 427 Cobra..."

Am I the only one that wonders why anyone would take such a beautiful car and slap a very kit car looking aero kit on it?
|
You're not the only one. ;)

To keep the beautiful car from becoming (briefly) a beautiful aircraft and (subsequently) an un-beautiful ball of scrap? |

Racing is about form and function. First throw out the form, then continue.:JEKYLHYDE |

I guess I just wouldn't start with a cobra and do that to it (although it probably wouldn't take that much to pull the kit off and restore it if you wanted to). I'd start with a less beautiful car instead. YMMV. |

:LOL: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The under the hood pic is actually spot on killer...love it. As for the rest of the car, I hope the new owner drives the wheels off it and gets his kicks.
You see the same thing with the Pro Mod early 'Vettes and Camaros. They put all that aluminum wing crap on their to keep it glued to the track, but it barely resembles the cleaner looking originals. To each his own. I guess to go really fast sometimes you gotta lean toward uglier. :D

I actually think is kind of cool looking. Sort of like a bulldog is cute!
The neatest part of the car was the little yellow scoop on the rear cowl for the diff cooler!
I know, I'm wierd!

Full Aero Design
Full Belly Pans
Tuned suspension
497 cu.in. Aluminum
Taking a 40 year old English Designed sports car and making it a contemporary full on race car ---- PRICELESS and all for $75k.
A great deal if you want to go fast on the track......
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

If he molded the flairs and air dams a little better into the original lines of the Cobra, without the "right-angle-ish" flares, it would look a lot better. !!! lol !!!
Where's Buzz when we need him? ;)
