OK.....laying off the poor old DRB NOW!!!:LOL::LOL:
Obviously a great business for them over the years and Dennis had done what he believed was correct??? But that was many moons ago... ...and yes the Harrison does seem to and has been the weapon of choice for a while now!! John...See what lies ahead for you??... And this is only the first kit you've asked about!!:LOL::confused::LOL: Paul :D |
Both King and Queen cobra drive DRB's dont they? :)
(Thats all Im saying - dont want another abusive PM from angry DRB owners ;)) |
Most Cobra's are beautiful
PCC,
My first visit to the Cobra Car Club of Victoria meeting way back in 2004 I was walked down stairs (by the then President) and shown the difference between a number of what I would call beautiful Cobra's. To me they all looked the same (as they do for most people) when they are viewed on their own. As we know this is not the case, I certainly didn't like the DRB rear (personal taste) I really appreciated this person taking the time to point the differences out, so much so I employed him a few years later:3DSMILE: STIFFY |
I certainly stirred things up there :) (Just love a good bunfight)
I have also learnt something. I was laboring under the delusion that a COBRA " REPLICA" was a replica of a Cobra!!!! When really they should be called Cobra "INTERPERATIONS" And for Chev engines in what is in essence a FORD ................is that legal !!!!!!!!!:p Can you imagine the SH1TSTORM if you showed up at a Mustang get together in a Shelby with 350Chev !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: ;););););):D:D:D:D:D |
Ok another one .http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=1244ACAF52DC This is something I like . Is a car belonging to somebody on the forum ??
Don't tell me it's another one of those dreadful DBR shockers . LOL JOKE :eek:;);) They all look the same to me . Although I did sometimes wonder why some car had more "ROAD PRESENCE" than others .I always thought it was somethimg to do with colour or wheels and tyres . |
Man...you just threw the key at the head of the Darkside and knocked him out LOOKOUT and wait for door open and the Flamin to begin!!!Got your fire suit on!!!
I'm with you on this point mate ...I'll be there til the end mate!!:3DSMILE: |
Hope nobody takes that crack seriously . Any engine in any Cobra is better than what I have at the moment . I shouldn't really stir things up ,after all I'm brand new here .........I should wait a bit longer before doing that %/
Chev engines have their place .............IN CHEVS :mad: Oh yeah and Hot rods and drag car ,kick bum ski boats......... some of the fastest cars around .Its a bugger they are such good donks |

You'll know when you've gone to far the Mod's will delete your pic's and posts and you'll be given a tempory Holiday!! |
Yeah .I like the look of it in the pics . As I mentioned the dash is different from most I've seen . Is that the norm on DBRs?

Here's a build up on one over on the LS1 Tech web page: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/drag-r...lsx-build.html This one runs 7.29 in the 1/4 If you one eyed Ford blokes are squeamish you better not look. :p Cheers |

A Cobra in essence is an AC not a Ford, Ford were just the lucky second place engine choice and agreed to bankroll the project.
Truth be told, if Ford had said no, Cobras may have had hemi's in them. Now there is a thought! |
Hot Rod had the 'Orphan' they built a while back that was a 'fox' bodied mustang with an LS1.
They got loads of hate mail, but it kicked arse. |
...then there was the Hot Rod article about the early Camaro with the Nissan GTR engine.
A few comments were made :LOL: Cheers |
HEMI in COBRA! .Now that would be something
|
I can't believe you blokes are being sucked into the Chev/Frodo argument again - by a self confessed "newb"! :)
John, have you got a budget in mind? If buying an unregistered car have you factored in $1500+ for engineering, nearly $1000 for first rego and RWC test, $1000s for stamp duty, custom wheels, etc? This exercise might help clarify your entry point and how long you have to finish the project. Will you be doing much of the labour yourself or paying someone to help you? |

There's been a couple of recent replica ones too. This one's a bit of a beast: http://www.mtdesign.com/cobra/ There's a few with the Viper V10 wedged in too. Cheers |

drag strip stuff with dfferent engine and body configurations is one thing but a restored Mustang with a different make engine NO THANKS . I'm more of a purist when it come to my Mustangs ....but as a very wise man once said (about 5 posts back) "whatever rocks your boat "
