Your comprehensive kit really is just that!! I can just imagine the delivery - open the box and all the parts are there. Just like a KIT.

With the 20% discout for purchasing up front, this is quite a reasonably priced option. Especially given the Al chassis and bodywork. Just add engine, gearbox, tyres, wiring and presto - new Cobra! Paint as required.

I look forward to seeing a few on the road as I am sure you do.

Geof, cheers.

Interesting enough all those parts in Comprehensive Kit are actually provided at our cost(parts cost plus labour to pack and supply), they are all very high quality parts and that is as cheap as we can source or manufacture them.

By supplying all the parts upfront, it takes us a lot less manpower in handling and packing of the parts, so that is why we can offer that 20% discounted total price.

We just use the Comprehensive Kits as leverage to help sell more body/chassis units. The pricing is as aggressive as we can be.

For quite a few builders out there, the Comprehensive Kit should reduce the total build cost.

We also believe we are the cheapest supplier in Aus when it comes to the Comprehensive Kit.

Also note the Comprehensive Kit (and Base Kit) can be customised.

Plus there are other savings, our bodies will require significantly less time and money to paint, which these days equates to a $3000-$4000 saving in total paint cost. And for a quite a few customers they are not painting them or painting them down the track.

Geof, did you notice the driver & passenger fresh air vents. Also functional front brake ducts included as well.

Congrats Craig on revolutionising the standard of kits available here in Oz if not worldwide by the looks. Mate it is a credit to you and the team at Pace. Hope all goes well.
Cheers

Brilliant Craig. I am pretty sure I sold my Harrison at the right time. The market will be glutted soon I suspect. I will come down to have a chat in a few months ...

[albanycobra]

Wow...very impressive and the GT40 kit is bloody good value as well.

I will come down to have a chat in a few months ...

now what are you up to Merv.....

[400TT]

Thanks guys.

Thought some here would like to see a Ford Coyote engine fitment as it is relatively new to Cobra world. The fitment in the photos is just a normally aspirated engine. Ironically we have had more orders from customers using Supercharged Coyote.

We have tuned the fitment as low and as far back as practical as the Supercharged Coyotes are proving popular with customers looking to do a bit of track work. And obviously the Supercharged Coyote is a little taller.

Bottom of the sump just sits above the bottom of the chassis. Assuming the use of a performance sump.



Have also test fitted GM V8. Same idea, fitment has been tuned low and far back for maximum performance and to fit in the Supercharged versions. Also assume the use of the performance sumps, including GM Performance units to get the sump above the bottom of the chassis.

And Ford Windsor. Same idea, low and far back to fit in the height of those stock EFI intakes. In particular the stock EFI intake for the 351w.

Out of all the engines the Coyote is the tightest fit both in width and rear wall clearance due to it's larger physical size. But it all works well as we spent the time and effort needed to fully optimise the chassis design for the most popular engines.

Enjoy.

Not my Album photos, those photos at the top are from different albums. If you click my album(camera) icon under my ID, then you will get just my photos. Cheers.

Thanks for the tip Craig! I was trying to show someone at work through your rolling chassis pics the other day and was having trouble.

I though the pic of the guy with a 'coconut cup' on might have been you!

Sorry to distract you from the great work you guys are doing...

[fordracing65]

Hersh looks like a big kid in that pic, lol

[400TT]

Bernie, great to hear. Hersh is a great guy.

Hi Craig, any pictures of fitted sway bars?

[400TT]

Mark, will need to take some photos of the sway bars fitted for you. We are supplying them as an option for the more track orientated guys. We are building the first chassis with track options next.

We have recently released a new exciting model level for the PACE 427 kit. It has proven popular as we are already onto our 5th Super Street body.

PACE 427-S (Super Street) features an upgraded body. It is both lighter, stronger and enjoys even better longevity than our already excellent standard body.

Features of PACE 427-S (Super Street) Body:

* 22% lighter than the standard body.
* More than 6 times the carbon content of our standard bodies.
* Upgraded Resin.

We utilise only high strength double-bias carbon in our lay-up. It is a knitted reinforced material consisting of 2 ply’s of carbon each laid down at 45 degrees to each other. This is a much stronger structural carbon compared to the more cosmetic looking woven design.

We also extensively utilise Kevlar/Carbon Hybrid material in our door construction. We use multiple layers each laid up in the cross-direction that maximises door skin strength to significantly enhance impact & tear resistance and also provides superior fire resistance. Combined with our door anti-intrusion bar design to create a very strong and safe door construction while minimising door thickness and maximising interior space.


Enjoy the photos...
