Brad, I just realised something. This photo might be proof that the AP cars are in the very rare category of Cobras that have hand brakes that actually work!



My car would be wrapped around something at the bottom of the hill if I relied on my handbrake alone...

I was struck by this photograph too.

I remember pulling up in a similar position once and my passenger looked at me inquiringly. I asked if anything was wrong and she said no, it's fine, I can walk to the footpath from here.

so true about the hand brakes on ac cobra's. When i was shopping for a cobra hardly any of them worked. And the first one I found that did work properly I ended up buying. might end up being a collector's item one-day lol. The rear end of a absolute pace looks awesome enjoy.

I saw a shot of the car on its way down to the Nationals and I thought then that it had a terrific stance.
Somehow in these shots it looks even better!!!
I love the way the wheels fill the arches, but even more I love the way the brakes fill the wheels. Brad, it looks bloody superb! Great work everybody ...

not to take anything away as the car looks awesome, but I think maybe it looks 1/2" TOO low. And lose those headrests - my gawd they look horrid!

Don't worry Ben, headrests have a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled, they are removed..ahem!! Set of side pipes will work wonders for the stance.

Hi Ben

I have just raised the front of the Cobra and it took me all of 15 minutes to do the job.

It took me longer to get the jack under the chassis than it took to raise the front of the car.

But the headrests stay.

Cheers

Brad

P.S. I heard that you ordered a Pace 427 SC is that true ??

Doc, I will drop you an email with some additional photos of them from our manual resource library. We also have a 3D CAD visualisation drawing of them on the chassis. We have the manual itself and then all the full resolution versions of photos from the manual and other additional images and files. Due to the size of it, it will need to be burnt onto DVD or onto USB stick. Will do you one next time you drop in.

The standard PACE 427 tank is just over 68LT.

The optional long range tank capacity is 92LT.

And we can do even more capacity if required.
