Chevy just doesn't go with the Cobra word. Hate to be literal but come on now.:eek:

I thought the genuine battle was over.....

:LOL: You just started the battle again... so a fake replica with a coyote is better - just because it is a ford engine **)

I don't have any pics, but I have the 502 Ram Jet crammed in my Cobra. The fuel injection unit is 11 inches tall, so it fills the engine bay. I have only heard one person question the choice of engines in the past few years.

No I was careful not to use the word "real". To me a Cobra is a 1960's model and you know what is under those hoods. Anything else is not genuine as you say.

Regardless of what others write or what a registry says. Enjoy your Chevy powered roadster.:eek: Errr I mean Chevy powered Cobra replica looking fakeydoo.

It's all good.

Well - you reply/spam in a thread "SHOW your chevy powered..." - it is not an invitation to state your opinion about how close to the "original" it is... just asking for pictures - try to stick to the subject or every thread will end up polluted /diluted :JEKYLHYDE

kind regards from me and my Roush 427 srtw :rolleyes:

"Chevy just doesn't go with the Cobra word. Hate to be literal but come on now.:eek:"

Actually, SAAC recognizes continuations and replicas for what they are regardless of powerplant. Fords and Chevys are considered equal, no distinction made between them. Which is closer to the original CS vision, the GM powered car. Back to regular programming.

Chevy, Ford or Viper V10, doesn't matter. They're all good.

As long as your Cobra isn't painted beige. A beige-painted Cobra is just not a Cobra at all. Maybe a nice wall color for your home. :p

rodneym 04-29-2014 09:35 AM
Painted?
Chas told me it was adobe stucko!

BTW, if CS had his "vision", he probably would have driven Ferrari's into the sunset.
His relationship with Enzo, his heart, decisions made for him by XYZ - all helped shape him, too. The limitations of an instrument are what gives it its character, and character goes far.

Here I'll help resurrect your thread. Just received clearance from CT EPA and these gentleman.


Just a car guy : ? Air Pollution Patrol ? Yup, really existed


Has anyone to your knowledge put a Chevy engine in a continuation cobra? Would hurt resale value I would think. But some don't care about that.

While it's not yet fitted to my Pace 427SC, I have a brand new LSA 6.2 Supercharged ready to go at my workshop. It's the 585hp ZL1 variant that I'll be coupling to a TR-6060 MG9.

Given that I won't be running the restrictive OEM intake or exhaust it should make over 600hp....then I might change the pulleys and fit a cam. Should be lively in an under 1000kg (2200lb) car!!

The company that purchased AC, the logo and all their intellectual property is producing genuine AC Cobra's and yes they have a deal with GM and put Chevy Engines in Genuine AC'S.

True... But noones buying them.
Seemingly because people prefer to have fakeydoos with fords in them. :p

:LOL:

Thor maine 05-03-2014 07:40 PM
Genuine fakeydoos.

That will be one sweet machine, state of the art tech all the way, you'll get high praise from anyone who has a chance to see it once done.

Again?...
 
I prefer a Chevy in my car that looks like a Cobra.. CS went to GM at first, but the corvette was their car.. Go figure... Interesting how people talk bad about a Chevy powered replica whose only claim is that it looks like a CSX...Hmmmm... But I see that it does keep a thread going.. Unless your S/N starts with CSX you are in the same gene pool....

Sounds sweet the LSA is very receptive to mods. I have a 2011 CTS-V sedan that makes 750 hp and ran 10.7 @ 128 mph last year. The race weight is 4600lbs including me!

True, no connection to SAI makes 'em all orphans. Consider your chevy powered replica the orphan CS would have adopted first. A series 4000 CSX with a chevy motor would hit the nail on the head if CS had his way.
