Should you buy a Factory Five Cobra? 3 Things I Love and Hate About my Cobra
Here are the 3 things I love and 3 things I hate about my factory five cobra. After owning the car for a few months now, I have experienced inconveniences that I did not expect such as storage and usability, and I've also experience amazing qualities such as unique experiences at car shows.
This video is intended to give future or prospective buyers an understanding of what to expect in a hand built Factory Five Roadster. I am absolutely thrilled with my Shelby Cobra replica and continue to learn from each driving experience.
Keep in mind, each spec is different since they are hand built. My Factory Five Roadster is a 427 with a Cam, custom race heads, and all kinds of other modifications making close to 600 horsepower.

I Bought a Race Built FFR 427 Shelby Cobra and its INSANE!
มุมมอง 104Kปีที่แล้ว
Say hello to my Factory Five Cobra! This MK2 Cobra has a list of race modifications including custom forged pistons, rods, crank, but most importantly, a custom cam and race heads, all done by Gordon Levy. The car makes roughly 600 hp and 600 tq and weighs only around 2,300 lbs. To put that into context, the new Hummer EV's batteries alone with over 3,000 lbs. I've always dreamed of owning a Co...
2022 BMW M240i FULL REVIEW - Interior - Exterior - Drive - Should you buy it?

Textbook design cues meet fantastic thrills. This is the 2022 BMW M240i. Everything I learned in Design school has been applied to this car. The new angled design language creates the perfect reflections during sunset. The 382 horsepower and 369 lb/ft of torque produced by the inline six, 3.0 liter turbo engine creates a familiar tone and unexpectedly fast acceleration. The biggest draw of this...

TESLA MODEL S PLAID REVIEW - Worlds Fastest Car 0-60 in 1.9

This is the worlds fastest car. Not the fastest EV, not fastest in its class... The fastest car on this planet. The Tesla Model S Plaid launches 0-60mph in 1.9 seconds and it feels uncomfortably unnatural. For comparison sake, a Bugatti Chiron does 0-60 in a measly 2.6 seconds. The best way to describe it is "painfully fast" since a headache and a nauseas stomach usually follow this type of acc...

    I built a MK2 years ago in my garage. It was very near perfect and a very custom build. The only thing I would have done differently is I would use a 450-500 hp small block, I had a 460 bb with over 600 hp, it was fun, but obviously handling was sacrificed a bit. Great car, great kit. They have also came a long way with them since the MK2

    I bought a 2018 Ghibli SQ4 GranLusso a few weeks ago. Had one owner (who traded it in for a Porsche SUV), has low miles, VERY well maintained and it looks brand new, inside and out. Got a great price on it. I agree with Adam regarding purchasing a Maserati Ghibli, but not entirely for the reasons he states... If you consider buying a used Ghibli for short money, be sure to focus on the year, mileage, model, options and maintenance records.. For example, Maserati made some upgrades on the Ghibli since it was first introduced. Unlike the model in this video, my SQ4 has a V6, twin turbo that puts out 424HP and does 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. Scheduled maintenance on these cars is key..., and its not cheap, so keep that in mind. Be mindful of a Ghibli that came off a lease. They've often been beat on, and were not well maintained.

    This mother fucker doesn’t know how to review cars! He doesn't even know what the targeted audience of the 4C. He used the judging criteria of a luxury GT car on this? Buyers who look into the 4C don't give a shit to any of his complaints. 4 years ago, I was drooling over the 4C, the test drive left me the most unforgettable experience, but my wife hated it. However, she let me settled with an M2 CS, which of course is a much better car in many ways EXCEPT for the pure and raw driving fun the 4C offers. Fast forward to today, I'm itching to sell the M2 CS for the 4C just because how much I missed that pure driving experience. I've also driven a McLaren 12C, BMW M4 GTS, and 997 GT3 RS, but none of these gives me that same experience as the 4C. That's how good the 4C is.

    I know this video is three years old now, but it's 99% spot on IMO. I disagree with his comments on the styling of the Merc GLE, but that's just my opinion. I actually prefer the more aggressive SUV-Coupe styling of the MERC to the more traditional SUV-Wagon styling of the Velar. However, the interior of the Velar is outstanding!! Unfortunately, the Velar is plagued with issues. It has one of the lowest reliability ratings in the luxury sport SUV class, only trailing the Ford Kuga and the MG HS, which aren't even offered here in the US! I was looking at the preowned P380 HSE and had to steer clear after researching its reliability issues. If you're shopping for a pre-owned Velar, DO NOT GET ONE WITHOUT A "FULL COVERAGE" EXTENDED WARRANTY!
