Cobras were built on a production car called the "AC Bristol" in England which is a four banger engine. Whereas, the Cheetah is a total custom built with custom tube space frame built solely for racing. Less than 32 cars were built.
always loved the way stacey gives back and does so much for ppl that dont have much like him bringing this guy on tv he made his life you could see it in his eyes and he deserved it i think so awesome stacey your the best
Hey Stacey. I am glad you are putting full episodes on the tube. I still remember watching your old show when I was young(more then 20 years ago). Thanks and keep up the great work.
Really enjoyed this video and feel proud that I was able to see Brendon and how well he has done puts a lot of us including me to shame well don Brendon and well done StaceyDavidsGearZ for bringing him to us.......
For years Ive been yelling about putting filters on stacks etc, why build a hot engine and skip out on the filters? I used to work on imports, and clients would remove the filters on the stacks that you could stick on dual Webers etc, because they were ugly so is the cost of rebuilding an engine, foreign objects going down an engine, bends valves, puts holes in the piston and destroys the combustion chamber, hats off to Stacey about this issue.
I am guessing looks is not a factor. As he stated they need at least 17's to clear the brakes and these will perform 100% better then the old style. The old style looks better I agree. But he wants it to perform.
@@terrybender7857 Gonna say size has nothing to do with it, so many companies make copies of the old torque thrusts in all sizes. Bet it has more to do with who will give free parts.
Me personally, I would take the air filters and have them color matched to the a color that is highlight in the bay, and than powder coated. Imagine the broken necks if you use red.
its cause he is using a supercharger. And i would doubt that he looses that much. i am willing to bet he was just was exaggerating. to loose 200hp your making stupid serious power.
+kris johnson 200 horse power probably is an exaggeration but I've read articles on that style filter costing 40-50 horse powering on smaller engines than this.
First saw the cheetah in a car n driver in 78 I think it was. Told all my friends and the thought I was pulling thier leg til I showed them the article. While most kids had exotics from Europe on thier walls I was the only kid with a Chevy that put all of those Ferrari's to shame. Still would like to know how you can drive that thing without torching your left leg cause the headers are about 6" away but that's what ya deal with to drive an animal like the cheetah.
I feel you on that one brother. They are some guys out there that say oh I don't know I don't know if that's going to run right. It's because they don't know so we can listen to those guys people like you and me we know what we're doing. You guys should be on TV more than the other guys. I miss seeing you build trucks and build cars. While the other newcomers just have BMWs and Mercedes and Audi who cares about those cars we want to see hot rodding we want to see engine-building we want to see all of that good stuff. Who cares about BMW Mercedes and Audi I don't care who has one I don't care about the Lamborghini I don't care about the Porsche who cares about those those are for stuck up people I want to see hot rods
It’s a cool car. But $65k (plus shipping) for the roller as first seen on the show, it’s way out of range for most. Then again they want a fortune for a rolling chassis of a cobra replica as well. With car the built up, you could of bought a used Lamborghini for the same money.
Goodness, I was with you (even with the AC), but those wheels gotta go -- they look like EMPI VW wheels from the 60s... oh well, I'm dating myself... 😁
DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. NO GOOD BACK YARD MECHANIC WOULD WASTE THERE TIME ON GASKETS OUT OF A TUBE. TAKE YOUR TIME AND WAIT ON THE PARTS YOU NEED IN THE END YOU'LL HAVE A BETTER PROJECT THAN THE GUY WITH OUT OF THE TUBE GASKETS..
Why does this video make me feel like I am about to be a science experiment at a Vatican experimental surgery center? Could they be more obvious in telling us about "patients"?
2 big wheels on the cat... looks ugly .. from rear specially. . looks like midget with running shoes at size 18 ... it just looks wrong.. Issue with building car with sponsorship enforced items.. just bad for everyone
you know with wheel motors and batteries, all the geometry changes for a almost all out track car like this, it would be great 2c what ppl would do with a ground up build now.

Brandon is an amazing young man! Best of luck to you!
always loved the way stacey gives back and does so much for ppl that dont have much like him bringing this guy on tv he made his life you could see it in his eyes and he deserved it i think so awesome stacey your the best
Yea, he's good people.
Hey Stacey. I am glad you are putting full episodes on the tube. I still remember watching your old show when I was young(more then 20 years ago). Thanks and keep up the great work.
stacey that was cool that you spend time and encourage that young man
Really enjoyed this video and feel proud that I was able to see Brendon and how well he has done puts a lot of us including me to shame well don Brendon and well done StaceyDavidsGearZ for bringing him to us.......
I remember watching you when I was 14 now I'm 32. Nice to see you still going.
God bless Brendan. Thanks for having him on.
Your a soldier brenden..great talent.
thats badass to see brendan, hes comes into are parts store all the time!
Brendan is a Hero! Please tell him Thank You!
That cougar in the background looks nice
Love the cheetah body lines!!
Amazingly you can learn tons off of people such as him thinks outside the box and doesn't let anyone or anything stop him.
i need a show like this to build these for my self and other people :)

Stacey we love you cuz your heart!
Never let off the gas pedal.
cheetah's wheel make the car look like a hotwheels toy.
Exactly what I thought.
The whole thing looks like a hotwheels toy! lol
But a cool hotwheels toy. :D
The Hilborn fuel injection unit looks great on that engine.
i had a strobecker race car set and one of the cars was that car so cool
You do back to back runs with and without those gauze filters? Very very easy to loose loads of power with the wrong or incompatible ones.
LOL at 9:15 : that thing is easier to tune than u think... (goes directly to Holley) SURE!!! ;-p
645.5 hp and 583.7 lbs-ft to be exact ;-p
wheels don't look good at all, they make it look like a dirt buggy not a street car.

I remember Finnegan on Motor trend put those stacks on his hemi and the filters cost him 200hp on the dyno.
its cause he is using a supercharger. And i would doubt that he looses that much. i am willing to bet he was just was exaggerating. to loose 200hp your making stupid serious power.

Good job getting Holley to tune a competitor's system.
looks like the one that went to england, cheetah evolution coupe...
Totally reminds me of JP’s practice car from the anime”REDLINE”🖖🏼
I would like to find an early 70's Pinto Pony body. I think that car had some potential.
awe stacy the coolest car ever aw come on wow
Love that car go the big dude.
THINK BIG BUT DREAM BIGGER!!!!!!!!
Should have gone with 17s. 15 be classic, but understand, but rubber bands don't look right on that classic knock-off.
Hotwheels did make a Cheetah casting its called the Cat a pult.
why didnt you add a torc converter?????
Where can i find the music that started playing at 8:58?
BUDDY, TRUST GOD HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOU AND ITS FANTASTIC....... GOD BLESS YOU.
The guitar at 9:30, is their more to that riff?
FUCK YES!!!!
it all so cool......
Whats the wheel companies name i can't find them.
Ya should have built the Ruth Wide Body Cheetah! LOL
It looks too weird with the wheels&tires.
i do not think it need that much brake ether,, could have went smaller on both, i want to see the finished car on this, has anyone seen it?

It has the same ground clearance as a new z71...
yea,, i want to see the finished car,, it looks like a 4x4 to me also

Him and Gean Simons go to the same barber. Hair helmets
Why would you sacrifice so much runner length as opposed to something like a FAST 92 or 102 or even an ls6 mani. Throwing away hp there.
And tq
id say it need a magneson blower,, if your going to go that far,, why nor finish it
Oh and any feature that makes a real car resemble a hotwheels car is ok in my book.
💙
I'm gonna show you how easy this is to rune. Goes to Holley HQ, lets them tune it. 👍
Air conditioning ?!?!? In a Cheetah ?!?!? Wheels HAVE to be Torq-Thrust, like the originals.....
Pretty much showed everything from the last episode......and more infomercials...
That 454 should be pull at least 800hp
JUST GIVE ME A GOOD OLD HOLLEY 4BBL.
great place FoR a 1000 dOMINATOR,,
It’s a cool car. But $65k (plus shipping) for the roller as first seen on the show, it’s way out of range for most. Then again they want a fortune for a rolling chassis of a cobra replica as well.
With car the built up, you could of bought a used Lamborghini for the same money.
did u just tell someone who cant see to go online and tell them what he needs
I've never seen a logo so bad I actually wanted to turn the show off. SD please let me help you with that. Still watched, of course...:)
Ben Miosi keep in mind some of these were filmed before you even came out of the nut sac
Some people that were around when this show originally aired loved the logo. Yours is not the only opinion, and times change.
Goodness, I was with you (even with the AC), but those wheels gotta go -- they look like EMPI VW wheels from the 60s... oh well, I'm dating myself... 😁
This is easily a $100K car but considering the performance that may be a bargain.
You look like James May
why does this show have such a hard on for 8 stacks?
wheels look so stupid........ nice car otherwise
you are welcome to do that to my car ...stacey
Did you ever finish the Cheetah?
It's getting independent rear suspension from Winters, then it'll be back to be wrapped up!
More rubber less wheel plz, those are silly looking
EB240 he clearly said he has 16 inch brakes....
Those wheels are not working on the cheetah
This guy should change his shirt always has the same one on
DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. NO GOOD BACK YARD MECHANIC WOULD WASTE THERE TIME ON GASKETS OUT OF A TUBE. TAKE YOUR TIME AND WAIT ON THE PARTS YOU NEED IN THE END YOU'LL HAVE A BETTER PROJECT THAN THE GUY WITH OUT OF THE TUBE GASKETS..
Wheels look goofy and clash with the sleek body style…
To much rim not enough tire. Do not like that look.
Should have put a ford engine in it only faire because they put la in ford car and the Cobra lol
Except that the original cheetah had a Chevy small block in it.
Wheels hang out, and look like a low-rider Honda...
Why does this video make me feel like I am about to be a science experiment at a Vatican experimental surgery center? Could they be more obvious in telling us about "patients"?
2 big wheels on the cat... looks ugly .. from rear specially. . looks like midget with running shoes at size 18 ... it just looks wrong..
Issue with building car with sponsorship enforced items.. just bad for everyone
May I please have the cheetah car :) plz!
How about we build a electric hotrod together
you know with wheel motors and batteries, all the geometry changes for a almost all out track car like this, it would be great 2c what ppl would do with a ground up build now.
Wheels are awful.. not being mean just honest
the cheetah didn't make a big impact.
Terrible wheel figment.
Ruined a perfectly good Mercury Cougar with those stacks.
all it takes is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
It looks like a clown shoe.
Why is he so interested in the size of our testicles?
The wheels ruin the look.
The cheetah was never meant for the street. This build is an abomination.
How about new programming. That's why I gave up on you, all old stuff even when you were on TV.
Bruce Basil exactly. how about finishing Sgt Rock or the SLC
Typical new style build on an older car which looks like shit.
Idiots!!!! You put some off brand ho hum who cares wheels on that car when should A/R Torq Thrusts on it!!! Way to screw up a nice car duh.
YOU RUINED THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!
wheels are gay
this guy is a dickhead, I had to stop watching when I saw the engine and brakes.
Nothing says "pro" like bending a bracket in a vice with a cheater pipe.
There's this new invention called the metric system
