  • The Shelby Cobra has remained one of my dream cars throughout my life, so getting to drive the Superformance MKIII Cobra was incredibly special for me. I filmed this video with no script or plan because I wanted to share my genuine and spontaneous thoughts while behind the wheel, and as a result I am often at a loss for words! I hope you enjoy the video and I would appreciate it if you liked and subscribed. Thanks for watching.

    Purchased my Superformance MK111 new in May 2003, replaced two speedos lost track of the miles somewhere near 100,000 now.
    Turned 82 in January the car is a part of me, slowed down a tad yet I'm still nervous with excitement when it calls me from the garage with a Roush modified 351 Windsor and Tremec 5 speed with Jordan shifter. Lets hope the weather is good this weekend.

      Thanks for sharing your story. I’m having a Backdraft Cobra delivered next week. I’m 55 and want my 80’s to be exactly like yours. ❤️

    A guy came to our car club cars-and-coffee breakfast yesterday driving a 427 one of these in a similar color scheme. It came in, every head turned. If parked, every dude in the car club walks over, lol. He was generous with his time answering questions. A Whole pile of MG owners were not even a little interested in racing this guy.

    Mine is almost exactly the same as in the video. The only thing I don't like about it is there's no power steering. It's OK on the street but it would be impossible at autocross. Fortunately, I also have a Factory Five Cobra - it kicks the Superformance's ass as far as handling, but it's a brutal ride. You feel every bump, and you last no longer than an hour in it. I could drive my Superformance coast-to-coast.

    Superformance claims it is an American company, but its cars are built in South Africa, not the USA.

      By that logic then Shelby American was never an American company since the cars were built in England.....

      Although they are built in S Africa, they are still an American company! As far as I'm concerned Superformance is an American company because the total drive train is installed in the USA!

    Nice video but too much "You" and not enough "car." I think it would have been enjoyed more (and a lot better use of your battery life) if you spent more time going over the car, which is iconic and deserves a detailed description. Other than that, pretty good video!

    These have been reviewed countless times on Y.T.
    Even the dancing African kids in underware from memes have reviewed. They determined kit cars suck.
    Why review again?

    • @G8rJimbo
      @G8rJimbo 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Negative reviews are left all the time, even on videos that don't deserve it. So many are pointless and could have been avoided by just skimming past. So why write a negative review again?

    • @The1990Pro
      @The1990Pro 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Interesting take... the term "kit car" gets a bad rap. Sure, there are horribly constructed kit cars that insult the originals. But that's not always the case. Companies like Superformance, Backdraft Racing, and Factory Five Racing make [replicas] that are far superior to the original in every way. From your view, the originals should be categorized as kit cars because they were not mass produced and had build quality issues. You can appreciate the heritage and legacy of the original while admiring and respecting the replicas.

      Depreciating? I have owned SP01715 since 2006. I could sell it today for at least 30% more than I paid for it. One of the few "toys" I have owned that has gone up in value.
