The FIRST 100% American built car to win an FIA Sanctioned International road racing series in history. Should've been 1964 but happened a year later in 1965 because Enzo Ferrari got the FIA to cancel the last race in 1964 at Monza to cost Shelby a chance at the championship which he would've more likely won as the Daytona at Monza was almost 10 mph faster than the 250 GTO and there were no chicanes to eff up the fast cars back then. By 1965 Shelby had been asked by Ford to take the prototype GT(40) program over from John Wyer so he turned the Shelby Cobra team over to Alan Mann racing out of England to conquer the GT championship which he did with drivers like Bob Bondurant at Rheims, France so appropriately on July 4, 1965.
Look how loose, but responsive that thing is......if you have the skill to handle it, so much fun!
That car would be a handful to drive considering it was mostly mechanical grip, as it only had a front and rear deck lip spoilers.

The real meaning of " a handful to drive".

I saw 1.6G on the meter. That's pretty damn good for 60 year old technology.
Son moteur typique du V8 Américain, un grand moment !!!. 👍👍👍👍
Nice drifting
She's a dancer, and she has a good partner, like to know what motor your running, doesn't sound like a small block.
Probably 427 big block..
In the words of Jason Plato "it's a fighter"

Je pense que c’est la tenue de route de la voiture elle meme qui est horrible. La cobra est connue pour ça
@@TheRedBaron_01 oui mais là c'est pire que pire.
