Excellent..sounds just right. I currently own a 1965 RT4 backdraft shelby cobra with a 427 as well and sounds almost identical. Raw power that will distroy anything on the road. Super video and fabulous gear up and down shifting. Also a great road picked to put the cobra through the paces..😎👍👌🍻
My 98 convertible mustang, got loud like this with the right exhaust and muffler setup. Getting flashbacks! Love the sound of this car too! Will be watching for long time. Fuck the chit chat just pure sound!
Yeah, I can confirm it’s good fun. But one tends to drive rarely more than 50 miles in one stroke …as it can get a bit exhausting over time. But nevertheless…a rewarding drive 👍🏼
" awesome sound " also i owned 302 cu inch cobra replica " muffler selected was between quite and loud " just right throaty sounds " put 100 octane fuel in " sounded " like a supercar !" ( on motorway kept at 2000rpm powerband sounded best " with thumbs up" from other cars !
At 0:17 , that bouncing speedo needle is a sign of a kinked speedo cable, the installed radius being "too sharp"....the inner cable is rubbing on the inside sheath & this "bouncing" will get worse & worse over time. This requires the cable being replaced with a longer version, the cable being rerouted so as to not make sharp bends, but rather large gentle sweeping bends.
It's a mechanical speedometer. Uses a cable and gear at each end. The backlash or any play in the tailshaft bushings in the transmission will cause the needle to bounce. It's a pretty normal thing to see with mechanical speedometers.
@@dannyhughes8187Dude, he's talking about the tach to the right of drivers right hand, its the speedo, mechanical gear driven. Tach is center of the steering wheel 😮😮😮
I would love to own a cobra but at 77 years of age I maybe am too old and what would the insurance costs if I could ever find an insurance company that would cover me
You don't see a lot of these cars doing track days. Incredibly difficult to drive quickly in the bends. Squirting down back roads in straight lines is probably the best bet?
If that's a genuine Cobra, it'll stick to the pavement like velcro. Really no need to let off the throttle so much in those mild curves in the video. The public is just used to the squishy comfy suspension on the regular production vehicles we drive. A real race ready vehicle would be objectionable to most drivers because of the harsh suspension. Not made for passenger comfort, but to make the vehicle stick to the road
Nice to cruise with you. I have a 427 cobra not far off being back on the road. Cant wait to do what your doing.
PLEASE DO MORE RIDE ALONGS WITH THE COBRA I REALLY ENJOY IT!!!

@@jimjones9740 I own three. And a Space-rocket.
GD>> Backdraft
@@solitudeguard5688 GD ?
@@fcukugimmeausername I own nine of said cobra, three space-rockets, and my own nuclear superpower

The amount people are concerned about a speedometer cable is mind boggling. Car looks fun.
Thank for the ride. I've never been in a Cobra before. Badass car!

What a beautiful sound .
Beautiful, beautiful car my man!😊
its good to here the 427fe once in a wile to keep once mind right,,
Sensory overload, it makes you feel alive and at one with the car.
Wonderful car and sound! What's the engine build, trans and rear-end gearing? Thanks!
Great drive out an very good gear changing! That's a proper loud pedal, this could be used for councilling for electric car owners?
Best to all.
Ah that lovely torque! Many thanks!
Very nice, are those SF pipes?
DANGEROUS VEMONUS COBRA! SHE SOUNDS GOOD WHAT MOTOR ARE YOU RUNING?
427 roush
I love watching the speedo needle bouncing up and down.
Officer "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Me "Sure, between 60 and 120"
🤣🤣🤣
Great video - fabulous car! But is it too much to expect for a car that cost this much to have a speedometer that works?

This is what dreams are made of
Is that a real/original Cobra or a kit? Either way it sounds phenomenal!
It's neither, Superformance are factory built recreations, made to the highest standards and are very expensive.
@@jjefferyworboys8138Around 60k-$100k which is totally a fair price for such a beauty.

i could not be any greener with envy
Where are those roads?
Awesome
What tuning are you using on the cobra?? please let me drive it!! i want to make my ex jealous!
I had SPF 268 built around 1998 friend # SPF 2282 392 Windsor 500hp 5speed
Is there a reason the needle on the speedo bounces around so much? It seems very sensitive

You talking about the big one in the middle. ?? That would be the tachometer 😮

@@raidersrideordie no shit,. It's liquid filed. Take another look. Smartass.
Used to deal with this a lot on older cars. Lubing or replacing the speedo cable would usually fix it.
Blimey you can tell it just wants to go
That was fun.
I would love to own a cobra but at 77 years of age I maybe am too old and what would the insurance costs if I could ever find an insurance company that would cover me
In my personal case, they registered my Cobra as a 5k 1997 Mustang with 25k (the cost of the kit) in modifications.
going off that road is a death sentence
Padu 😊

Back roads maybe, the forest from Wizard of Oz no.
ford 5.0 coyote would probably be great in this car
Dude's dialed in...
Either you accelerate or you brake. Ciasting is foe whimps.
Great ride but time for a new speedometer…the current one is bouncing all over the place!
I’ve never seen a speedometer bounce like that before. How the heck are you suppose to know how fast you’re going ? 😂
Needs a new cable…
You can pull the cable out of its cover and lube it. But yeah, that is looking bad.@@stevoschannel4127
Nice driving, GRANDPA !
You've just lost your
man card !
Test drive!😮😮😮😮😮😊
Then it is not in England 🏴 cause the left side steer wheel
What’s with the speedo bouncing all over the place?
Speedometer cable either needs some lube or needs to be replaced. That said, a speedo is pretty useless, should just drive by the tach.
What #
BOUNCY SPEEDO
Que se dedique a conducir en círculo o acelerar en línea recta que no sabe otra cosa 😅😅😅😅😅
Sound is total distortion. Trash that speedo. It bounces too much.
Oh please Santa may I have one for Christmas. I've been a very good boy! Pretty please Santa. 🙏
