It's important to mention that the Backdraft is longer and wider than the original 90" wheelbase Cobras, Superformance Cobras, and Factory Five Cobras. Purists say this throws the proportions off and they are right, but there's more room in the cockpit, engine bay, and trunk.
You can get more room in those other ones if you put a drop foot box in it for tall drivers. Greatest of all cobras other than the originals is A Keith Kraft engine built KIRKHAM COBRA! 💪😎
One of the best review/vids on YT about the BD Cobra...great production and audio. So clear with minimal distortion. What camera/mike did you use for such a windnoise-free audio while underway? The BD Cobra is on my shallow bucket list of cool vehicles to own, new or used, with the right color (for me) and sorted out👍
Great test drive, I hate some of these people, You cant tell when car gets over 1700 rpm if it will break down because they never hit it, Like I said, Drive it like it should be driven !!! Well Done !!
Factory Five's come with KONI coil overs on all 4 corners, upper and lower tubular control arms, 4" tubular space age frame, Wildwood brakes and an independent rear suspension. It wasn't so long ago that BD Cobras had Audi A1000 front strut cartridges, with VW Beatle rear shocks and a manual steering rack from a RHD Toyota pickup truck and BMW or Jaguar rear end depending on the year. Not sure what you are talking about at 5:48?
Definitely one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. They only made one mistake in the build: Putting the G2 tires on the back instead of the R2's. That would have given you the needed traction.
While Shelby later worked for Ford (on the Ford GT) the Cobra was a car made by AC, a british company, notg Ford. Never and never weill be a Ford Cobra. The replica looks stunning tho.
I've lived in North Carolina most of my life and traveled a lot between North Carolina and Tennessee and know there's a lot of great traveling roads in these 2 States but to say "Canyon's" , I'm like you, curious as to what would make him say "Canyons "?
very nice except for that squeaky clutch linkage. The side pipes should drown that out but it's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me... fyi some of the younger viewers might not get that last reference.
Of course it’s gonna be smooth when you granny shift. 😂😂 Ya gotta get on it. Even when you juiced it, bet you weren’t over half throttle. That thing should be able to break loose going into 4th at over 100. That’s how bazaar the power to weight ratio is.
Lol..the stripes are supposed to taper.,they do ..otherwise it gives the illusion thT there getting wider from the front view.i painted a Khirkam aluminum body,and the stripes not tapering,ruins the pIntjob..the widest point of the stripes is at the windshield,and behind the seats.once you see them done correctly,you can't unsee when there wrong..like on that one.
Nowadays you can only recognise the cars only by their brand emblem. They literally turn them out by the hundreds of thousands per year. They all look the same to me .Copying is

Very cool car. Who needs new cars from dealerships when you can have a monster Cobra!
You mean other than faster, smoother, more gears, more power...
Newer cars are faster, better handling, more efficient and safer. I'm okay with new cars
@@Guy-mx4fb New cars are god damn ugly! especially BMW lol.
im building one of these one day my gosh they are beautiful. I hope they dont ever stop making the kits these are just beautiful
The most beautiful car on the planet !!

@@FaithfulServant316 Yes, Factory Five and others sell 'big and tall man seats' . Kirkham is the Holy Grail of Cobra replicas!
Man!!!

What’s not to Love.
Beautiful color.
Man o man, that baby is beautiful….. and sounds sooooo good.
Great looking car. Love these Cobras.
Sickness with the quickness
Best
A buddy of mine used to have one of these. Only rode in it once, but omg that thing was scary it was so powerful
That's my dream machine right there. Backdraft with the Roush 427 is the best I think,
If a car was a bodybuilder this would be it, bulging all over! 😊
Great test drive, I hate some of these people, You cant tell when car gets over 1700 rpm if it will break down because they never hit it, Like I said, Drive it like it should be driven !!! Well Done !!
NASA
Absolutely love that V8 sound!! Gives me huge goosebumps. 😊
Timeless!
Just great now I want one. My stomach was in nots watching you guys
Lovely car 😍 color choices also, although red wouldn't be my personal choice.
The original 15 inch rims with Goodyear Billboard tires is what should be on it, just like the ORIGINAL.

LOL. The neck brace at the end.
Dude,, I’d hate to think what I would give up to own one of these. It’s not even moral. LOL
This guy doesn’t know much and still he gets to drive it
Dayum that looks good!
What engine, A stroked 351W?
Looks like a handful
I love it
Awesome car….squeaky clutch pedal would drive me nuts
There is no pricing when I go to the link. What do cars like this typically sell for?
Beautiful car!!

fuel gauge looked like ti was bouncing back and forth
Excellent Beautiful Sublime Inmortal 🛸🛸🛸

It’s a nice ford cobra.
Is it for sale? If so how much?
Superformance is the one to have.
Ill take Factory Five over all
Cobra: when too much is just enough.
What would the price be for this car? Where are you located in Florida? Do you do trade ins?
Wow. Wow. Wow
@ 09:12 He's talking about going through some gears, I see a cop on the side of the road... I'm like, no! Dont do it!
What is that color ??
It’s beautiful.
Quality vid.
Can someone standing at 6'4" with a 35" inseam fit in this vehicle?
Nice ride get some 4:88s
I don't get it, so, was this a trade in or do you just flip cars for profit?
Observation: The "canyons" of N. Carolina / Tenessee?
I've lived in North Carolina most of my life and traveled a lot between North Carolina and Tennessee and know there's a lot of great traveling roads in these 2 States but to say "Canyon's" , I'm like you, curious as to what would make him say "Canyons "?
What engine is in this?
Hello, what size rims and tires are these? Maybe also the color number? ;)😀☺👍
Please what síze rims in front and back?
Niiiiiiiice
How many miles to the gallon?......
Who the F cares 🤡
Put big power in a small car may be fast in a straight line but put it on a track to see if it actually works
Speedo dropping at full acceleration is strange but otherwise amazing ride
Wheels finally caught up with the speed. It was spinning.
@@BulletmotorsportsInc makes sense. More power!!!!!
You have to say that in a Jeremy Clarkson voice tho.
Mechanical tach?
Süper 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯.
Hubba Hubba Hubba AAAAAA !!!! @#!"$ YES!!!!!.GEAR heads will agree.
😍 👍
?????? Come on Roush step it up !!!
My 408 Win Stroker makes 553 HP in a small block !! 😎
You talk about modern suspension as if Factory Five doesn’t offer a IRS. My FFR has IRS with coil overs completely modern.
Nice Cobra but its's funny how you keep dogging on the FFR's. A FFR would be my preferred Cobra.
NASCAR
I need one😩
Squeaky clutch pedal? Over and over again - so annoying! Otherwise fine machine!
very nice except for that squeaky clutch linkage. The side pipes should drown that out but it's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me... fyi some of the younger viewers might not get that last reference.
Too much motor, too much cam for a street car. 347 is good enough for such a light car. Very nice beast.
Or a 327 stroker by Roush.
Of course it’s gonna be smooth when you granny shift. 😂😂
Ya gotta get on it.
Even when you juiced it, bet you weren’t over half throttle.
That thing should be able to break loose going into 4th at over 100.

Can’t spell bizarre but expects to talk to people like they know how to drive
He can’t light ‘em up and pitch it sideways, it is for sale and not his car you know..
But its not a real AC427 FE
So?
Very nice car!!! But is that the fuel gauge needle bouncing? Very bitchin car!!
Thats a 60'dsCorvette steering wheel.
Blue vain throbber.
Buddy, Factory five has modern suspension do your research. Proportions of the car just look off, sorry.
The Back draft cobras are "stretched a bit"... Not the original 90" wheelbase.
If Carroll Shelby didn't build it, it isn't a "Cobra".
Quero um de fibra de carbono.
The interior looks like it was made by Bugatti..
What the f is the squeaking as he changes gears
Clutch linkage
Just imagine trying to count your pairs of soiled underwear when driving this thing in the wet. Ok. Lost count. Time for a new pair..
Beautiful cars but they need to lose that out-of-place, God awful, out of proportion rollbar! Then they would have something truly magnificent!
Economy ? Really ?
"It just spins". is exactly why you shouldn't buy this car.
God I hate salesmen
what does he mean by modern suspension..lol..If this car has a solid axle in the back..its not modern.
It has IRS
Come on, it is not a ford, Ford never produced the cobra. Shelby was responsible for the Cobra.
ummm...looks like a carburator
it's cheaper to buy one you can i get one for 10 cents on the dollar at Barrett Jackson las Vegas that what i did wheelchair larry
A little CORNEY but....ok
Another fake Cobra.
Out performs the original for over a million less. I love mine cause you can actually drive it.
Hey Joe, show us your real Cobra!
@@RecoveringUGrad I got a garage full, it's hard to chose.
Everyone can't afford an original one🤡
@@joe-hp4nk yeah right! Enjoy your Kia! Lol
Lol..the stripes are supposed to taper.,they do ..otherwise it gives the illusion thT there getting wider from the front view.i painted a Khirkam aluminum body,and the stripes not tapering,ruins the pIntjob..the widest point of the stripes is at the windshield,and behind the seats.once you see them done correctly,you can't unsee when there wrong..like on that one.
A trailer truck will fit comfortably in the passenger door gaps.....but admittedly the finish shines
Interior is so ugly!
The interior should have been Black
Stuff the purists. I got a backdraft cobra. It will also be a replica so who cares a s…t about original.😊
