A Cobra built by Las Vegas Performance Roadsters, of course. ;)
Here's what makes it GO. A 5.0 liter Supercharged engine.

Here's a secure mount for your video cam to record your "E" ticket ride. :shock:

Chuck told me for a mere $60 K I could be the proud owner of one just like this. Hmm, it IS a lot cheaper than a Ford GT, and I'm betting just as much fun. ;)

That looks like a camera mount on the rollbar behind the driver's right shoulder.

Beauty of a car. My neighbor has a replica down the street :\

And I have seen some real nice ones driving around. They look like so much fun.

[insomnia]

I bet that would be a riot to drive :shock:

Thanks Dan & Jackal.I bet that would be a riot to drive :shock:
GAWD, I guess!
I just did a quick power to weight breakdown and came up with one horsepower to push every four point eight pounds. That's some SERIOUS power to weight ratio for a street driven car!
In FACT, that's treading on "Super Bike" power to weight ratios. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Ohyeah.. those Cobras had an absolutely irresponsible amount of power under the hood! :shock:

You could pass pretty much anything on the road.. sideways... :lol:

Its a Hama roll bar camera mount .

You can easily make one with bogen 3025 or 3437 3d head

I remember attending the first all Cobra race at Watkins Glen. Funny as hell to see a dozen cars trying to get off the line without spinning out. Lots of doughnuts that weekend.

I'll bet that was a real sight to see. :lol: ;)

0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds while still in first gear...
With a 427 that Redlines at 7000 RPM, I should think so. ;)
The Cobra still has the Vet beat in terms of power to weight ratios though.
4.8 LBS per Horse for the Cobra.
6.2 LBS per Horse for the Vette.
I think there is some strong competition brewing. :shock:
Thanks for that interesting tidbit. :D

As much as I love my Vette, I would trade it in a heartbeat for a well-made Cobra replica... something about those cars just oozes sex.

Ugh! I'm gonna be sick. That's just down right cruel. I love the Cobra and everything that looks like a Cobra. Thanks for posting. . . . now I'm depressed. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, The Cobra is one of my Faves, and trust me, I know the feeling about lust for this car. ;)

Great car, Bruce! My all time choice for a fun car to have, except that no one would want to run against it! ;-)

[Dweezil]

I have the same camera mount on my car. By the way, mine's the inexpensive one on the right. lol I like to think of the Cobra as my Miata's big sister...ok, that may be a bit of a stretch...

The Cobra will be mine one day...yes, yes it will...

Thanks Frank, I think the ratio of fun per mile is WAY up there. ;)
Chuck, The owner of this car, actually races this one. I think He mentioned Willow Springs. (I must take notes.)
I can only imagine what an "Adrenallin" Rush it would be to push this car around the track at speed. :shock:

I can only imagine what an "Adrenallin" Rush it would be to push this car around the track at speed. That's why I started racing! No police, & 13 turns after every straightaway!! :D:D:D

I hear those Miata's are quite competitive. ;)

[chris.bailey]

My dream garage would have one of those (AC tho) and a GT40 in it and a Mura and a.....

They can be. I won two St. Louis Regional CSP Championships, and placed second in a few National events with her. My friend (RIP) had a blue Miata with white stripes...just like mine only blue, and we turbocharged his. I autoxed it a couple of times, and my neck hurt at the end of the day from the acceleration...pretty crazy. Here's my meager "ode to my car (http://hobbystage.net/miata/lola/)" page.

Dweezil, I think it's time to innoculate yourself against this "disease"! If you don't trade it in for a nice VW (NOT a Mini!), you soon won't have any money left for "L"s! :D:D:D
