- This video compares the performance of a 325 horsepower Factory Five MK4 Roadster to a number of modern American muscle cars, including...
* 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 392
* 2018 Ford Mustang GT
* 2018 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1L
* 2019 Ford Mustang GT350
* 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
In the end, the MK4's incredible power to weight ratio makes it tough to beat! Check it out and let me know what you think- - Авто та транспорт
HellCat Kitty!
Fun little video! I can appreciate the comparisons since I own both a 2017 (Supercharged) Voodoo GT350 and a Factory Five (supercharged) Coyote powered MK4. The Cobra with 3.28 pounds per HP I did see that coming! One of these days I'll track them and compare performance , it should be interesting since they both have traction and launch control.
Saul - sounds like you have a garage I can envy! LAUNCH CONTROL ON AN MK4 w/3.28 lbs/hp!!!! Wow - please share if you get some numbers - that would be VERY interesting - Your GT350 is a sweet ride too - thanks for the comment 😀
That means my 1.2 horsepower blender beats out all of these performance cars!
Let us know when you do a 0 to 60 test
Referring to Mustangs “as a safety notice, you’re going to want to be very alert if you see one of these leaving a car show” hahaha, true.
The appeal for the Cobra to me is the raw driving experience and not the performance numbers. That said, the Cobra is a really nice ride unless it rains.
Rain the fatal flaw
@@BalrogUdun soft tops exist
Soft and hard tops are available. The downside is people can’t handle power on dry pavement let alone when it rains. People are spoiled on ABS and all the modern features that detract from the real driving skills needed for a manual car.
thank you for answering all my questions about this build in this and the previous video thank you very much!
Love this, it’s surprising how many people don’t get this logic. I owned a turbo’d Subaru BRZ on E85, 450hp & partially gutted to 2,580lbs, yet soo many ppl would scoff & say stupid comments like “the mustang comes with more than that from the factory” or smile at stop lights because of the 2.0L. Until of course we pulled off the line.
The BRZ is a cool car / aesthetics are nice too / at 2580 with that setup, I imagine you were hard to keep up with! Thanks for the comment-
I completed building my MK4 last spring. I chose the 427 Z2 crate motor from Ford Performance. 535 HP 545 ft. lbs torque - Tremec TKO 600 tranny and Moser 8.8 rear end with 3.55 gears. Power to weight 3.92. It's a monster. Words and stats cannot describe these cars - you have to drive one, but be warned - if you do, you're gonna want one. It's nothing nice - no stereo, no power steering, no air conditioning. Hell, it doesn't even have windshield wipers or a heater. What you get for $60k is a primal beast. If you drive it and honestly don't like it, you probably don't have a pulse!
Really enjoyed this video, it really helps you understand the incredible performance the Factory Five roadster has. 👏👏
Its not so much the car itself its literally just the winning formula of big ass engine in a light car
Perfect UA-cam , good job 👍 keep like that , we enjoy with your COBRA 👍
Hey well done on the video. Love FFR cars and will get the type 65 kit when my business let me have free time. Thanks for making the video.
Thank you for your the videos
Car still looks amazing
Thank you for answering the big question.
Great video and comparison. Thanks.
Great information...loved it
I have a SPF with a stroked FMS 392/430HP. I have owned a C7 Z06, 392 Challenger, 94 Viper and numerous other pony cars, muscle cars and custom cars. The SPF cannot not come close to the Z06, straight line or otherwise and my HP/weight ratio is right there with the Z06. It would not just loose to the Z06, it would get destroyed by the Z06 0-60 and just get worse as the MPH went up. Compared to the 392 Challenger it would do better 0-60 but as speed increased it may get caught within the 1/4, would be VERY close. With that said I think the sweet spot for these cars are right around 500HP. I can actually get my SPF to hook fairly well with BFG's. Bump to 500, put something a little more sticky on it. I know people with 500+, well over 600HP replicas, forget trying to launch them. Some even have issues at 50MPH+ and without traction control that can get ugly fast. The lighter supercars with low HP/weight ratios are built in such a way they can launch hard without loosing traction. The Hellcat suffers the same issue, cannot launch with all that power (not stopping me though, I have a Redeye on the way). All of these cars are fun but sometimes the HP/Weight ratio is not the entire story. Factors of final gear ratio, trans ratios/shifts and the traction aspect all play into it. As other comments have indicated running these cars, or at least video a 0-60 (camera on speedo) to time the run. My SPF feel fast, scary fast, nature of the type of car, small open and loud but you may be surprised at the actual 0-60 time.
An excellent video. Thank You.
Thank you sooo much for doing this
Loved the video Taco Joe!!
That's one really sharp little car. Very Kool.😎
I've Always wanted one of these, and now that I've seen this video, I want one right this instant.
Also, how long did it take for you to build it?
Hi Ben- It took me about 3 years start to finish (I took my time). If you are ambitious though, you can complete a build much faster than this. Thanks for the comment!
I am building a B& B Cobra kit car 71 Boss 351 motor tko 500 with 373 poi’s no frills radio, wipers, or heater! Deciding on Holley FI or carb!
Should be running by July 4 is my goal 😃
Fun video. Thanks for putting this together, @Joe. I do think the objective numbers are misrepresented in the final comparison considering the other three cars all have a form of launch control. While a 500hp Factory Five will be spinning its rear tires at the starting line, those other three will be optimizing the application of horsepower to their wheels and taking off...
Hey Seth- I didn’t get into 0-60, 1/4 mile times with the last three cars because I didn’t have that data for a 500hp Factory Five and you are 100% correct: launch control will definitely make a difference. Where the 500hp FFR will shine against those three is a road track where the short wheelbase and horsepower can go to work - thanks for the comment!
Launch control is typically pretty good. One thing to note that the Cobra has a 52% rear weight bias, so from a vehicle architecture standpoint, it can put a lot of power to the ground.
This is a beautiful car and great piece of work. No reason for any sensitivity. Just be proud of it. Is that a real one? "It's not virtual, so I guess it must be!"
The power-to-weight ratio always was impressive. I would still want to know what kind of horsepowers everybody is using. And see what the wheel-horspowers are. Having said that, it always surprises me how a Porsche with a bit less wheel-horse than another brand can beat that other high-end brand, on a real race track. Probably drag coefficient. Whatever. This car here has always been my favorite.
I think you and I both would enjoy seeing a set of 2017 GT350 wheels and tires on your FF... Just for the weight factor....
I like the video. It's actually informative for a guy like me who's been looking into the FF Mk4. I'm actually in the market for one to enjoy the Minnesota summers. Dry days only...lol
Any suggestions, TacoJoe? I found a Mk4 with a 302 engine and a Jaguar rear end.
That sounds like a great combo / a 302 is perfect (IMHO). So far, I've been caught in the rain once but it was totally my fault (I knew better but went for it anyway) - Wierdly I didn't get very wet but the car sure did!
1:18 I wonder where Factory Five got that 2062 lb. curb weight. I’ve never heard of one weighing less than 2200 lbs. Mine is 2290 wet with one layer of Fatmat sound insulation. Small block, aluminum heads.
Maybe it had an aluminum block.
I've seen them down to 1815lbs
A 302 with manual brakes and steering. Raw aluminum panels and basic everything else. For the record mine is 2500 but I have a coyote, T56 and IRS so she a little fat. 5.45lb/hp is enough.
Thanks for posting all the great videos of your FFR Cobra build. Building one has been on my radar for a few years. One of my big interests is performance driving, not just straight line acceleration. I've had a couple of great sports cars over the years, and have spent the money and time in driving schools and track days to learn how to drive a car at the limit. Sadly, information on most all the current Cobra replicas (FFR, Superformance, and whatever else) regarding handling dynamics is not out there. Surely folks are taking these cars to track days, not just the drag strip. I'd like to build a Cobra one day, but don't want something I'm ultimately unhappy with. So, what do you think of your car's handling? Do you drive it hard enough around corners to have to balance understeer/oversteer? What is it's "natural" balance like in terms of understeer/oversteer? Will you brakes keep up with a track day? Is it a pig on roller skates when pushed hard? Is it awesome on a track and can do no wrong? I can't find answers to any of these questions on the internet, which I find maddening considering how popular these cars are. I'd really appreciate any info you have on your car's handling, or being pointed to info about the cars.
Hey Chad - I haven't autocrossed it yet but i can say with high confidence it handles well - when the wheelbase is this short and you have a light weight low center of gravity car w/fat tires, handling is naturally superior to most of the competition. Specific to the FFR: spring selection, alignment, brake bias and rear suspension all play into handling attributes and all are adjustable. If you take the time and set one of these up correctly, there's not many other cars out there that can touch it on the street or track.
Let's be honest, when it comes to performance, the Cobra is a monster. any addition of 50hp already totally transforms his driveability. but it doesn't have a lot of embedded technology, comfort limitation, and other attractive issues.
My dream is to be able to assemble one, using some technologies, premium interior, navigation display, sound system ...
I've got one, some guys in our group attempt the nice sound systems, displays, etc... The problem is you don't see them most of the time given the sun hitting them directly, and the sound system just becomes utter chaos with the fight over the pipes and the road. That is the real appeal of the modern cars. All of those awesome amenities, for sure!
Mustang Car show ref, was golden.
My bet is that once you've owned and driven a Cobra, even a 302 powered replica, you know, and cleaned your shorts out a few times. You can easily out drive any pantywaist "La Ferrari" driver who struggles to figure out the launch control.
Totally agree / the La Ferrari driver is likely frightened by loud sidepipes too so he'll be focused on rolling up the windows as you pull away
Nice job, enjoyed the 411.
my cobra replica has a stroked three O two to three forty seven cu inches. hp is around four eighty five.
Nicely done - think you nailed it. I have an FFR with a 347 and think it’s a good combo. I honestly don’t know how you’d get any more power to the ground.
347 is part of the my long term upgrade plan / any issues with it? (piston skirts / longer stroke)
TacoJoe . Sorry for the delay in my response - never got a notice about your question. My 347 is an Eagle assembly with fully forged and internally balanced. I have about 8k miles and over 10 years on it and it runs great. Never had any engine issues. With a Ford B cam, it has a nice lopey idle and love the way it sounds. I have 3.73 rear and the viper spec Tko600 (taller 1st) and think it’s a good combo overall. Definitely traction limited at this point, so can’t see the point in more power - guess something north of 400hp but never had it dyno’d.
I have a gen 2 Cobra , windsor stroker motor, putting out 500+. It's AMAZINGLY quick. What baffles me is some of these BMW, Benz, Vipers, Vettes, Porsche people etc ... just don't get it. I've blown them all away and have never lost. Amazing car!!
Well said / sounds like you have a nice setup too / thanks for the comment!
Keep in mind, these numbers are an FFR w the 325 NA engine. FACT- Texas Mile- Backdraft MKIV - Coyote Powered- Tremec5, 3:55 final drive. No Bugatti, Z06, Aventador, or even the GT2 Could touch it. Only cars that came close was a JDM GT40 and a 1966 Corvette twin turbo. The Cobra design is over 50 years old. And despite all the modern changed (Brembos, Fuel control, ect), the basics are the same. Shelby designed a platform that is still the benchmark so many are trying to reach years later. That being said, I also love the C7 Z06 and ZR1s.The LS/LT platforms are amazing. But bang for the price, you cannot beat an AC Cobra. And with a Coyote powerplant it will be the benchmark for years to come.
Well said and I completely agree- the Coyote motor is very well designed and yes- highly recommend it in a FFR too. You can drive that all day long, get good mileage, starts in the cold and no one can touch you on the street either! Thanks for the comment
I would love one of those but I just got to wondering what a 427 cobra would be like in a Ford Pantera.
Pantera's rule / awesome cars but getting hard to come by these days / thanks for the comment!
Your MK4 is a beauty. I have a MK1. The only drawback to the FFR Roadsters compared to the other cars your listed is that the other ones have heat and AC LOL
you can probably add them if you want to.
...numbers don’t necessarily tell the tale of the tape...I would have been nice to SEE it do 0-60 with times...and 1/4 mile....and drivability....it ain’t fun if these cars go weird on the road...a drive with a cup of coffee leaves at lot to be desired...but all your videos are really informative with lots of interesting details...very enjoyable
Maybe in a future video at the track i can get some real #s / this has a 347 in the future and it might be a challenge to put the power down / we'll see. Morning coffee and a drive through the country is my weekend routine
Factory 5 offer sensational kits including the Mk4 Cobra .
However there is a kit available in Australia & its a Aluminium Tub instead of a all tube chassis. Pretty sure the Aluminium Tub is going 2 be stiffer
The substantial weight advantage of the Factory Five should be a huge plus
on the track . The Cobra was built as a track car . On the track can this " cobra "
out - perform the cars referenced in this video ?
A properly setup cobra is tough to beat at the track. That Z06 is pretty quick though too - thanks for the comment-
Joe, some folks like myself, might want to know the cost, and value of such an adventure.. Have you had the Mk.4 appraised? Perhaps a video on insuring the monster, and the other issues concerning licensing, and what not?
Hey Brian- all great questions / i'll see what i can put together-
Yeah... I would be curious. I plan on building a Cobra Factory Five car in retirement in a couple years and I am curious about the insurance. Or should I say my wife is more curious than I am about the insurance. Great job on the video and the car. I plan on going the Coyote motor route myself. Thanks again!!
Brian/Alan - stay tuned / i'm putting together a comprehensive video right now on the topic and i'll be sharing it shortly / appreciate the comments-feedback!
this is not how you determine who would win
Hey Joe, what size tires and wheels do you have on your MK4?
Fronts are 235/60 and rears are 295/50, 15" wheels all around
Still dreaming hopefully one day will pull the trigger and buy one and if I do I hope I can fit I'm 6'8" 351lbs lol wish they made a slightly longer one for us tall guys
Fabulous
I want to build a factory five 65 just for the looks and experience of building own car. But for a quick buy get on the road, cant beat an older corvette . 60s corvettes $25-40k, 70s corvette stingray fully restored $10-15k, c5 easily go $5-15k, c6 $15-40k, c7 $40-75k.
Comparison of 427 powered car vs the others?
427 is a killer / I don’t have numbers it’s definitely with the supercars in terms of performance
Very believable comparison, and true enough....today's performance cars simply weigh too much. That all said, I submit that there is another criteria to look at besides the power-to-weight ratio. It's the ability of the car to put the power to the ground. Do you think the MKIV would excel here too? Example.....earliest Fox-body Mustang GT's were good for the day, but the 60/40 front-rear weight distribution and poorly controlled live rear axle overshadowed any power or power-to-weight ratio advantage it may have had. Aside....even if a heavier car can achieve superior power-to-weight ratio, the overall-lighter car will be much more fun to drive and will do better in all the other vehicle dynamics like better and faster direction-changes, cornering and braking, etc.......
Hey Wil- yes / your comment is very relevant to the MK4. I've read that once you creep over 350/400hp, traction is your biggest challenge. Of course a computer controlled launch will be superior to a clutch release - but - I also suspect a 500-600hp cobra is going to have a high trap speed (its not going to fade). There are some builders who have added traction control but i have no idea what the numbers are. Traction aside, i think if you put any one of these cars on a road track with a track setup MK4, the winner circle likely contains the MK4 - thanks for the comment
Power to weight ratio says nothing about traction, I'm not sure what the front to rear weight bias is on the mk 4 but hooking that power up is the king of stop light to stop light racing. While I'm sure that your numbers are correct in theory, a practical application would most likely yield different results. I love your videos though.
I just met Andrew with his recently completed Coyote Cobra. I was in my 250 HP 302 '70 Maverick. We were on lightly traveled city streets. Yeah we made a lot of noise, laid some rubber, but we didn't race or go very fast. We then pulled over and chatted about our cars for twenty minutes. Anybody who is racing stoplight to stoplight is nuts, especially in California.
Cobra: 52% rear weight bias. The engine sits back far, if the clutch explodes it's taking out your knees and thighs.
@@teesalmon That is what the aluminium panels are for ;)
Compared to other American sports cars? What American sports cars?
So what are your numbers?
Hey Tyler - I haven't run the quarter, but i did a 0-60 run with my GPS speedometer in 4.79 seconds (no launch and a 3rd gear shift). If i dump the clutch and rev through second, i'm confident i can run sub-4 seconds. Quarter mile best case is likely high 12s/low 13s
true enough on the numbers... but there's more to it than that. No doubt the Cobra's fast... but it's also traction-limited... it's just too hard to put the power to the pavement efficiently. And then there's the aerodynamics & ergonomics. Once you get above 100 mph, the front end gets light. Plus, it's not the most aerodynamic shape. Ergonomics also come into play... with the forward-canted shifter (unless you went with the mid-shift option) and the offset pedal box... it can be tricky to drive quickly. I had a Backdraft Racing Cobra for many years... all aluminum 427 Windsor stroker… 612 hp/615 tq. Yes, it's scary-fast... but also exhausting to drive. The wind, sun, & noise all take their toll on you. These days, I prefer my '04 Z06... just as much fun to drive, but much more comfortable. Enjoy the ride!
Well said Randall, thanks for the comment!
All cars are "traction limited". A Backdraft is not a Factory Five.
Take that to the drag strip and report back. Plus I can drive any of the cars mentioned to work daily with all the creature comforts.
Hey Jeff / check out my latest video....

Mine weighs 2200 lbs, '85 302 HO motor only way it's gonna make 325 hp is on Nitro going downhill with a big block car pushing it.
My F5R Mk IV Roadster weighs 4.3 lbs per horsepower.
nice hell kitten
Considering price and just that, this car wins every time, and in the long run pays for itself. Far less electronics so it's more reliable by default. Besides that, you're getting more performance for your dollar compared to the majority of cars on the market. The only con of course is that you can't daily drive unlike the modern cars because it doesn't have HVAC or a top. I know you can install those parts, but at the same time I wouldn't for sake of performance.
I am building a FFR with a soft top and heat. AC can also be added but I am in Texas, I wont need it much.
power is nothing without control... that cobra will have its ass handed to it by any of those other modern muscle cars on ANY track, especially the Z06 and GT350 because ABS, traction control, Dual Clutch trans or modern autos all out gun the power to weight factor... the replicas purpose is to look cool and take to cars and coffee, make noise etc... else we would see these mechanical relics winning weekend races on a routine basis... dont get me wrong... they are sexy as hell... but their time has past, admire it for what it once was... automotive art and music.
Sadly though, 12s on the street nowadays will get you smoked many many times over... I have a coyote with a paxton on it and I barely keep up with some of the big boys around here in the richer part of town... Fucking teslas are a pain if you're not paying attention... :D
R1T electric ,got you all beat. but i love the cobra.
Just how much money you bringing to this shoe show?
@@kramnull8962 i'D LOVE COBRA'S BUT i DARE TO ACCELERATE ON THE STREET TO 100 MPH IN UNDER 7 SECS? CAN'T BE DONE BRO
@@rivrat59 Well if you are going to throw money at anything. You do know the zr1 actually does the 0-100 in 6.1 and 0-100 to 0 in 10.3 seconds... While you are at it, that's before a stroker crank and a bore job... The 2020 will be faster than the zr1 anyways and cheaper than your wind up...
I'm not a Chevy fan, so that left a bad taste in my mouth...
@@kramnull8962 not on the street in real life . no heating up the tires just a spur of the moment drag race. the road is dirty hot or cold. ? you are into a pole spinning at 60 mph if your lucky. the street and the track are so damn different. I'm not knockin my favorite sports car. I am calling our real life limitations. peace bro
I would not waste my time on a smallblock I build a cobra 428 to 460 stroker 900hp in the cobra
The only problem with what you have assumed is, it's just on paper. That car won't hook as good as you think against the cars you compared. Show me real results not theory on paper.
Hi RL / the data I reference is real track data from Motortrend.com (check it out). It should be viewed as a benchmark as tires/temperature/humidity/etc. could slightly impact final times to the +/-. Unfortunately, I didn’t have 0-60 / 1/4 mile times for a 500hp Cobra so I was only able to compare power-to-weight ratios to the Veyron, Hellcat and LaFerrari. Thanks for the comment!
There's no assumption,,, ITS PURE FACTS!! UA-cam is right here, USE IT! The car does hook up, all bout the driver, Pump your brakes and stay in ur lane, you might wanna turn ur launch control on..because ur getting ah lil loose n sideways..
I have my MK4 setup with Nitto NT 555 G2's 315/35/17's on the rear and the 3 link suspension. 535 HP 427 with 3.55 rearend. This thing hooks up like you wouldn't believe. Before I drove it I thought it was going to spin the tires real easy - not the case. Launches like a slingshot. You almost have to deliberately try to break the tires loose. My 1970 Roadrunner would smoke the tires just getting on it. Not the Cobra - it just rips.
Cobras were built for people who knew how to drive cars fast. Unfortunately, many of them were sold to people who didn’t have a clue.
Agree- cobras can BITE!
Ok,now go to the track and race all 4 of these cars,,then let me know how fast your stock 302 cobra kit car is.
Thanks Joe- actually at the track it might be even quicker if its setup right, but the modern cars electronics are tough to beat because the compensate so well with traction / live suspension / etc - thanks for the comment!
Is this car street legal?
yes sir
@@TacoJoe did you have to do any mods to make it street legal or was it legal as soon as you finished building it
Hey dnl / in the US, every state has different laws to be street legal / in my state I had to apply for title and have the car inspected but It was no big deal / check your states DMV website for details
You just had to mention the Mustang leaving car meets but you left out the mullets for the camaro and the grey hair and gold jewelry for the vette. C'mon man! Use your stereotypes equally.

@@TacoJoe Good Lord, I hope not! Enjoy that FFR Cobra! One day I'll have one. I've been looking at those for some 20 years now. Until then the '18 GT will have to suffice.

Yeah, but now they're on women! :(@@TacoJoe
@@TacoJoe They have to with the price of cars today.... Poor barbers don't stand a chance...
Nice build but honestly I'm not sure where you got the numbers for your comparison but many people are easily running high 11s in the scat pack 1320 and the 18-19 5.0 especially with the 10 speed auto. Also the gt350 and the z06 would smoke you too. Nice car but any of those cars would smoke a mild 302 In a cobra. You can't just check off the box's in theory claiming you can beat these cars. Post a video of you beating a 10 speed 5.0 and a scat pack 1320. With a mild 302 you would get smoked by bus lengths. Maybe with a built 347 a cobra would keep up. I love the cobras and Daytona ffr kits but i would out a real motor in one. It just feels like you are justifying putting a crappy motor in yours by pretending it will beat all the new cars. Honestly a mild 302 doesn't even make 325 hp without head and cam upgrades .
All performance #s came from motortrend.com
@@TacoJoe probably a little on the conservative side for the numbers. Nice build though congrats . I would love to build a Daytona coupe eventually but am looking at a coyote 5.0 swap. Good luck .
Funny. I like the mk4 but u are not comlaring them to what this car and the rest u showed with an exceltion of the challenber which is race track not drag, any of those other cars would probably beat the mk4

At 500 the car is to light to get enough grip so really its irrelevant anyways.and thats from a fan of them
None of which have a usable back seat ... lol
might want to double check your figures...
Which figures? All data presented came from tests performed by motortrend.com

Thanks for the data / detail - where did you get your numbers - manufacturer website? That hellcat/demon is a sweet motor for sure / thanks for the comment!
Every single production car, mentioned in this video would destroy your replica, in any measurable road test. 0-60, 1/4 mile, whatever test you could dream up. And they would do so with their a/c on and stereo blasting. Not hating, I love the Cobras and the replicas, and I'm even building one myself. That being said, a factory production car, built for performance, will best a home-built performance car every time.
You don't know what you're talking about. Most race cars are "home built". This means it can be built with no compromises like government mandated b.s. that kills performance. weight = horsepower. Removing weight is like adding horsepower. The 3 factory performance cars mentioned are overweight pigs. The lighter the better. Have you ever heard of anyone trying to make a race car heavier? Anyone that says these cars don't hook up should keep their mouths shut until they drive one with good tires and suspension. The Mk4 tube frame is incredibly strong and rigid. No flexing unibody construction on a Mk4. With the Koni coil over shocks (provided in the kit) the car handles superbly. If you need creature comforts and electronic aids to make you drive proficiently this is not the car for you.
Jim Mag Doesn’t change a thing. Every factory built car, mentioned in this vid. would absolutely destroy his particular car, in any measurable test. Of course you could build a car to beat most mass produced muscle cars. In this case, he didn’t. Sorry that this fact upset you so much.
Metalcop FACT? Let’s see the real life data! Otherwise it’s your narcissistic opinion! In 1980 I had a falcon ranchero with a piss ant 289 that would run 11.80’s in the 1/4 mile! 2340 lbs w/driver
trailerpark cryptoking Completely stand by what I said. Every factory car, mentioned would annihilate this particular Cobra replica. A replica could be built as a world beater. This particular one in not. Not even close. You’re mad. It’ll be ok.
Best deal: buy a used Corvette for $15K
Yeah but what year
The newest one you can afford
C7s are nice rides / I have a C3 and a future project is to LS it (or maybe LT now...) - thanks for the comment
why don’t you put a 427 in it and be a man
427 needs some meaty tires on this best / my wimpy 302 can decimate the tires through 2nd gear - I imagine an 427 would do the same through 4th -lol
Cobra now is a toy.
No matter how fast.
You can not use it everyday
All the other cars you can .
