Correct me if I’m wrong but Shelby was a different independent back then but worked in the gt40s to improve them and then they were bought by ford or something
The Ford 289 has one of the best bore to stroke combos ever made by an auto manufacter. I miss this sound.... reminds me of my 67 mustang. I loved taking it out on back roads. Sadly though, emissions standards came a long and killed a little engine that could. Thanks for the video....... still a very nice memory,

Wrong. Everyone knows you stay in the middle of the road. All of those wobbles and nearly crash situations add up to NOT WORTH THE RISK. If you CUT corners you finish 5 minutes slower than driving straight down the middle of the road.
@@dreyn7780 Sorry, but the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line - desirable. Taking a corner following the center curve is not the shortest distance - undesirable. That's why the quickest drivers in a race have learned how to approach, set up for, and cut the apex perfectly. If there is a sports car track anywhere near you, just ask people there who either teach road racing courses or are drivers, they will confirm just what I have said. Good luck!
It’s doing a good job cornering for me … remember that this car it’s a pure machine , not assistants like new cars , (maybe this car have an upgrade ) nor power steering , and let’s face it ! Who cares ! This video it’s about that awesome roaring and backfires , 😃👏
Holy handful. THIS is where art and skill intersect. Great video. Next time anyone’s impressed with all those Lambos and glittery 488s being driven downtown with Daddy’s money, remember this car and this driver. Different planets.
@@dreyn7780 Ford had absolutely nothing to do with the Daytona Coupes demise! Shelby American made the car, it more than achieved its purpose, and Shelby then became totally involved in making the GT40 MK II his priority.
These cars are being built by Superformance, under license, so it's very closely modeled on the original, but available, now, for $189,000 USD and up, depending on options. Air conditioning is available. LOL. Out of my league by a factor of, maybe six, but very, very cool!
This format of vid is really entertaining with the large clips of driving and the smaller clips of the car from the viewers POV next to the track. Really well done Bozzy! Also, thank you, this video made my day!
Nice, he put down some decent, clean laps. The 289 is an often overlooked engine choice because of it's small displacement, but it sounds fantastic and performs/reacts very well with some decent mods. You can squeeze out 350hp to the rear wheels with a decent cam, heads, intake and header back exhaust.
My goodness!! That's truly a thing of beauty!! Sounds incredible, QUICK!!, FAST, cornering so hard she's up on three wheels at times, that short-throw shifter, that body, THAT ASS!!- She's GORGEOUS!! What a great video!! I need to see if there's a video with a few laps around Nürburgring
And unfortunately the driver can't stay in the middle of a race track. He's constantly risking smashing it at every turn. Those 100 drives towards the edges add up to SLOW AND LOOSER
@BR-P-2001 // you are. Going close to the edges of the track, is a risk and that always causes crashes and loss of time. 1 mistake at the edge of the race track cause a big time loss which results in slower lap times than if you just slow down and drive in the middle of the road. You match yourself to what the race track designer has built for you to experience. You don’t fight the track design. You perfectly match the track. Your tyres are cold. You have 1 tyre really cold and 1 tyre really hot. Too hot. All 4 of my tyres are the same heat temperature.

Great video. And audio!!! I have loved these cars since I was a teenager, back in the '60s, and I am impressed by the quality of the Superformance licensed build. ALSO, this guy is really hustling that thing around the track, pushing hard, obviously having a great time! Bravo, Bozzy!
I can literally put this video on repeat and night time and sleep to the throttle pumping music it naturally makes. Nothing like it!! #backwhencarswereREALcars, not this eco/electric hybrid in today's automotive society.
This is the first time I've seen one driven hard -- many thanks. My first thought on seeing the nose rise under acceleration is that it's a darn good thing that a big engine's weight is keeping it from rising any more.
Great video. Idk if our driver needs better rubber and or wider tires though cuz brother was sliding that baby all over the course! Great driving! Whooping everyone out there.
Eargasm deluxe for any car guy!! ARe your mirrors positioned to see guys next to you, blind spot more than for behid you? Sound of a gen 1 ford or chevy short stroke...mechanical cam and close ratio stick will never ever get old
The 8 carburetors contribute to the sound. The side pipes may not even have glass packs. The side pipe exits are pointed outward, sometimes they are turned down to the ground to help eliminate some noise. Mine sets off car alarms at idle.
@@Loulovesspeed Thanks for that fact, I didn't know that specific. Mine had (8) fuel-injected "Webers". It was a bear to tune, and not worth it for street use.
@@BradThePitts No problem, for that matter, the 4 Weber carbs were not the easiest to synchronize either. But once they were right, they produced more power than say two 4Bl. carbs and with much better throttle response too.
@William best - There were no "road going" Daytonas. Shelby American built 6 pure racing Daytonas, all accounted for today. The replicas that are available today weren't made until well after the 70s. By road going version, possibly you mean the Cobra roadster?
@@bogthing1 OK - That was one of the cobra roadsters with the removable hardtop - totally different body than the Daytona Coupe. It didn't work as it still could do no better than 150 mph. That speed was not going to beat, or even keep up with the Ferrari GTO - its main rival. That's why Peter Brock designed the coupe version shown here. The chassis and drive line was essentially the same as the roadster, but the new body style was much more efficient in cutting through the wind and could reach in excess of 195 mph.
Looks like the ol' girl is a bit of a handful thru the corners but she definitely makes up for it on the straights that's for sure! Beautiful car and sound.
A fantastic automobile and true classic. Love the lack of driver aids and when real men drove race cars. Just like the Cobra. 289 was and still is a solid engine and better than the 427 in my Cobra. Cheers
A proper handful ! Looks like it understeers and then snaps into oversteer. He catches it though😬Top gear is not quite long enough also. Fabulous machine and the only car that passes him is another Daytona Coupe !😀
The sound of an old school V8 can't be beat! But I think that the gear ratios could be taller, since this engine has plenty of power and torque to move this small and light car into higher top speeds!
@Ray Boccino - An original Daytona Coupe - only six were made, put out around 385-390 hp from its 289 cu in V8. That said, even with only a 4 speed Bob Bondurant hit 197 mph on the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans. Wow! Shelby had plans for installing an all aluminum 390 engine, but sadly, it never was created. Imagine the top speed that would have achieved! One of my favorite racing machines ever, and certainly one of the nicest sounding.
@CJ-xx5msnope, superformance/A/C cars. Factory Fives have a flatter rear window, and dont look quite right….you can see the A/C cars ltd all over the place also.
@@dasboot9471 - It wasn't finished at all. Shelby made up a story that it was in an accident on the way to Le Mans and was wrecked. Peter Brock later told the true story that showed the car never received the many parts it need to be completed.
Yeah and ferrari sounds like a toy engine as well. It's just the size of the cylinder that influences the noise. You guys are moving into plugin cars soon anyway. These 2 million $ cars are going to be €30,000,000 in a couple of years.
@@literallyshaking8019 Yes, but Larry saw Peter's design and liked it enough to develop it further, and then it became the Stingray. They both were very much involved in the design.
All my road race experience has been illegal, to date. Would love a chance to run a track where I didn't have to worry about some random car making an appearance. Really open it up and feel the speed.
Certanly the original 6 coupes are not "Ford" cars per se, however Shelby was contracted by Ford to design and manufacture 6 cars so that they could compete in FIA championship races. Ford backed and financed whole deal.
In 1968, I was offered a chance to buy one of these cars. They wanted $12,000 delivered in Baltimore. Sadly that was out of my price range. Plus I had very little Ford experience. Instead, I bought a used Sting Ray to go to driver's school.
This is a proper sounding V8

@@GuidoF16 yea, shelby was bought by ford in 1968 so most of the AC cobras were powered by the 289 and 427 engines.
