Phantom Cobra

Yep, that is the name of the limited-edition Cobra that Carroll Shelby himself had a hand in developing.

The most potent version will have an S/C'd 427 with 725HP!

Wait, I thought that was the whole point? :bigthumb:

I wonder how bad the wheels would spin if you punched it going 80mph....

Screw 80, I want to know how bad they spin from a stop, and if it can put that power to the ground or not. What good is it if you can't get grip???

Holy lord! that thing is just overkill. Daddy like. I also wonder if it can stay on the ground? Also wonder when the tranny tops out cause i bet it could do 200+ easy if it won't take off.

I'm sort of interested in what the engine and stick look like. Does it still have that awkward shifter like the old Cobras had?

it's most likely a different shifter...
that shifter was a mustang shifter (or something) turned backwards to work in the cobra...

i don't think you should worry about the cobra putting the power down.
on 60's technology and tires, with 500+ hp, it ran 0-100-0 in 13 seconds. that record stood for 30 years. and it won tons of races, so i don't think it's an issue to put the power down...

i'd rather build a kit cobra with a jag rear end for less...
