    Australia's most reputable and independent motoring experts bring you the latest car reviews, comparisons, news and auto content.



    Completely off the wall. Ive always been a fan of the Cobra body style, but I think this would be a hell on wheels. All that HP in a light little roadster?!?

    But damn!

    I remember reading that! Crazy stuff.

    that article's a year old. Anyone know if they ended up building them? The company website's not much help.

        Completely insane, love it. But 5secs to 200k's would be quite optimistic I rekon. Wheres that grip coming from?

          That is a FFR kit just like mine..I know a dude with a V-10 Viper motor in his..known as "Double Venom"..

          No matter what HP ..the top speed within saftey is about 140-145..MPH ..TOPS!

          I had mine up to about 140 in no time and had PLENTY more to go, BUT..like everyone else I know with cobras...without air foils and shit..the car get's uber squirelly at 140+..the front end starts to lift and you can feel the steering starting to slip...that's not good..

          trust me..these cars are not made for that kind of top end...

          The 0-60 times are sick, and your doing 100MPH+ in no time..but I took it as far as I want to..140 in that thing is plenty!!

          I don't want to die..but what a way to go..eh..

              After owing a badass Vette since '93.

              There is one thing a Cobra can get you faster than a speeding ticket..

              ..PUSSY!

                Thats 200k's bill, or ~120mph. Cobras haul no doubt, but 120 in 5 is hard to fathom. I'd love to build one up one day, but I'd be happy with a regular 8.

                    Impractical, over-powered, and way too fast - what's not to love?

                    Very cool cars.

                        but Cobras aren't big cars..... they are little cars with big engines.

                          Exactly..here's a tip from your Uncle Bill Z Bub..

                          THINK before you speak..you think that piece of ass would be posing next a ...ummm..a Crown Victoria??

                          I wear my Cobra like a tight pair of pants..mainly due to my ginormous, Eggplant sized man gurd.

                          It's a true pussy magnet..I need bug and pussy remover spray for my windshield..

                          But I don't need "pussy"..I'm happily married to a hottie..and I'm a good boy...but I likes the attention..and it certainly gets that!!

                          Just look at me 24seven..I'm awesome..you know you want me..prolly 24/7!!:ROTF:

                              Been looking at the factory five models. I would buy one of those or a GTM in a second if I wasnt 6'4". I probably wouldnt be able to get my right leg in the car.
