SWEET. Sounds fantastic. Sort of makes me miss my first car. I love the old V-8, no cat sound.
As good as some of the new cars sound, I don't know that they can compare to cars from the 60s and early 70s. Here it is embedded. I think it's cool that it's a small block car. I like this look.  more than this look.

Nice video, Paul. I have to say, I find Cobras very intriguing. Growing up with American V-8 hot rods, and finding sports cars later in life, the Cobra looks like a fun blend of the two. I would love to build a Factory Five kit or something.

Cool video. That thing looks like a handful on corner exits.

ERA is making "slabside" 289 cobra replicas now. Unfortunately, their outboard disc brake rear suspension is not available on the slabside.

Too bad about the brake thing...I do think the 289 was the more visually attractive Cobra.
But what do I know? I prefer the 911 lines without spoilers, flares, or stripes.

I'm partial to the slower M or S in the background. My Dad had a 100-6 when I was a kid
