[FLSHBK1]

A seasoned and aggressive driver, guiding a true road machine around one of America's best circuits. Everybody's fantasy is realized in this video. And yeah ~ I can see the "brakes gauge" resting at "0" on the dash! :-)

[superkart36]

I love carousel 9-10 and Kettle Bottoms. You can really light up your breaks going into 5 however. Great track!

[arthur1920]

Is it a Replica?

Great job hanging onto that thing.

[jspesh]

[MrKangaroo69]

[danelio]

[400SA]

Great footage! This Cobra is obviously well hooked up. The engine sound is heavenly!!

What rpms were you hitting in top gear on the straight?

[pencilneck22]

Woohooo!

[junkduma]

Hey great fun......lovely sound and quick shifts......

[rt2000pilot]

love that sound

[rtrestorations]

Nice laps.

[34D2234]

one more gear would of  made it fly!

[twinturbo331]

Thanks, I really enjoyed watching that. Cheers.

[lifeisgood070]

not bad at all man

Where do I sign up for a track day here? I can't figure it out. Besides Laguna this track is one i really wanna race on one day.

[brynok]

That poor car needs another gear! I love this video though.

[1970chevelle]

do you have to run one of those big roll bars, or the stock hoop bar

[Davidik50]

I love Shelby products

[iloveclimberboys]

This set up is too tight. A looser set up in a cobra would be faster but the penalty is higher in fast corners like the kink. This track eats brakes, I was pumping them a lot in the video and I had smoke coming off the rear pads after this run. The track is smooth as silk, not bad on tires. It might look bumpy because I has a bit too much toe out which caused it to hunt in brake zones.

[boxer12fcar]

I assume you are braking everywhere that you are letting up on the throttle, even before the kink? what about the R&T bridge? just a tap there or more?

[marathonofdestructio]

How careful did you have to be on the throttle? I know those cobras have a lot of power and not a lot of weight, but I still see almost no oversteer coming out of the corners.

[davemonteau]

I just raced Road America in my CSX4878:my time was 2:48.46. Need a LOT more braking power. Have you upgraded your brakes? If so, with what? To what degree did you reduce your toe out and did stop the hunt?'Great video!

[boxer12fcar]

Nice driving. Like holding on to a racehorse. Is your setup loose? soft? track seems pretty bumpy. How is it on tires & brakes?

[boxer12fcar]

Is that the present track layout(bridges, etc)? Has it been resurfaced anywhere since this was shot? I am asking because I am heading to RA for the first time this weekend.

[RaceDeck]

Great footage! is that a Kirkham? Check out my Cobra video at Millers Motorsports park

[mustang68matt302]

Mother of God! I love this video!!!

[introvertical71]

Great driving.

[brynok]

only 4 gears...imagine what 5 would produce!

[Xangman1]

Great video - I would have liked a second camera on the speedometer as well.

It looked like he did the circuit in 2 1/2 minutes.

[iloveclimberboys]

The time is 2:30 flat. I was out of brakes at the time.

[robuk1981]

Good Job thats a real beast of a car you have.

:)

[997porsche]

way to prove that 'stangs are not track cars!

[MartySchrader]

Got a little squirrelly in 8 on the second lap, eh? Just now noticed this time through. Heh.

Gearing was pretty perfect for RA, though. Maxed out at the top of the hill, just before the start/finish line. Cool.

[MartySchrader]

Yeah, I also just now noticed how far back you were coming off the throttle for 1, 5, and 8. Too bad you didn't have any more brake. You coulda dived deeper for most of those turns if you could get the car to slow down.

[vansoth]

Awesome driving man, awesome car as well. Quite impressive that you were able to control a Cobra, seems like one of the most difficult to drive cars out there. Car sounds great too.

[cobra358]

a 660 hp 358ci detuned cup motor.

[brynok]

i was laughing with joy the entire time i watched this!!

[zeekstr]

AWESOME!!!!!  What do you have under the hood?

[snakkajak]

fantastic sounding car omfg!!!!!!!

[totallygonegearhead]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I wonder if we raced against you? Does the name Doug Hooper ring a bell. See a vid clip here called..."In car camera w/crash"

[cobra358]

I do not recall the name or recognize any cars in the video.

[427CQBRA]

Finally, a 427 Cobra video on YouTube where the driver really gets on it. GOOD JOB!

[MartySchrader]

Turn 5 must have been a joy w/o brakes. I could see how early you were letting off for all the tough corners.

[hwbuckbee]

OMG ..... I NEED TO CHANGE MY PANTS NOW

[jimkellogg887]

One of the best (if not THE best) road racing Cobra setups out there. Love the sound of that motor!!!

[Fastskippy]

seen this video 100 times and will never get sick of it. Sorry your selling it. all the best.
