  • (part 3) correctly named Shelby Cobra however it can be AC Cobra because like I said earlier Carroll Shelby's dream car name was AC Cobra.

  • (part 2) was born. Then Shelby made some more modifications and before production started the engine had grown to 4261cc (260ci) then with that it made a 0-60mph time of 4.0 seconds. But then when it was time for the US Launch of the Cobra Shelby left AC out of the script and he also took off the AC badges of the car and replaced them with his own Cobra design and in return AC ensured all british produced vehicles lost both Shelby and Cobra names. So I guess you can call them either but it is ..

  • Lets end this argument. It can be called either AC COBRA or SHELBY COBRA because in 1961 Dave Evans an head man at Ford and Carroll Shelby, Shelby then hit upon the AC Ace. Both Evans and Shelby tied up a deal which saw Ford Credit pay AC to ship a complete car to Dean Moon's Venice workshop then Shelby used Ford's new 3622cc (221 ci) small block V8 to use in his new creation and he made some reinforcements but kept the same left springs and then the AC Cobra ( Shelby's name for his dream car)..

  • he's all "hey everyone look at my aids machine ooooooooohhhh shiiiiiittttt"

  • Ha Ha Ha drive a chevette next time asshole

  • if your not comfortable doing that in your car....DONT! drive smart and practice in a damn Empty* parking lot.

  • @chuckn52 idiot

  • @chuckn52 "There's no such thing as an AC Cobra, it's called a shelby cobra"?? you're retarded. theres a complete difference between an AC Cobra and a Shelby cobra. I bet you think Shelby and Ford built the car too, ehh? hahahahahaa go hop back in your srt4 you tool

  • it's always the people who think they have a cool car

  • Hey Dad. I got something to tell you. Just sayin.

  • Someone get this guy a Kia.

  • That is so embarrassing, plain and simple.

  • his hat flew off and he lost some downforce for the car and wrecked. You can clearly see the hat was the cause of the accident. The guy on the bike went and picked his hat up.

  • Dude we almost died"..

  • Classic ... Pure Classic

    Epic Doucheness.

  • loooooooooooooooooooser

    

  • what a douche!!!!!!! have fun paying that bill!

  • This is what happens when you get a lightweight car with rear wheel drive and a big powerful motor up front and someone who doesn't know how to drive it. Pretty scary because of the risk to people in the general area.

  • "Sir, I just witnessed your hat fly off your head during your accident. Here you go."

  • Comment removed

  • oh dear...

  • You know no doubt this sux big time what happened but man this guy was VERY lucky there was a high curb there to stop him, cause he would have went right through those bushes and nailed on of those cars parked on the other side and done alot more damage to his ride and someone elses.

  • @mrchillout1989

    My thoughts exactly :) 

  • @mrchillout1989 Slightly OTT but I have to agree with you.

  • @mrchillout1989 LOL FUCKING HILARIOUS!

  • @mrchillout1989 you might find it funny but its people driving it like this in the 60's that killed a lot of cobra owners, they just couldnt control the power.

  • High performance car with a low performance driver or steering wheel holder to be more specific...

  • sad day

  • If it were original, he'd shit himself...

  • hahahahahaha what a retard

  • ahahah...thats what you get for show boating

  • lol!! the guy on the bike took a peice that fell off!!!!!!

  • @kregjoint he was probs giving it to the driver...he was further up the road.

  • @kregjoint i think that might have been the dude drivings hat

  • @kregjoint It wasnt a piece of the car look closely its the drivers hat that flew off... watch closely :) LOL

  • @slurpy911 maybe it was his credibility that he spread all over the grass

  • @kregjoint i think he went to give it back

  • @kregjoint the peice was his hat that flew off lol

  • @kregjoint he was smart because that could be worth some money

  • Was it left hand drive or right hand drive? Left hand drive would mean it was likely a Shelby (which is actually an AC, but tuned and rebadged). Right hand drive was how the car originally came as the AC. The AC never gets the credit in North America. Shelby never built a car from scratch, all he did was put his name on them and tuned them.

  • @espjuan

    Wrong, when Shelby got through with the cars only the big pieces of sheet metal were from the original car, he didn't just "tune" the cars, he totally re-engineered them.

    It's a moot point anyways, it was a kit/reproduction.

  • @TheRedneckAtheist There is no engineering in a Cobra. It is just brute power. Same goes with American muscle cars in the 60s and 70s.

  • @espjuan

    lol

    Can't really argue with that.

  • @espjuan

    You're an idiot who has no idea what the word engineering means.

  • lucky that wasnt around her we have 6 inch high curbines hed need a new frame lol

  • Thrombox,

    I forgot to ask. Does it still have the racing cage and harness? Those would actually make it very safe in a crash.

  • @Yardjass Not sure it ever had a safety cage or harness. The seat belts are the ones that clip in the centre of your chest.

    Where can I get such professional vehicle training for a cobra in Europe?

  • @thrombox

    Honestly, I am not sure because I don't live there. Your best bet is probably google or asking around at garages and dealerships.

    Also, because of safety advancements, today's cars are much safer in a crash than cars from 20 years ago, which in turn are safer than even older cars like a Cobra. Does it mean you should be afraid to drive it? IMO, no. I'm a firm believer that the driver matters much more than the car but you should have these facts so you can make your own judgment call.

  • By the way he was driving it, I'd say he cares more about his hat

  • His hat flew off LOL

  • He would have been fine, it seems like as soon as he felt the car losing traction he got off the throttle, causing the car to regain traction and basically making him oversteer

  • A reasonable response time is one half second. He didn't know what happened until it was too late. An expert driver could have made it, but only because he'd know beforehand what would happen if he drove like that.

  • They're not "Unstable," they were made in a time where Traction Control and electronic assist shit didn't exist. They're fast, but they're purist cars.

  • We have an 5l AC Cobra in the family, I believe it was a racing Mk2 but has now been converted for road use but the original body and other parts went to another car after a racing crash so it is a lot less valuable.

    I've now turned of age to finally insure myself and drive the thing but I've been warned by several including my mother that the handling is terrible. Just why did this happen in the video, are they that unstable these cars?

  • @thrombox

    Driver error happened. The driver put too much power to the wheels causing them to spin. The driver then began turning to the right, probably to change lanes. The slight deviation kicked the rear end slightly out to the left. The driver, either not noticing this or noticing and panicking, responded incorrectly by letting off the throttle and perhaps depressing the clutch. The rear tires decelerated and regained traction, weight shifted, understeer, curb. Lots of factors, 1 bad driver

  • @Aplesause

    Let's put that in shorter terns, shall we? Another moron decided to buy a nice sports car and show it off without actually bothering to learn how to drive it properly first. I wish people would learn that having a large bank account does not qualify them to drive these things like race cars...

  • @thrombox

    The Cobra suspension is dated and it won't handle as well as say, a Lotus even though they have similar weights. Still, it is very nimble. The best thing to do with a car like that is get some professional instruction with it or at least take it to an empty parking lot or air strip and learn its limits in a controlled, safe environment. Like all other sports cars, it can easily kill the an overconfident, inexperienced fool but that doesn't make it inherently unsafe.

  • how the fuck did it manage to drive off after the crash??? lmao wtf??

  • why do people buy cars they can't control?

  • @tsirosgoddammit i'm with you mate ! that car is too beautiful to be driven like that

  • That short wheel base is a bitch isn't it?

  • Too much horsepower for the old man lol

  • i hope the grass is ok

  • Thank God he didn't flip in that thing. He would have been toast!

  • HA HAAA LOSER thats what cha get for showing off dumb ass

  • something broke off and went i the gutter. lol

  • MAYBE HE JUST SHIT HIS DRAWERS MORE TIMES THEN WE HAVE TOO! GET OFF THE STREET IF YOUR GOING TO DRIVE LIKE AN ASS!

  • WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!

  • do i like this cus of all the nice cars or dislike cus the cobra crashed idkkk

  • American cars can only drive straight. They cant handle turns and are shity as fuck on performance. get a important if you want pound per pound

  • @dzheng7 Learn to speak english first. Once youve mastered that, you might be able to buy yourself a better brain.

  • @03focussvt943 HA your a fucking white trash fuck face fag. craving for attention. look at your pos channel

  • @dzheng7 Awww, now youre resorting to racist remarks. How cute. Do you kiss your boyfriend with that mouth?

  • @03focussvt943 HA good one fucker. your probably some pussy ass white boy trying to be all badass behind his computer trying to start shit. And insecure cause your gay!

  • @dzheng7 a pussy ass black boy or any1 else couldnt do no damn better u try driving 1 u racist fuck

  • @ShadowGhost97 damn, you must be a loser. this isn't even your conversation. fuck off and go chat some where else!

  • @dzheng7 Lol, dude. I'm not going to go to the start of this conversation, wherever it is, but you're retarded. So just shut the fuck up and don't post here anymore stupid ass slope. See how much dumber I look by playing the race card? That's why you should shut up because you just come off as a moron.

  • @thing503 When you reply thats a conversation. So how about you STFU and mind you own business loser. In other words since your a dumb fuck and i made it clear that if its not your conversation dont bother and get of my nuts.

  • @dzheng7 Haha, your post made no sense. I said I wasn't going to address where this whole penis waving competition started. Get off your nuts? Boy, that's just wishful thinking on your part. Keep the trolling coming though. MOAR!

  • @thing503 Wow you Americans! fucking dumb stupid and fucking lazy. How about you go play your video games with your boyfriend. When you can afford a real car come and talk to me. okay mate! now piss of and go eat your cheeseburger bloody hell fuck

  • @dzheng7 Haha, I love the stereotypes that you throw in for free! It's like a package deal. I've got a '73 F100 that will dust your stupid slope ass rice burner.

  • @thing503 Bloody mate... a 73 f100 is a old car mate, maybe you can push it across the finish line. i thought you werent trying to have a conversation. Okay hitler there anit any germans around so how about you move on now and take your POS f100 truck redneck boy.

  • @dzheng7 Hahaha, try a '73 F100 a 289 small block swap, bored .040 over with high flow heads a tunnel ram intake and dual Holley 1250 dominator carburetors and an extremely high lift cam, forged aluminum 12.5/1 pistons and forged Thompson rods with a 302 crank and a 4 speed toploader trans.

  • @thing503 My subaru puts out 550 Awhp. But why wont you put up some videos up and stop Bull shitting around and let your cars do the talking. i like how you can read your owners manual though.

  • @dzheng7 Haha, definitely not from the owner's manual buddy. Especially since the main stock piece of the entire motor now is the block. I'm gonna stop waving my penis around, especially since yours has 550hp with no insight as to how it makes that power. Keep trying buddy, maybe some day you won't have to call it trolling because you might actually provide some facts instead of nonsense defecated through your mouth.

  • @dzheng7 Oh, and judging from your video, I would say that you don't drive a Subie. I would say that you drive a Honda Prelude. Especially since it's part of the description.

  • @thing503 Sorry mate but i do.. iDC if you believe it or not because no one gives a flying fuck about your dinosaur truck. You can really talk about your owners manual on your dinosaur truck but you still dont have prof. no one even buys american cars amymore beside you! seems like you love america a lot mate. than why dont you get of your fat fuck lazy ass and prove me wrong mate?

  • @dzheng7 Haha I'm beginning to think I'm the troll just because I piss you off so much. Look in an owner's manual. ESPECIALLY classic car, and it says NOTHING about aftermarket upgrades. I'm pretty sure Weiand and Mickey Thompson, Holley, and Edelbrock, aren't in the owner's manual of my truck. It's pretty funny seeing how terrible you are at typing. So what upgrades do you have in your Subie? I'm curious. I like talking cars so this is me inquiring about a fellow car owner's baby.

  • @thing503 in cause your wondering its got a piggy ecu chip. injen intake, greddy bov, 255 fuel pump, 850cc injectors, gt35 turbo, full greddy headers,turbo back exhaust, custom rods and forged piston, the list goes on its a stage 4 car.

  • @dzheng7 Haha, okay buddy, glad you finally got your pal to text you back. xD

  • @thing503 Why are you even replying back on a car you can even fit your fat ass into., ohh yea, thats right you drive a truck. and stop replying back remember this isnt even your conversation.

  • @dzheng7 Haha, dude. I'm a pretty skinny guy. I only weigh 128 pounds. Why do you keep dodging the question? What does your 550hp Subie have that makes it that powerful? Why can't you answer?

  • @dzheng7 actually the AC cobra dominated road racing back in the 60s against the Ferrari and etc. That does not mean they were easy to drive, the 427 was a butt fkn handful in such a light car. To make the existing problem even worse, modern day beer belly heroes are trying to add even more power than the already super sketchy 427 to the replica chassis. 462bhp 800tq and 2,300lb from the factory is a hell of a power to weight ratio assuming that is what you meant by "pound per pound"

  • If you guys didnt notice,he press the breaks cuz there was a guy crossing ahead.

  • @ tjstevens74

    We just dont know broski, we just dont know! Lol

  • Just saying but it was probably a replica anyway, so not a whole lot of harm done. But I wasn't there so who knows.

  • you fucking suck at holding a camera.

  • He didn't even checked the damege of the car just kept going on. What an idiot.

  • *Drives off ashamed*

  • Usually the ascention through the rabble to be as to afford such a car brings a certain stable hand at the wheel. Too bad there are those Internet wonders or genetic mutants inline for money that want to tread where real men have come to call home. They soon become apparent for that which brung them (American term).

  • VrRrroooooooommmmm...kachic...­kachic...

  • More money than ability.

  • That was probably millions of dollars in Ferrari's in the beginning

  • NOOOOOOO!!!!

  • 0:49-0:51: look closely, the driver loses his cap. oh yea he needs new wheels now.

  • Do you know the song,To much torque will kill you....... :-D

  • i dont know if it had power steering or not, but if it didnt then he's clearly a DUMBASS!!!

  • dont drive something you cant handle

  • what car at :14 the silver one?

  • @AnonymoussourceL0L - The car is a Daytona Cobra. I believe there were only six made in that configuration.

  • @JAG312 might be, but I think the cobra's backside is shorter.

  • @AnonymoussourceL0L

    I'd be surprised if it's a Cobra or Ferrari.

    It's almost certainly a Bizzarrini. Google 'Bizzarrini GT America GT' or 'Bizzarrini Strada'.

  • he needs a 1.6 saxo

  • I just teared up :'(
