  • you shouldnt cut corners on such a busy road thats how you get yourself killed...but otherwise i love the video...btw i cut corners all the time but in my shitty ass 86 honda accord.....carbureted..lol i hate hondas

  • Great camera vantage point.

    Beautiful road.

    Thrilling excelleration.

    Thanks for the ride!

    

  • @noclouds111 AMEN!

  • Haha, was that a guy on a bike?

  • I love this sound!

  • PLEASE upload a better quality video cuz this is the best onboard footage I've ever seen of a Cobra!!!

  • brave chap driving on the wrong side of the road in a powerful car.

  • that sound? aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ love it

  • cobras are fucking insane.

  • Would have been a blast to have that when I was in high school. Very nice ride.

  • fuck yeah

  • i bet the peeps on the bikes peed themselves as he flew by them!

  • Mmm, really cool vid but you should have toe/heeled it during the downshift, seems dangerous to lock up the rear like that.

  • makes me laugh how everyone is giving this guy a hard time about hogging the road like an asshole..I drive like that almost all the time BECAUSE they are BACKROADS. They are the closest thing to a track you can get if you don't have a track within 80 miles of you, which happens to be alot more car owners than you think. Backroads are not nearly as populated as main roads, hence why us drivers enjoy going balls out on them since there is little to no traffic 90% of the time.

  • People are commenting on the popping. That sounds to me like a classic exhaust leak, and not a characteristic of the engine. Notice it's when the car is de-accelerating. Cold air going in back through the exhaust and re-igniting. My guess is where the pipes meet the headers. A little popping is not all that abnormal, but that is WAY too much!

  • The "Pops" and "Pafs" add something extra to the video. It woudn't be so exciting without them!

  • LOVE the first gear pass so effortless

  • to jest to V8 pod maska i sie można pobawić

  • now thats how to properly warm up your wheels

  • Beautiful.

  • "Guy in BMW"...Let me go ahead and jot down the plate # lol.

  • 11 toyota prius drivers

  • Wonderful car ... The Cobras are amazing on so many levels ... However ... Blasting down a 2 lane road with opposing traffic and bicycles (and pedestrians) is a fool's game ... I want your car, but I don't think I would ride in it with you.

  • @hammerogod PUSSY, its his insurance, his money, his responsibility, LEAVE HIM ALONE

  • Przepiękny dźwięk siliczka :))) miodzio :D

  • I love this Vid! watched it for a hundred time, at least.

    Best Sound ever and a great driver!

  • Should be arrested for nearly killing multiple people.

  • @thetvirus

    I fully agree ... That car was not intended to be driven in traffic with Bicycles and opposing traffic.

    Anyone who uses a Cobra that way should surrender the title to me.

    Ooh Rahh

  • THE BEST CAR EVER ....... THRILL & PASSION... Congrat !

  • Steering with the gas pedal. I love it!

  • The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car ;-) nice motor though.

  • use a race track and have a real go piss poor effort

  • Holy shit, what a sound!! I love your car, i love all cobras, beautiful engineering :)

    Peace.

  • Great car, do you still have it?

  • Great ! No wind in the microphone, the sound is really good.

  • Beautiful car and nice driving.

  • english styling + american power = my all time favourite car

  • Those roads suck, how did you open it up?

  • Body by Bristol?

  • The bodies were produced in a little village on the Thames, called Thames Ditton in Surrey. I used to cycle past the factory in 70's and see restorations and the production AC3000ME through the open Cart Doors (was an historic building).

    But what I wanted to say was - typical, whenever you want to get your foot down, always so arsehole dithering about in front of you!

  • wat an amazing video gotta love that sound

  • Minibikes and atvs are illegal for the street for the same reasons that these road bike assholes get away with! funny how laws work huh

  • One of the more enjoyable Cobra vids on the net. Sweet!

  • well anyways i hope those cyclists enjoyed the beating they got from the sidepipes going by....lol

  • This guy is a legend

  • @TheBEAR144 Hell ya, I guess what's the use have having a cool toy if you don't play with it.

    

  • Bicyclist need to go in the fucking bike lane, get a mountain bike and get lost in the woods

  • 0:54 yahoooooo!!!

  • Even though the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car and the nutcase is on the wrong side of the road(I live in the UK)That chap is giving that AC Cobra a good spanking up them their roads, even getting a bit of wheel sqeeling going on their John Boy.Shit give some brother some slack Jack .this dude is F***king cool.

  • Try STAYING in your fucking lane you imbecile. Don't go racing public roads if you can't at the very least hold your lane. I feel especially bad for the road bikers, as a fellow biker I can attest that dick-weeds like the on in this videos are the worst hazard for cyclists.

  • Try STAYING to the side of the fucking road you imbeciles. Don't go cycling on public roads if you can't at the very least stay out of the way of traffic. I feel especially bad for other car enthusiasts, as a fellow driver I can attest that spandex-clad cunts like the ones on my street every summer are more detrimental to speed than stop signs!

    just messing with you lol, but if you're one of those psychotic "I'm the next Lance Armstrong!" cyclist types that hogs the entire street, go to hell :)

  • @phector2004 Nah, but this guy IS driving like a complete asshole and you know it. It's called 'sharing the road' and 'going to a RACE TRACK' for that kind of behavior. It'll catch up to him though.

  • @akirasovan its a little hard to keep your lane when you have that much horsepower, how about you, as a cyclist, stay on a fucking sidewalk, roads are for cars, not bikes.

  • I can only hope that you severely injure a cyclist or jogger with that mentality of yours.

    BICYCLES are considered a means of transportation and are legally defined as having the same driving rights as automobile operators. You're just a fucking loon though, an overweight gear-head that wouldn't understand true cycling.

    Distances of 20-40-60 miles in a day, NOT on sidewalk you freaking 'tard.

  • @akirasovan big deal, maybe i am a gear head, and im not overweight im 170 lbs, you wouldn't know a drum brake from a disk brake, its because of assholes like you that try and hog the road with a bike that they do get hit. So stay on the sidewalk and you dont have to worry about gear heads like us running you faggots over.

  • @CJO740 Like I said, with that attitude I hope you put yourself in jail for a long stretch.

  • @akirasovan yeah, sure..................

  • "BICYCLES are considered a means of transportation and are legally defined as having the same driving rights as automobile operators. "

    No one cares, go ride your bike in traffic.

  • Asshole.

  • according with you!

  • Best ride I've seen on youtube!

  • Nice noise mate

  • A lot of gear changing for no apparent reason, but with an exhaust note like that who can blame him

  • Stats from way back SC can do 100mph

    in about 7.5 secs.

  • I LOVE THIS SOUND!!

  • Cobra and Harleys- Americas music. This ain't no european violin sonata. It's a full on metal blast.

  • you do know that the body for the Cobra came from England right?

  • yeap AC

  • @Viking445 you do know that Shelby/ford owned the rights to the cobra making them American right? and that the 427 body/chassis was engineered and designed by Shelby and ford then the plans were mailed to AC cars inc?

  • @ls6cobra Your thinking of the MKIII. The MKI the start of the cobra was basically a AC Ace with a ford motor in it.

  • @Viking445 you are right the 1962 cobra was just an ac ace with a ford 260 in it, then they came out with the 289's, in 63 and then the 427 in 65 which was an all ford designed chassis with a jag rack and pinion, coil overs and full independent suspension, and I'm pretty sure that's in this video is a 427 replica... but I could be wrong.

  • @ls6cobra Ya i think all of the modern replica's are based on the MKIII 427 look.

  • @Viking445 the ac cobra, yes. and then shelby helped to make it stronger, as i know.

  • @Viking445 oringinaly called the A/C ACE

  • @Viking445 Yeah, the cobra body came from England. Thats like saying Gisele Bundchen is only sexy because of her lingerie. Point is that nobody would care about the little AC car if it had not been massaged by Carroll Shelby. AC built a car that was cute. Shelby turned it into a beast.

  • Man that car sounds pissed off...LOVE IT! Nice dash too!

  • Sounds like he has a exhaust leak, hence all the backfires. My Corvette sounded like that too till I got the exhaust fixed. Otherwise Sweet ride man

  • LOVE IT!

  • Had me on the edge of my seat. Sweet sound too.

  • 5*'s. What a noise.

  • has to be the best sound in the world

  • There's a lot of downshifting on normal streets, that's a given?

  • Perfect Sound!!

    Perfect Run!!!! 5S.

  • skasidia san mpalo8ies se kritiko gamo....

  • I guess that these sounds when you stop accelerating are flames from the sidepipes .From the exhausts

  • the car sounds great!

  • demasiado envidioso por aki...

  • That is also proper way the road is build and where the cars drives, left way with steering on right, as it should be everywhere.

    And yes, it's properly, unlike british ways, they should remake it in England.

  • the driver at 0:54 must have thought for a second, ''what in the hell was that?!?''

  • he is kind of a bad driver but i will give him credit, ever driven a true 427 cobra? they are not the smoothest driving car. that pop pop is just the side pipes.

  • Oh for Pete's sake! Another knob in a Cobra! Dude, ever heard of S M O O T H control inputs? Car sounds nice though! At least he wasn't coasting through the turns like the last video I saw.

  • At around the 1 minute mark, he nearly loses it due to coming into corner then seeing the bike,then oncoming truck with hey on it.

    What an idiot driver, I can only hope that if he crashes he hurts only himself an not other inocent people!.

    I know how he feels, big loud V8 in shitty handling car,it can be fun, but sure is stupid.

  • engine needs tuning...pop.pop.pop....hee.he­e

  • aouhhhh!  :-)

    very nice

  • the road is nice place to drive, but the cobra sounds like the carberator needs tuned.

  • shitty driver!!

  • You have no idea how much of a beast this thing is!

  • with this car is so hard to drive curves

  • sounds like your car ate at chilis the night before.

  • your a wild thing!! sure sounded good.

  • God Dam that sounds good

  • No rice burner here! You've got to have some hair on your chest to drive this bad boy. I've you haven;t driven American iron before this one will get you in trouble. 389 Tri-power GTO owner.

  • thanks for giving me another car to lust after. I don't know why this car popped up on my radar recently - the sexy retro 60s styling, the earth shaking v8....love it!

  • why do you keep shifting your hands on the wheel? With those corners you did not even have to let go of the wheel or barely even shift

  • May you please send me this insane Video via email?

  • Thanks everybody for your comments. This is a old, old video from 1993. In fact thar road doesn't exist today and it was replaced for a 4 lane motorway. A blown exhaust seal was the cause of those ¡ pops ! and ¡ pafs ! that you can hear. It was the first test after a restoration and some minor work was done after this little blast.

    Cheers,

  • @barketero the road had too many corners, got any videos where you let rip [just went for it. cool car

  • You lot must drive shoppin trolleys.(Hatchback cars with a spoiler/airdam on the back) of course its a kit car.but a nicely done one.My ol' mate has one of these things and they are a bit bloody liveley around the corners.Recording the fantasic noise fron an open top car is 'ard work lads if you 'aint got the right tools.

    I bet you a pound you would be be'ind the wheel of dat motor, rather than the chap drivin' it.you gotta some kind of t**t if not.

  • This is a original AC-Shelby build since '98 ,dunno what year this one is from .

    But is isn't a replica unless he stripped a real one to make this one..very unlikely!

    It's a brand new one , especially listening to the engine. People should know if it's your job! can't believe some comments here!

    Also , driving..he's using it as a street car , not a racing car . Probably u guys haven't even driven a shelby on these kind of roads with such traffic or your nuts as hell!

  • THe engine doesnt sound really healthy. But great video

  • This fellow clearly doesn't deserve to be driving such a car. I could drive a shopping cart down a hill with no steering or brakes better than he can drive this car

  • LOL ROTFL

  • is this a replica then?

  • this guy couldn't drive 2 save his life and look how he if holding the steering wheel what a retard but the car sounds nice

  • that looks like a good way to cure a hangover

  • OMG! HEar at that backfiring every time he lifts the throttle!

    Or is it something else??

  • How many times does he have to grab the shifter? He has enough power to run that car in fourth the whole damn time!!!! Needs to have a driving lesson.

  • へたすぎ

  • A classic example of some one who cant drive, all over the road on blind turns. Idiot...

    And yes I have a cobra and race it on the track...

    ERA car #626

  • Bollocks

  • more please.

  • my god it sounds magnificent!! lol at 1:00 when cyclist looks back at it as if saying "what the fuck was that sound??" its probably not wise to ride a push bike around the car like this when it roars its way through!

  • voiture de mé réve !!!!

  • bobbailey111>> yea ok.... a misfire lmfao hahahaha. omg dude, u dnt even no what the hell u r talking about. theres absolutley no misfire ahahaha. and a vacum leak??? yea cause theres emission controls on a fricken race car right??? they didnt start using that till 1970. only vacum controlled things on that car would be the tranny and distributor, and yea its all working fine.

  • OKay cool, it does sound very tough!. I like it.

    Just some of the othe cobra's on here seem to sound a little more crisp, and be a bit faster or something.

    Either way its pretty cool!.

  • Have anyone of you (I realy wish I had one but can't afford it so I'll slag it off) T**ts driven or been in a Cobra? I didn't think so. 'the steering looks sloppy'(geek) 'it's got a blowing exhaust'(dickhead), Hopeless driver(bloody hatchback driving a**hole.

    And yes I have been in a real AC cobra as a passenger and it was terrifying but real fun at the same time a mans car, not for hairdressers:-)

  • Nice car.Cutting those corners on those blind curves was a little scary,especially when he blew by those cyclists. No room for erroe dude!

  • And that is not a fucking exhaust leak. The guy has a misfire in high vacuum when he lifts, but that car is not malfunctioning in the slightest. That car sounds like the fucking apocolypse. Wow.

  • Hopeless driver.Learn to drive dude.

    Missfire in vacum sounds like a malfunction to me!.

    Although it Sounds more like a muffler leak to me!. It does not accelerate very hard, and sounds out of tune.Also The motor does not rev much compared to hot Cobras!.

  • You realize this car likely has no muffler and is probably running traditional side pipes right?

  • bobbaily, the high vaccum misfire can be removed on an EFI engine by artificially cutting off the injectors below a certain intake manifold pressure. On a carbeurated car, you can't do this. Without catalysts or mufflers it sounds even louder. But it isn't a defect.

  • Yeah coool.

    But still the steering wheel looks like it has a lot of slop in it.

  • I came.

  • the sound that engine makes.... aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Exaust leak-my ass, have you guys/girls(pc hat on) never seen a proper car with a proper motor under the hood spit flames when the throttle is shut.You get that popping noise.Anyone thinking the exhaust is blowing is a right plonka.....Just enjoy it

  • exhaust leak lol lol

  • Here is the reality of the situation! You can modify, turbocharge, tweak, have fuel injection, or whatever. The plain truth is that there is no substitute for cubic inches! Once you have them,you can go from there and do as you please and are limited only by your budget and imagination!

  • This is How all Vehicles should sound.Bollocks to the Ozone layer carbon emissions, this is pure car porn.

    (anyone dissagreing with this is a tree hugging Suv Driving Euro Diplomant Asshole)Fucking wankers Ruening my Beloved Country.

  • well said mate

  • Heh heh, "car porn". I got a woody just watching this. :)

  • damn straight! I would trade in a life time of sex for a cobra! lol

  • Couldnt agree more. Enough of these Hothatches, THIS is a real car!

  • Oh my F***kin God. NOONE can compare a Cobra to a Mazda RX7 and live to tell the tale can they?

    That's brute force under that bonnet not some Jap tin pootle engine. Shesh.

    Absolutly AWESOME! Not many could ignor that goin dow the street. Best of all these chavs in their bolt on cars would be embarrased dragging you in one.

  • all you guys "fix the exhaust leak" LMAO!!!! go watch fast and the furious a few more times, u duno what you're talkin about! hell even my rx7 does the popping sound.

  • tnis is harmony....

  • purge98, your face looks like crap you ass fuck. You don't know real power and sound!

  • Sounds crap....Get the wheel straight for christ sakes

  • WHAT?! you mad? Sounds amazing!

  • He got a shitty watch as well.

  • If you want to ride along in a Cobra this is the one to watch. Good mixture of fast yet safe driving.

    Thanks for sharing buddy.

  • the best ever sound ever.Absoulutly loved it.more more

  • btw... Rogerdiddy, he barely had it over 40! Mellow out.

  • What rbmead43 said...

    If this don't give you Grins, call the coroner.

    MORE... MORE... MORE... 5*

  • he's running open tubes thats the popping u here when he lets off the gas temp. lean condition.

  • Tears of Joy! it could be about 1 hr longer.

  • My god, that engine sound is awesome! I want one! Though the chances of that happening are nil LOL

  • Retard the timing a lil'.

  • Really xtreme, awesome sound, fantastic those H.O.V8... and I think that the road is in the Rias Baixas isn´t it? and i think that i know who´s the man at the wheel....is the only Cobra in Vigo....

  • I think the exhaust needs to be fixed and is your steering wheel straight?

  • minchia..

  • I like the car, like the sound, don't like the location. Too many innocent folks on that stretch of road. Take it to the track.

  • sounds like an exhaust leak

  • Nice backfire! It might be time to tune that turd!

  • that engine is mean

  • Sound!

    So genial! Alter! Du brauchst nix zum Vögeln sondern mehr Benzin!

  • The Best !!! Perfect !!!
