Original 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C LOUDEST ENGINE EVER

1966 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C

Driving on the A287 near Odiham, flat out off the roundabout then stops in the road and floors it to about 120mph. You have to be there to comprehend the noise that this car makes. The noise itself is world renowned as one of the best engine sounds ever.

why do people always film stuff with the most shit camera they can find? 240p? really?

[fireblade1590]

@1grinder1 1. this was shot over 3 years ago so HD was still not very common. 2. when I went for a drive in this car i did not expect to be filming the journey so had to make the best out of what I had. and 3. when i posted this didn't wanna have to answer some smart ass question about the quality of the video in case you hadn't realised the movie was about the cobra not the quality and also 188,152 other people dont mind the quality so stop moaning

I noticed that you were off the gas when you started your acceleration. That 66 cobra could jolt 0-60 probably between 3.4-3.7 secs. if tail end can be pinned down though 4.0 is bad enough.

@joshua626 that is true i just watched it again now and realised!

@frank2398 Carrol puts his name on the reproduction ones. If you get one built by an officially licensed shelby builder, it's registered as an authentic shelby with the man's signature.

I can only assume that he selected the best builders and materials and are building them to his satisfaction to earn those accolades.
