I am showing a cobra on a racetrack on a fun run.

I am not showing off my driving skills.

Driving was lots of fun, which is what it is all about to me.

Enjoy your car! The world is full of morons who (fortunatly) will never own one of these, but will put your driving down to pump themselves up. Just enjoy, as you were doing in this video!

Does any of the assholes here even know their shit about Cobras? Do you realize that if this car in the video is ACTUALLY a real one out of about 21 true Cobras that raced in the circuits, that this car is worth more than your house, and everything in AND around it? He's driving carefully because if he crashes it, he has to fix it. Which means spending ALOT of money.

Got a bit of trailing throttle oversteer there, I'd increase the front roll resistance and maybe take a dab of rear brake off it. If you left foot the brake going in, you can add some gas pedal then the butt is wanting to rotate and it'll straighten back up. It's like dynamically balancing the brakes with the gas pedal. It's relly best to set the car up to understeer just a little under brakes going in, at the limit it just pushes a little wide, a good driver can work with that easier.

Sunbeam tiger? Its an AC Ace.... if you are going to get all cocky about the body and chassis being British you might want to get your facts straight. (which was modified and made better by Shelby, just like he turned the mustang into a good drivers car from what basically was a girls car, and the GT40 for that matter.)

look at how it pulls away from everyone outta the turns....displacement baby!!!!

[TJvigilante]

@ayrtonmcrae At least he was out there with it, driving it like it was made to be driven. What have you done lately?

I used to autocross race a Porsche 911 in SCCA amateur events.

This 'regal snake' however is my FAVORITE wanna-have car! Like American MUSCLES in a British AC ballerina. I have 2 full-size poster prints, one a cut-away of the aluminum body showing the tubular skeleton frame and slanted radiator of the big 427 ... I wanna build one one day ... (in my wildest gasoline dreams) Oh, the music of a Shelby's pipes ... Thanks Losjaros!
