    You'd drive the shit out of a blazer you spent $100k on?
    This would be one I'd dump $100K on, and drive the shit out of it!

    A real Shelby Cobra 427 is a rare and very expensive car now, with some going for a couple million dollars when sold.

    But you don’t need to. I have a buddy in KS who’s in go-kart stage of an F5 cobra. All in he’s at about $32K with a crate 351W putting out 800hp and quite a few truly custom bits.

    That’s a ton of power for a 351w…boost or nitrous?

    Roots blower with MicroSquirt EFI. Running a higher than expected compression ratio with a lower than expected boost and a super-light crank for a 7500 RPM redline. Motor stops as soon as you cut the ingition without any extra motion.

    He’s also working i swapping a Cat C4.4 into an older LR Discovery.



    Oh yeah, forgot the Cobra has Speedmaster downdrafts.

    My neighbor built one, looks exactly like the pic with the exception of the wheels, his have more of an original look, smaller dia and vintage-look tires. He did a phenomal job with all the little details on everything, including the interior. I've never been a kit car fan, but that one is impressive.

    I sent off for the brochure package last year. They may be classified as a kit car, but there is really nothing kit car about them. Lots of thought and engineering goes into them. Very well designed cars.
