AC Cobra 427


When it comes to good looking cars the Cobra has got to be in to conversation. The smoothe, simple design looks incredible and front looks like nothing else giving it a completely unique identity. The big and bold pipes running along the side of the car makes it look like an aggressive muscle car just flexing its arms. Even the roll bar above the driver’s head looks like something we will  not be lucky enough to again in a production car. No the figures are not amazingly impressive for today’s standards but when this first emerged the speed was incredible but I could not care for the speed if I’m honest. I’m glad this car is not over powering in the delivery of it’s speed so the driver can enjoy the experience that much more. The big block V8 engine is a big loud and proud thing that makes your stomach tingle when you hear it. The 0-60 time is only 4.5 seconds which is by no means slow at all but when you realize that an original cobra is going to cost well into the six figure area, it depends if you want real speed for that money or a classic that will treat you right. You could pick up a replica for or between $30-70k depending on condition, which in my eyes is not such a bad idea. If you bought the original and something went wrong the bill would be as high as buying a Toyota Camry. That way if something goes wrong it still won’t be cheap but a great deal cheaper. The 7.0 V8 is going to sure drink some gas as well so I would fill it up when you see the gas prices are going down. This really is the perfect car to go for a drive on a nice warm day and just enjoy the freedom a car gives you. After all cars are made to get from A-B, cars like this are made for our enjoyment and pleasure.
