Engine & Performance:
Under the hood lies a professionally built, balanced, and
blueprinted 5.0L/302 CID engine sourced from a 1989 Mustang GT. The
engine has been enhanced with Edelbrock 2.02" aluminum heads, a
65mm throttle body, and a "3/4" race camshaft, delivering
approximately 400 BHP on pump gas. The setup also includes:
• 10.5:1 compression pistons
• MSD Pro Billet Ignition for improved reliability
• 5-speed Tremec T5 transmission for smooth gear shifts
• Ford Trac-Loc rear end with a 3:55 ratio
This car is equipped with Factory Five Racing (FFR) suspension
components, including A-arms, control arms, coil-over suspension,
and a 3-link rear setup with a Panhard bar, ensuring outstanding
handling. With the FFR bump steer kit and Flaming River steering
rack, every drive feels tight and responsive.
Exterior:
Finished in a flawless BMW Sterling Metallic Grey, this Cobra
replica turns heads wherever it goes. The header tubes and side
pipes are powder-coated silver, adding to its aggressive and
polished look. The car sits on stylish FFR five-spoke wheels
wrapped in Kumho 255/40ZR17 tires at the front and 275/40ZR17 tires
at the rear. Chrome accents, including the roll hoop, jack lift
points, and polished aluminum fuel fill lid, add the perfect touch
of class.
Interior:
The cabin of this Cobra replica is designed for comfort and safety.
Cobra classic low-back leather seats paired with Simpson harnesses
keep you snug during spirited drives. The dash is equipped with
Auto Meter carbon fiber gauges, arranged in the iconic "Shelby
Dash" layout, adding to the authenticity of the driving
experience.
California SB-100 Exemption:
One of the standout features of this Cobra is its California SB-100
C.A.R.B. designation, which makes it smog-exempt, a rare and highly
sought-after registration. It passed the Referee Inspection with a
modern EFI engine, setting it apart from many replicas that require
a period-correct carburetor.
