Few cars in the history of the autoverse elicit as many fantasies
from enthusiasts as the Shelby Cobra. Although the original car has
long since ceased production, thankfully, incredible replicas are
still being made today, such as this 2001 Shelby Cobra Factory
Five. Painted in a beautifully classic Le Mans blue and white color
scheme, this car resembles the original but offers some welcome
modern features under its skin.
Inside, the black vinyl seats and dashboard are contrasted by a
wood-rimmed, power-assisted, three-spoke steering wheel. A trick
offset black-faced gauge cluster, featuring an 8,000 rpm tachometer
and signature 180 mph reverse speedometer, broadcasts only the most
essential information to the driver. Racing harnesses and a fire
extinguisher mounted between the seats are to be considered
essential amenities when approaching a race car for the street,
like this Cobra.
Under the reverse-hinged hood, we find a 408 cubic-inch overhead
valve V-8 engine. Beneath the Cobra embossed air cleaner and valve
covers lies a Sniper electronic fuel injection system that feeds
that V-8 before sending out spent exhaust gases through a set of
long tube headers connected to those incredible-sounding side
pipes. That classic power is then sent through an authentic
Borg-Warner T5 five-speed manual transmission, allowing you to
experience this Cobra as it was meant to be.
