2007 Shelby

2007 SUPERFORMANCE COBRA. This is a well maintained SUPERFORMANCE COBRA with all the niceties that they are known for. Not a home build, but built by the craftsman that build these to Shelby's exacting standards. This car comes with a full soft top and side windows. It also has a tonneau top to cover 1/2 of the driving compartment or the full compartment. Beyond that it has a heater and window defroster. Go figure but I have used them in the past. The motivation is where this COBRA is different from most others. It is powered by a 454 cubic inch small block Ford motor. Not a 351 or a 427. Professionally built by Coast High Performance that has been fully documented. All the dimensions for the assembly were furnished. Has a Isky solid cam and Red line rollers. The intake is a Edelbrock super victor . A Holley 750 cfm carb has been reworked by AED for both decent gas mileage and crisp throttle response with good fuel mixture through the RPM range. The engine has a 1 3/4 exhaust headers system that over sized mufflers have been installed. The mufflers have a 3 1/2 full flow with out any internal baffles. Unfortunately the exhaust is some what loud. The proof is in the outcome of the combination of parts. The car was dyno at Kennedys dyno and produced the following numbers. At the rear wheels the motor produced 495 horsepower and 496 foot pounds of torque. Allowing for drive line losses that puts the motor at around 635 horse power and 635 foot pounds of torque at the crank. All naturally aspirated old school stuff here. This is in a small block that doesn't have the all weight on the front end. This power is sent thru a Ram twin disc clutch protected with a Lakewood Scatter Shield Bell Housing. Power then goes into a Tremic 5 speed transmission. The transmission is shifted thru a PRO 5.0 shifter. Shifts are as smooth as glass. Faults with car. I am getting to old to care for this awesome vehicle anymore. The oil temperature gauge is no longer working. It does have a minor oil leak. Something fell against the left muffler and scratched the paint. The motor does easily over power the rear tires. Gas mileage is around 14 mpg. LOL if you can keep your foot off the fun petal. No accidents, no tickets, lots of smiles. Sold as is where is. No guarantee or warranty. Cash or certified bank check. 716-864-8181
