That red Superformance looks ace! And it's got a proper 7.0-litre side-oiler too?? No wonder you say "wow" when you drive it! Mine was enough of a handful...you never have a relaxing drive in a Cobra!
The reason I bought that over the usual Cobra reps was precisely because of the way it evoked the real thing. I can't be doing with all these reps with cream leather interiors and all that fluffy malarkey. The whole point for me was that it should look and sound like it was about to rip your head off, not look like Barbie's Little Cobra or whatever
Anyway, they must be doing something right, cos it's the only rep that Shelby actually licenced.
LM, I can't claim any credit for the Cobra as it comes out of the factory like that! All you do with a new one is drop in an engine and box! Bet the "build section" of the Superformance Owners Forum must be the most boring thing on the whole internet
Chris, that one in your village could well be a Superformance if it came from S A. Most of them end up in the US, although you can actually get one here through the official importer (Nigel Hulme, if I remember correctly). They also do absolutely superb Daytona Cobra reps and an incredible GT40 which is so accurate (steel centre monocoque!) that they all go on the GT40 register with proper continuation chassis numbers etc.
