2006 Weineck Cobra Super Car

I always wanted the Pilgrim Sumo replica of a Cobra............but this has changed my mind me thinks

EDIT: Just been looking at the Bugatti Veyron. Its even got that beat :eek:

The bugatti takes a staggering 14 seconds to get to a mere 180phm

That should mean it will handle extremely well unlike other cobras

Nah you know that Punto is no match for a 306 DTurbo with screw mod!

Of course it ain't! He always gets smoked off the lights by them - quite literally

EDIT: I think OcUK Motors should club together a fund to buy an old 306 DTurbo and getting it going as fast as possible

NOTHING can match that!

why on earth??? a bit under engineered

better off finding a Roadcraft, DAX, GD or RAM. Any one of those was designed around high power US engines, sadly the Sumo was designed around a cortina/granada.

because i'm 6'4 and poped right into the Sumo.....the other seemd to be more cramped in the cabins

Whilst it does look a demon. I would rather race somthing that doesn't have a bum coming out of the bonnet obscuring the next corner.

I agree with FakeSnake, I spin in 3rd with only 280 horses - This thing would spin in 5th, and it only has 4 gears

I'd have any cobra, but that is awesome.

Slight blind spot on the old windscreen there, dunno if ne 1 else can see it... Maybe im just a Italian/German/Jap freak, i think that particular cobra looks, erm, yawn... like another fat american gas guzzler...

sorry to be a spoilt sport :rolleyes:

Interesting. You say it looks "american" - you are aware that the Cobra shape is based off the AC Ace, a British car, right?

I am sure DAX and GD do a longer internal cabin, that accommodates people like you.

Not a spoil sport at all, each to thier own. Personally, I would not have a Jap/German car as a gift, and the ONLY Itallian car I like is the Maserati.

If we all liked the same thing the world would be a dull mondeo driving hell

Am i going nuts, or does that say its 12.9litre :eek:

Sp00n · 30 Mar 2006 at 09:36

Big up to the 4 gears masseeve! lol.

That is a beauty, not entirely sure about the air scoop though but i guess its more practical than astethics.

Indeed. The 'leyland' headlights are a massive giveaway

N3M · 30 Mar 2006 at 13:34

Aye i know the cars rough background... but it still reminds me of an overweight yank... (strictly talking about cars here

).

Wonder how much chest hair you need to drive that

Referring back to your blindspot comment, considering you sit fairly low down in this, how can you see? That scoop will restrict ones view considerably.
