Reasonably lethal Cobra

Step 1 - take one Factory Five racing built Cobra.

Step 2 - add fuel-injected 460ci motor.

Step 3 - drive everywhere sideways with the mother of all grins etched permanently into your features.

Engine is in a pretty mild state of tune, so only 560 horsies to play with. Still....I bet it's enough to get such a small car into serious trouble

Power is sent through a Tremec 5spd to a 3.08:1 LSD, so it might even make a decent attempt at the docile cruise thing as well with an axle that tall.

I love Factory Five Cobras....

Looks nice, hate the wheels, bit too 'pimp'.

Oh man, that engine bay is just to cream for. The whole thing is just spot on, except as has been said, the wheels.

Pfff only 560bhp, my grandma's electric wheelchair has more than that.

The wheels are my least favourite bit about it. Needs some Halibrands, or at least those existing ones in non-polished form.

That must be so fun to drive, as above don't like those wheels though..

Deff an ear to ear smile car, just what I like.

And I bet it sounds awesome :cool:

Nice car, great engine, worst wheels since the 3 spoke was invented.

I actually like some 3 spokes. At least there not unoriginal like 5 spokes.

Wheels are awful, rest of the motor is awesome

Looks stunning, I'm surprised they couldn't find better wheels than that though.
