7.3L Godzilla Powered Shelby Cobra MkIIIR | Superformance 30th Anniversary

All that torque in something that weighs no more than a go-cart is just an automatic death trap. I love it.

Dude I'm European. I've never bin so excited to get up at 02.00 in the morning to see this car. Shit it's 19:56 p.m. in Denmark right now but I'm gonna stay up for this one!. Nothing beats V8+Side pipes. Shelby GT 500, Shelby Cobra, Nascars I don't care! They just sound like rattling 2 roaring male lions in a tin can. And THEN they rev it! Can't wait!

I have a mildly tuned Godzilla with a 10 speed auto in my F250. I hear the same exhaust notes a rpm. The torque is real for sure. What a beautiful example.

The Cobra was the Gnarliest car ever built. That 7.3 looks good in there.

This thing is a big engine with roller skates! Awesome💪💪💪

She sure is a dream. Thank you all at AutotopiaLA for making it possible to be able to see something like this.

Got my 7.3 Superformance MKIII last year. Not an anniversary addition but a beast nonetheless. It makes my inner 12y.o. giggle

The car chase scene in BadBoys 1 thats when I fell in love with the Cobra.

I’m sure a motor made for one ton trucks feels like an absolute torque monster in that little go cart! I love the exhaust, not too loud and obnoxious, just enough tone when you’re on it and a few fun little pops when u get off it.

That engine is one thing that Ford didn't mess up on

saw this car setup at sema, godzilla stuffed into a cobra. so glad to see you drive this

One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Incredible.

I owned a SuperFormance Cobra (chassis 1038). It had a Ford Racing 392, and it was a beast. I can't imagine adding another 200-300hp!

Unwavering dedication and humility make you a standout. Congrats!

Great build. Exhaust tone is somewhat mellow but smooth. Love it

Love the Cobra and plan to build a “replica” here in my country! But like many new versions of it I’m not shooting for an exact copy, but a restomod with a modern Ford V8 engine and transmission, CF race seats and other parts, modern chassis, independent suspension and 18” wheels. Kind of the new AC Cobra launched last year. About the engine, after reading a few books and watch God knows how many videos, I found there’s a catch: although we all love the big 427 engine, race drivers of the day hated the upgrade from the 289, because it wrecked the handling of the car. Also, with such a short wheelbase, the immense torque of the 427 at low rpm is responsible for most of the spins and crashes with the Cobra when the driver gets too excited. So, it’s something to think about🧐. Can’t wait for the video! Thanks, Shawn!

Great job with the new videography and narration. Man.., even the sound is top notch. Nicely done!

The first time I took notice of the Shelby Cobras was in the mid 60s when I was a kid in grade school and my brother put together a model car of the Cobra.

Perfect video Shawn and Co. Absolutely love the in car views and that sound ! WOW. ❤🇨🇦

I've had BOTH my eyes on a Factory Five Daytona coupe for a long, LONG time... The Cobra as a kid was a GOD! .... I'm torn.... 100 % This is one bad ASS clean fkn Cobra !
