Should you buy a Factory Five Cobra? 3 Things I Love and Hate About my Cobra
Here are the 3 things I love and 3 things I hate about my factory five cobra. After owning the car for a few months now, I have experienced inconveniences that I did not expect such as storage and usability, and I've also experience amazing qualities such as unique experiences at car shows.
This video is intended to give future or prospective buyers an understanding of what to expect in a hand built Factory Five Roadster. I am absolutely thrilled with my Shelby Cobra replica and continue to learn from each driving experience.
Keep in mind, each spec is different since they are hand built. My Factory Five Roadster is a 427 with a Cam, custom race heads, and all kinds of other modifications making close to 600 horsepower.

I Bought a Race Built FFR 427 Shelby Cobra and its INSANE!
zhlédnutí 94KPřed rokem
Say hello to my Factory Five Cobra! This MK2 Cobra has a list of race modifications including custom forged pistons, rods, crank, but most importantly, a custom cam and race heads, all done by Gordon Levy. The car makes roughly 600 hp and 600 tq and weighs only around 2,300 lbs. To put that into context, the new Hummer EV's batteries alone with over 3,000 lbs. I've always dreamed of owning a Co...
2022 BMW M240i FULL REVIEW - Interior - Exterior - Drive - Should you buy it?
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 2 lety
Textbook design cues meet fantastic thrills. This is the 2022 BMW M240i. Everything I learned in Design school has been applied to this car. The new angled design language creates the perfect reflections during sunset. The 382 horsepower and 369 lb/ft of torque produced by the inline six, 3.0 liter turbo engine creates a familiar tone and unexpectedly fast acceleration. The biggest draw of this...

Can a professional longboarder get through LA faster than a Tesla? Today we pit them head to head in a 2.2 mile race. From the Venice pier to the Santa Monica pier. Living in LA for most of my life, I can tell you that traffic can crush your day. However, the dense population of people on the Venice boardwalk should also slow down Brandon, our longboarder.

Somehow, the S class masters everything it attempts and maintains its place as the best in its class thr...
TESLA MODEL S PLAID REVIEW - Worlds Fastest Car 0-60 in 1.9
zhlédnutí 32KPřed 2 lety
This is the worlds fastest car. Not the fastest EV, not fastest in its class... The fastest car on this planet. The Tesla Model S Plaid launches 0-60mph in 1.9 seconds and it feels uncomfortably unnatural. For comparison sake, a Bugatti Chiron does 0-60 in a measly 2.6 seconds. The best way to describe it is "painfully fast" since a headache and a nauseas stomach usually follow this type of acc...
2021 Dodge Charger HELLCAT Wide Body Full Review - Exterior - Interior - Drive

I finally got my hands on a Hellcat. A Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody, to be exact. Mopars latest 2021 offering has 717hp, bumped up from 707hp in previous years. The same 650 lb/ft as previous years coming from the 6.2L supercharged V8. The Wide Body trim is meant to increase traction and improve handling. I’m sure grip has improved, however traction was still nowhere to be found even in norma...

    You've got a lot of the same drawbacks and benefits with a nice shiny cruiser motorcycle as well. The plus with a motorcycle is, it's far cheaper and far more accessible. Lots of chrome and really pretty, but kind of also a pita. Probably the one extra pita over a cobra is suiting up and suiting down every time, but on the plus side, you don't have to panic if your motorcycle gets caught out in the rain unlike a cobra. What makes driving a motorcycle all worth while thought, is the high mpg, which the cobra replica can't touch. 50mpg is typical.

    As an owner of 00’s maserati and ferraris - this car did not get a ferrari designed engine as the others did. It’s a pentastar w tweaks. Things like switches - my f and m cars use switches from cheap fiats. Snobby car reviewers are just trying to get clicks. And unfortunately this car doesn’t handle well - it’s based on an older merc/chrys 300. It is beautiful but you can see sergio m was just trying to increase volume. Maserati is fixing the error of this mentality by building on the giorgio platform w the alfa / ferrari derived v6.
