[Fleckers]

the Cobra OK

but 800 bhp out of a 2.0 vauxhall lump............ if its all tubo then the lag must be in days, how often is it rebuilt ?

[AndyFoo]

That twin Paxton was the one in the Cosby Cobra wasn't it?

Nope, it's the other twin-Paxton 427 Cobra built, one of Shelby's own personal Cobras (CSX3015) which he kept for nearly 40 years and was recently autioned off for $5m.

The Cosby Cobra (CSX3303) was handed back to Shelby-American and sold on in 1969 being bought by a Tony Maxey of San Francisco, who soon afterwards lost control of the monstrous 427, crashing over a cliff into the Pacific Ocean and being killed.

Is that a twin turbo and supercharged TVR Griffith?

I love this from PH'er Angelis' thread in Readers Cars. Theres just something deeply cool about trumpets sticking out of the top of an engine like that.

No shiny turbos but this is my 460CI big block being mock assembled & the last pic is the moment it struck me that the bonnet may not shut. It did though

[jbi]

my favorite... but i'm biased

[toast boy]

Some of those turbo/supercharged engines look frightening! I do love the design of the old Jaguar engines though, something about them just looks right.
