My first experience of a scooby. Last year I was driving back from the shops in milton keynes in my cobra ( tweeked 5.7 chevy 400bhp)It was early doors,sunny,not much traffic about pulled up at a roundabout, next thing kitted up scooby pulls up next to me & started larging the loud pedal, what did I do?..exactly..put the foot to the floor & took off(2 lanes btw)as i pulled away i was obviously grinning although at the next roundabout he closed the gap. This carried on until we came to a longer straight at which point i decided the scooby needed a lesson in straight line speed. Unfortunately for me I got a bit carried away & left the braking a bit late, started snaking & before you could say "oh no I've just had the wheels done" I'd spun into the central reservation & ended up facing back the way I had come.Needless to say the scooby cruised by & although I couldn't look you just know he was smiling & thinking "wan%er" . Lesson learned, don't drive like a **** just because someone challenges your manhood or like me buy the new sti8 ppp & catch 'em on the bends!

A Cobra with a chevy engine. Not a Cobra then, is it? More like a rebodied (chevy) Nova.

Nice story. good you mad the right move

lardy

Colin , It's actually a Dax Trojero replica cobra for your info.abbreviated to cobra to save time. Don't pretend to be origional as it's better than an origional.

Is it made of metal or plastic? And why a chev engine - the ford 302/289 is the natural choice. Whatever, one of the best looking cars ever made...

colin, its fibreglass, the aluminium bodied are seriously expensive to buy/repair. Chevy vs ford, when anyone starts a thread on our site on this subject "cobraclub.com" it goes on for ages, basically its down to personal preference & you just can't beat the sound of a roaring chevy it's awsome.For those people looking for authenticity its ford but for us non pretenders it doesn't matter. Your right it is a beautiful looking car, except when facing the wrong way perched on top of a central reservation!
