Who ever this guy is,
his skills could use improvement.
He is not racing, over revving, yah.
He finally settles somewhat, but the
1st vid, is real racing.
Still more powerful than the 289,
thanks for posting this one too.

Glad to see he finally gave up on
that stupid g/b door, ha ha.

That glove box door dropping open must be his rev limiter indicator.

Gee I didn't think so, his shift light is at 7800rpm, the only time I caught him hitting it hard was when vette roadstser tried to pass on the inside near the end of the race. Remember 427 Ford cars of all types are a exercise in controlled oversteer and he clearly was shifting easy and still breaking loose on the straights at speed which is hair raising. The 260-289 jobs a driver can just pour it on and wait for the horsepower.

Cool It's a faster 'en!

That is one crazy fast scary machine. But when you can
here the valves floating in second.... I'm thinking Autobon.
That track SUCKED for this car's potential.
Take that Bast*rd over to Germany, ok, let's F=&%!ng GO!!!
I want to see the vid on THAT ride. Better check the tires,
can they stand the heat? That Cobra is a BEAST!
SOB would kill ya faster than a... Feel free to fill in the blank!
