Wow, interchangeable bodies is a super impressive option! Very, very cool!!!

Hi Adam, I'd recommend contacting Brent Lykins from Lykins Motorsports, LLC He has built magazine feature engines, but mor importantly he spends a lot of time talking his customers through the options available. In conversations on the Cobra forum, it's fascinating to learn from his knowledge...

The only performance diesel engines that I've seen locally are the big and bulky Duramax engines. These are obviously too chunky for a sports car application, but the amount of torque they produce is almost hard to fathom. Without spending much money, these are making 600+rwhp and over...

Ouch! Sports car found after being reported stolen - South Australia Police News

In case anyone has the same issue with the website not accepting your overseas post code, the way I got around it last year (because Dad and I couldn't possibly miss a full field of Cobras!) was to set up your account on the website by using an English post code. After the account is created...

Great detective work Brian!

A couple of weeks after Goodwood, I stumbled across the MkIII being photographed for an upcoming Octane cover feature. Here is the owner, restorer, journo and photographer. MkIII GT40 I must admit that I didn't know much about the MkIII cars, so the details such as the hinged front "bonnet"...

Hi Tristan. Nice old Fairmont! I have owned my XY Fairmont for 24 years now. It was my first car and I fitted a 351 Clevo just in time for me to get my license. It has a 460 in it now :) There's a mountain of information to work your way through on this site. Put aside hours and hours for...

Thanks Paul, Tim and Andrew - I appreciate the information.

Hi, I've done some online searches and haven't come up with a clear picture about what was re-engineered from the old RF to the new RF, other than replacing the cast front uprights with newly manufactured ones. Is there much of a change to the feel of the car (and do those with earlier cars...

After seeing the monster SL-C that RCR Australia are building, I wonder if anyone else is investigating the possibility of using the Albins 6 speed sequential trans. I just found one for sale for $15K AUD. I'm not connected to the sale. If you look at the bottom of the Ebay advert (in the...

Is it fair to say that the interior hasn't been finished to the same standard as many (most) other GT40s, or is it just a bad photo in difficult lighting conditions? I'd be surprised if the interior didn't match the standard of the rest of the car, but I'm only going by the photo...

Perry's video is pretty wild, but I don't think that particular video highlights torque. Look at the rpm when he hits the gas - it's up pretty high already. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if it's making nearly 600lb/ft by 3000rpm on an engine dyno.

I'm astounded that this car has been on Ebay at $40K starting price for nearly a week without a single bid, and the Buy It Now price is only $60K. Seems like a great deal for a new car that looks fabulous on the outside and in the engine compartment. The interior isn't it's strong point, but...

...it definitely won't be burning any fossil fuel while it's sitting on the sidewalk like that :)
