Is Superformance’s “1965” Cobra 427 S/C Better Than the Original?

Replica Cobras are no joke, and if we’re being honest, it’s an insult to call them replicas, because these built-from-the-factory Cobra models are in a league of their own. We’re making the argument that they are better than the originals, and it’s simply because of two words: modern technology. The innovations at Cobra factories like Superformance and Factory Five Racing have made it possible for you to buy a fully built Cobra that has modern fabrication, modern engine parts, modern suspension and brakes, and modern bodywork all for the price of a new car. Why buy an original Shelby Cobra with old parts for millions of dollars that you’ll never have the gall to drive when you can purchase a Superformance Cobra like this one?

We gave away a Factory Five Cobra to Otto Stiefel back in May, and if you remember this video, then you know that this car RRRRRIPS.

The build quality in these cars is amazing, and Otto can certainly attest to that after having driven his prize for the past few months. One of the primary reasons to get an FFR or Superformance Cobra rather than an original is that these cars are meant to be driven often and hard, not kept in a glass jewel case. So if you have the cash and you’re thinking about Cobras, check out Superformance and Factory Five Racing, you won’t be disappointed.
