1966 AC Cobra 427 S/C review from Australia and New Zealand
"Brutal, fast, uncompromising. Awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The wheels are getting slightly pitted, but that's to be expected on a nearly 40 year old car.
Some minor overheating (since remedied).
General comments?
It's very, very, very loud! Your head freezes and your toes burn. The driving position is uncomfortable and the wind nearly rips my head off.
People stare all the time and everyone thinks it's a replica. Apparently it's capable of 0-60mph in about 4 seconds. Never tried it, but it certainly feels that fast.
I would sooner sell my kidneys than this car. My wife hates it.
