  • AC or Shelby?

    Cobras that is.
    Had a drive of both types this evening, and although they both have 427ci engines, the Shelby has about 7bhp more and a lower final drive ratio.
    The AC sounds nicer and has a much better gearing. I was able to get it up to 173mph where as the Shelby topped out at 152mph because of the gearing but it felt like it had a lot more to give. Both are 4 speed.
    Also, the Shelby was a real handful just pulling away gently I couldn't stop it lighting up the rear tyres, I think would benefit from traction control.

    So for everyday driving, I would have the AC Cobra, better gearing, nicer sounding and the steering wheel is on the right side.

                      There's a number of roads near me where it's possible to do those speeds (late at night), no cameras.
