Several MB's Superperformance MK III Cobra
Sold my SL55
I finally sold my SL55 and thought that I could live without the urge to go fast. That lasted about 2 1/2 months so I picked up this little toy. Dyno'd at 535 hp to the rear wheels with total weight at 2,300 pounds. This thing is scary fast and definitely something that demands respect. Nothing luxurious about it but what a blast.

Luv AC Cobra's... Not many would even drive a real Cobra on the road, they're between $500k-1 Million on up very rare etc.. Quality reproductions only way to own these classics..
Great looking ride! Post a video please..

I'm down here in the SF Bay Area. The NorCal Cobra Club is very active in the Sac area. You'll have to check out the Club Cobra Forum if you haven't already. I still have my 07 SL55 / P030 and my 65 GT350 w/Webers. Congraulations on your SPF.

Sick car!
I drove a customer's 500rwhp Cobra once and it downright SCARED the crap out of me. You literally feel like you're going to lift out of the seat with anything more than half throttle.
Love that color on yours, too!
