AC Cobra 427 S/C [Premium] 1966

Specs: http://www.webcarstory.com/tech.php?id=205

Although this car has an detailed interior, it is standard and it is from GT4 which is from PS2. So, we need this historic icon to be converted to premium like its old brother Shelby Cobra 427!

Who's with me?

AC Cobra should already by Premium!

But there's already the Shelby Cobra. As far as I can tell, they're basically the same.

The obvious difference between the two is that the AC Cobra is right-hand drive and the Shelby Cobra is left-hand drive.

Right-hand drive:

Left-hand drive:

But that's all, really.

& the AC is British & can enter English, European Events while the Shelby cant. I agree the AC should be made premium.

As has already been stated, we already have the 427 Shelby Cobra in the game - this used an improved chassis and suspension. In the USA the car was sold as the Shelby Cobra 427 (although a lot were fitted with the less powerful and cheaper Ford 428 engine). In the UK and Europe AC marketed the car as the AC Cobra Mark 3, using the same chassis and body, but fitted with a 289 engine.

I would much rather have a 289 Cobra in the game than this one as we already have a 427 model. I wouldn't mind whether it was listed as an AC or a Shelby, but it is the 289 model which has the richest competition history including a class win at Le Mans in 1963 plus numerous SCCA and USRRC wins.

Below class winning 289 AC Cobra centre with Ford V8 powered Lola MK6 (which formed the basis of the Ford GT40) to its left and Lotus Elite to its right - 3 wonderful cars!

Thanks for your information Sick- I'll do the thread for 289 AC Cobra later.

This is a real deal that should be premium. It's got that noticeable Cobra looks and performance, and it's a shame it looks like a Minecraft modelled version right now in GT6.

It isn't Minecraft modelled version: It is an PS2 modelled version because it is from GT4.

Just a metaphor of its standard quality build...

There are already threads for the AC/Shelby Cobra Mark 1 and the AC Cobra Mark 2, but at the moment, despite their beauty and great historical significance not many votes yet.
