GTP Cool Wall: 1964-1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe

[ildd]

I voted cool.
1. It's amazing to look at
2. It's really frickin fast
3. It's a race car that was never road legal :/

Forever equals in my book.

Sub-zero.

Sub-zero.

Looking at them that way (I've put them together in GT6, mind you), shows me how similar they look. Not that it's a bad thing.

Sub-zero.

They are both gorgeous.

 

[sparkytooth]

Didn't know the 250 GTO was longer actually. But both it and the Cobra Daytona are one of the most gorgeous racecars ever.

 

[JMoney]

I simply can't vote Sub-Zero because the Roadster made more power and was a LOT better looking. You just can't have two sub-zero cars like that, one is always cooler than the other. In this case, the roadster is obviously cooler.

The coupe is still cool, however.

 

[Azure Flare]

The coupe was far more aerodynamic than the roadster because of the shape, the latter was about as efficient at moving through the air as a bric, therefore it was faster.

 

[Adamgp]

Easy SZ.

 

[Dagger311]

Sub Zero.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Sub zero, because you can have this car from Factory 5.

Yeah that's not the same thing, it's like saying their AC and Shelby Cobras are on par. It may be a modern version with their classic skin...but I'd rather have the real thing.

now leave me be as I play mega millions and hope.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Mmmhmm, but with F5 you can make it perfect. Coyote crate motor, IRS and all that.. And probably for less than the cost of FR-S.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Sub Zero.

Why would you want to tinker with perfection?

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Perfect? Hardly.. But very close.

 

[Slash]

Perfect? Hardly.. But very close.

IRS doesn't help everything.

 

[LivingWithGames]

I'm thanking GT2 for introducing this beaut to me for the first time.

So sexy.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

IRS doesn't help everything.

True, but it gives more options for adjusting the car to your liking.

 

[Slash]

Depends on what you want to do 👍

 

[Space Dynamics]

I want to adjust the car to my liking 👍

Ed: Is it possible to put camber into a solid rear axle?

You can actually get some camber, but not a whole lot.

 

[edawg456]

It's eye candy. Sub zero.

It has to be built into the housing and differential. There is no camber gain with suspension travel.

Think of the entire axle as a very shallow V instead of a horizontal line.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Sub-Zero.

 

[Jason115]

Styling wise it doesn't even compare with the original Cobra

 

[Vegard]

I can't understand why people love the design of this thing so much.
I mean, it looks like an out of proportion Ferrari 250 GTO copy...

Uncool.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

-American - eugh
-Shelby - forever associated with that horrid "Eleanor" Mustang
-designed by a teenager
-uncool

The originals had IRS...

Wanted to vote sub zero cool, but you cant daily drive this race car, otherwise you would go insane...

Voted cool!
