twobjshelbys Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, they really sound like that. The 427 is lower and deeper though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Canfield Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Now I wonder what it wold have been like to run LeMans or Daytona in one of those. If it had been me and they pulled me out of th ecar I'm pretty sure the smile on my face would have made me look like one of the Jokers victims!

Mustangcollector Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Very nice! I love those old racing Cobras and the beautiful sound they make. Amazing power and thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 You should hear an original GT40. With the short pipes and trumpes they are REALLY LOUD! They fire up J7 at the Shelby party every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fire up J7 at the Shelby party every year. Well, don't tease us like that. Post a sound clip at least. I am willing to sacrifice my speakers to hear that!

WYTSNKE Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Appreciate you sharing the clip (wonderful sound that small block V-8 makes!). The way he was passing other cars on the track, I'm guessing that he qualified for a pretty decent position on the starting grid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim You'll have to come to the annual Shelby American Collection party to hear J7. All I can tell you is that when they lit it up INSIDE THE BUILDING everyone covered their ears. It didn't break glass on the windows or display cases but it could have. From a distance you felt it in your chest as much as heard it. An amazing sound. The party is Sept 8 this year. Come on up to Boulder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
