Just tried to enter my AC cobra in the Shelby Cobra Challenge and found out there are two different Cobra's in the game and I had the wrong one

So, if you are buying a Cobra make sure you buy the Shelbey One and not the AC one!

It would have been a bad idea even if you had been able to enter. The Shelby jobby has the humping great V8 under the bonnet. I doubt your AC Cobra has anything like that power. You probably would have been mincemeat.

Of course, If i'm worng feel free to correct me!

We've been running a "cobra on the ring" challenge over on the cobra site. Arcade, medium tyres, no aids. Good fun.

They are the same though but sound different. both AC and Shelby Cobras are technically the same..from the '60s anyway.

I must have screwed up the settings on my Shelbey.

I just did a top speed run in both cars and the shelbey only reaches about 150, the AC goes to 175.

Also, just realised they are not the same power, the AC is about 620BHP when maxed and the Shelbey is 720bhp when maxed, yet my AC is faster!
