Not Ranked
I saw and sat in the new Brock car at Monterey in August. It's beautiful. The car is a few inches bigger all around than the original because it's a road car and they wanted to make it more comfortable both in entry and exit, and the ride as well.
It has coil over independent suspension on all 4 corners with a powder coated frame.
It has a Carbon-Kevlar and glass body that is as smooth as steel. (not fiberglass). The interior is just *****in and is available with 2 seat options for smaller or larger people, it has a removable steering wheel, roll up windows, Air Conditioning and a 500+HP Roush 402 fuel injected engine and a 6 speed Tremec Trans.
The Superformance guys who were there said the car on display had a rear end ratio that I can not remember, but would easily push the car over 200mph with the engine and trans combo.
I've known and worked with many of the Shelby guys in the post Shelby years on CAM-AM, TRANS-AM and Champ cars and having had 3 Shelby automobiles in the family in the sixties,('64 289 Cobra, '65 GT-350R, and a '66 GT-350 street car) I was pretty up to date on things going on at the factory. 180+ was about as much as the could ring out of the coupes with the 4 speed transmissions they ran. Also the Weber carbed 289's they ran were more like 385+ HP because all the races they ran were long distance enduros and they were reliable at that number. Shelby sold complete crate Cobra engines w/Webers rated at 385HP. The 4 barrel carbed crate motor for the Mustangs were rated at 350+HP hence the name GT-350.
The SPF Brock Coupe roller will sell for around $63,000.00 complete less engine and trans.
