"Our biased opinion of course"
The 3rd thru 6th October 2008 saw us at the 15th Australian Cobra nationals held at Wakefield Park, Goulburn NSW Australia.
We were extremely privilaged to be invited to compete in a freshly built off-the-showroom-floor DRB 2000 Boss Cobra replica, sporting an eye catching color scheme of "Citric Acid" and "Ergo" stripes with Grey triming.
The 5.4L modular power plant and 5 speed manual transmission is from a donor BF Ford Falcon (including adjustable steering column and electrics).
The very sure footed, comfortable ride employs all Jaguar running gear with special features such as limited slip diff and ABS brakes. A specially developed DRB patented rear upright watts link system ensures positive launch and tractable characteristics.
The American Racing Halibrand wheels, chrome side pipes and all the usual Cobra bright ware complete the cars authentic appearance.
This very user-friendly sports car enjoyed being trailer queen for over 2400klm to and from the event yet performed exceptionally well on the track --a testament to the DRB sports car recipe for excellence.
. P.S. We were impressed with the fact that you can buy or build a DRB Cobra and drive it on the road as comfortably as you would expect from a "normal" car, and be able to run it quite competitively on the race track.
