To have a scene-stealing movie car, you need to start with a strong base. The movie-version of the Cobra could easily have packed a powerful punch on it's own, even without the usual Hollywood makeover, thanks to its 600 horsepower and 500 foot-pounds of torque. The all-aluminum V-10 engine has a 10,000 RPM redline and is matched to a heavy-duty six-speed transmission. Its aluminum skin is stretched tight over the light-weight body, making the car look like it is ready to be fired out of a cannon.

The tight body panels and smooth lines make it seem as if the car is traveling 200 miles per hour, even when sitting still.

Though the actual car doesn't pack the whopping numbers that it does in the movie, it's still an impressive vehicle. It took 24 people just 45 days to piece together a vehicle that was worthy of the Cobra name and hot enough to carry around a secret agent. The actual car features a tried-and-true Ford 5.0 motor, hopped up to 345 horsepower, topped with an Edelbrock carburetor and mated to a TCI C4 transmission. All the power is pushed through a live rear axle with 3.73 gears, and hits the ground through B.F. Goodrich tires. This easily translates into some ferocious speed, as the Cobra sports a full fiberglass body and weighs in at a paltry 2,600 pounds.

Keeping XXX and any passenger firmly in the car are a set of Sparco racing seats and harnesses. A rollcage has been integrated into the chassis for added safety.

Sparco seats and harnesses keep passengers strapped in tight.
