OK, it’s 1965 and you have the keys to both of these in your hand… Which do you take for a rip?
The mechanical comparison between these two is fairly lopsided since the Cobra is a no expense spared Kirkham build with a stroked all aluminum Shelby 427 and the Corvette has a stock 327… BUT just look at these gorgeous vehicles!
I’ve been fortunate to turn some wrenches on this Cobra for a friend and it has been a pleasure to work on and even more fun to test drive!

I’m doing “influencer” things tonight and it is completely awesome!
The featured vehicle is the all electric 650 horsepower SUV… and it is officially a trail rated rig.
The Recon is surprisingly capable looking and some of the things that stand out to me (as a person that has broken multiple IFS components on the trails) is the attention to detail on that specific area. The front suspension, half shaft axles and steering components are extremely well thought out. Notice the steering and sway bar links are behind the control arms. I actually want to drive one!
On a personal note… that first selfie was my highlight of the evening with world famous trail boss Nena of
I’ve had the privilege of being on a trip lead by her and was “that guy” who broke my junk and held the whole group up. She came back in the pack to help me make the repair in the most calm and reassuring way. I will always be in awe of the skill and knowledge she has!

Cheers to more miles in the dirt… hey can someone at get me the key fob to one of these so I can do an camping video?! 😉

I’m in Vegas at the SEMA show this week and it has already been amazing starting here on day one! Catching up with old friends and seeing the amazing vehicles is very inspiring.

I had a rough first week with the truck back home. While running errands, the a/c compressor seized and took out the serpentine belt. The thing overheated pretty hard before getting to a safe space to pull over. After getting it home, I stuffed a new compressor and belt in and it starts and sounds ok… whew 😰
This will make for a very expensive welcome home but after all that… I’m still very happy to have it in the driveway.
I produced my first video in a long time on the adventure so if you get a moment, could you please give it a watch? As I was editing this video and going through old footage… it was VERY easy to see why I’m so emotionally invested in this thing… because I did all the upgrades in the side yard, Pinto the Dog features in just about every one ❤️🐕 So there’s that strong connection in a good way.
