The car is beautiful, and sounds good. It has appropriate gearing selections and other setup parameters. The baseline setup is good, and it drives very well right out of the box.

There are lots of cool paint schemes. However, the two lower horsepower variants have no skins at all, in my download (mid-August, 2024), according to Content Manager.

Unfortunately, it's also too fast and too grippy for a 289 Cobra. I took it to Le Mans 2017, which is a fabulous test track, and immediately started lapping in the 4:32 bracket, with a top speed of 168 mph. That's about 15-20 seconds too quick, and about 10-15 mph too fast, in my estimation. The "V70" tires, which are really for cars from the 1970s, are a huge reason for the low lap times, for sure. I suspect the mod also needs additional aero drag, to reduce both top speed and rate of acceleration at higher speeds.

So it's great in most ways, and I really appreciate that it exists, but there is also significant room for improvement.
Lovely Car. It feels very nice and it's lovely to drive.
Danke, gefällt mir richtig gut :)

Yes, I know. I stated that in the description above. The headlights aren't right either. It's a sunny day car.
Thanks Ken, this pack is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Great job, man!

Great mods! I was going to just take each version for a couple of test laps, but once I tried the competition version, I just had to set up a 20-lap race. That car is extremely fun.

Very Nice!

nice mod man but can you update the exterior engine sound, when racing with the AI cannot hear the engine at all too low... much appreciated if you do so

Hi. Yes, I am aware that the exterior sound is low on that sound pack. Unfortunately I don't have the expertise to change that. When in the car I think you can go to your options menu bar and raise the exterior volume but I haven't actually tried that yet. Thanks for the comments and the stars.
great addiition, love how different they drive. 289 is the sweetest spot for Cobra.
Noticed a texture glitch of interior mirror and visor holding metal, possibly a wrong texture in the material, or wrong mapping.
Fabulous work and fun to drive! Amazing work.
