What we have here is the terrific 'meco and pankykapus' AC Cobra 427 mod remade into four versions of an AC 289 Sports:. Completely stock form, an S1 version to compete with the AC Legends GTC Cobras, the trackday version, and a fully race-prepared competition version. Here's a link to an actual AC 289 Sports :

https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/LF16/London/lots/r161-1967-ac-289-sports-cobra/384101

The original AC 289 Sports had a 271 gross hp (260 bhp) hi-performance 289 engine. The new S1 version has a 306hp engine to match the GTC Cobras for competition. The Trackday version has a 340 hp hi-performance engine and the Competition version has a 390 bhp racing engine . The Competition version closely matches the horsepower and weight specs of the famous FIA Shelby Cobras although they were on the original style frame and suspension.
There are no issues with Content Manager. Headlights and wipers are not functioning properly on these cars at this time (the headlights light up the road but do not look like they're on). Taillights, brake lights and exhaust flames work.
You will notice there is no 'Donate' button on this mod. The greatest credit for this car still belongs to Marc, 'the meco and pankykapus' designer. He has given me approval for this mod and it's upload but is still protective of his propriety over the 3d models of the cars. He is not looking for donations either. I do not know the creator of the sfx that this mod comes with but they also deserve thanks as the sound just seems perfect for this car. Thanks to 'cunnox' (Legion) for the AC emblems.
A big thank you to members FrankN2O and Chili Pepper for the multiple choices of cool license plates and nice fender badges to replace the 427 ones. You guys rock!
Although these cars come with sound I highly recommend the SCIBSOUND sfx mod for the 427 s/c model found here. See the ReadMe for details.
Here are also links to liveries and tire packages from Chili Pepper as they work fine on this car.
***IMPORTANT*** PLEASE READ THE INCLUDED README FILE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION***
Most of all...HAVE FUN!!!

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.

You're welcome. Thanks for the comment and the stars.
Wow! This car is an absolute riot to drive...took the Competition version out to Riverside short and had a blast. Just a few small tweaks and I did a 1:33.32. Thank you so much, this car is a hoot.
