Performance

FormaCars Daytona Coupe comes with a generation 3 5.0 L 460-HP Ford Coyote V8 Engine with a FormaCars designed cold air intake and MT82 6-speed manual transmission. The generation 2 Ford Coyote is a robust modern engine that is well known for durability, thrilling power, and reliability. Being a light cast aluminum engine with 420 ft. lbs of torque burning out, smoking tires, getting in and out of curves quickly, and being one of the fastest vehicles on the street will prove easy with this setup.

With silky smooth shifting, FormaCars advanced precision engineered MT82 Shifter Conversion Kit allows for the transmission designed for the Coyote engine to be used in the Daytona Coupe. This conversion allows for the shifter to be located in the ideal location for a great shifting experience and response.

The FormaCars designed cold air intake is engineered to pull in the freshest and coolest air. This allows for overall better performance and encouraging a race worthy performance setup.

Additional configurations are available including the ability to supercharge, turbo and more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different engine?

Yes, we can install any engine you would like. We recommend the generation 3 5.0 L 435-HP Ford Coyote V8 Engine, but we are happy to accomodate your engine and transmission choice. Please contact us to learn more!

That is a great question, and one we often get. Here is a simple explanation, if you really want the experience of building your own car, do it. If you really just want to enjoy the car, hire FormaCars to build it for you. The average time a person takes to build their own car is 2-5 years. That is 2-5 years your garage will be filled with tools and parts. In addition, costs accumulate very quickly. We are happy to chat with you to determine if building or buying will be a better fit for you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us!

The original Shelby Cobras were made in 1963-1967, but you can often find them at large auctions for six and seven figures ($). FormaCars is a Cobra Replica builder and we use the most advanced highly engineered frame and chassis from Factory Five Racing. Any “Shelby Cobra” built today is either a replica of the original or licensed by Shelby America. FormaCars uses the Factory Five Racing kits because they are the most advanced and highly engineered Cobra replica chassis designed to date and have a very long history of being the best in the replica marketplace. Call us to learn more about how we are leading the replica marketplace!

Generally, it takes 90 days to completely build and deliver your car. That is after we have received the frame and chassis. A frame and chassis could take up to six weeks to be completed, so you are looking at about 120 days in total. Keep in mind that some custom modifications could extend your build time and we will be upfront on the expectations. Please call us to learn more about our build process!

Yes, we offer a 24 month unlimited mileage bumper to bumber warranty with every new vehicle build. Please contact us to learn more!
