Excellant— and I oughta know as a member of the Atlanta Shelby Cobra Owners Club. For those who are not aware of Whatz so special about this car— Let me say that this is the acknoledged most powerful car sold to the public— in the 20th Century. The Only — American car to ever win the FIAA Wold manufacturers Championship. I've ridden in a 289 Cobra— but haven't in a real 427 AC Roadster. Hey, they go about $2Million, and getting to go for a ride at speed is not easy to talk an owner into. I'm getting too old for 200+mph blasts around Road Atlanta— anyway. My pacemaker would probally shock me til I looked like Roudolf. This thing eats Vipers for lunch, even if the back tires are flat. This thing outruns F-18 jet fighters on the runway. Owners scotch tape a thousand dollar bill on the dash— and invite you to grab it when the car is excellerating (you can't even breath -no matter how hard you try) This is not a ladies car, it's brutal and you just won't believe how quick this thing moves.
