A Cobra built by Las Vegas Performance Roadsters, of course. ;)
Here's what makes it GO. A 5.0 liter Supercharged engine.

Here's a secure mount for your video cam to record your "E" ticket ride. :shock:

Chuck told me for a mere $60 K I could be the proud owner of one just like this. Hmm, it IS a lot cheaper than a Ford GT, and I'm betting just as much fun. ;)

That looks like a camera mount on the rollbar behind the driver's right shoulder.

Beauty of a car. My neighbor has a replica down the street :\

And I have seen some real nice ones driving around. They look like so much fun.

Thanks Dan & Jackal.

GAWD, I guess!
I just did a quick power to weight breakdown and came up with one horsepower to push every four point eight pounds. That's some SERIOUS power to weight ratio for a street driven car!
In FACT, that's treading on "Super Bike" power to weight ratios. :shock: :shock: :shock:

I remember attending the first all Cobra race at Watkins Glen. Funny as hell to see a dozen cars trying to get off the line without spinning out. Lots of doughnuts that weekend.

0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds while still in first gear...

With a 427 that Redlines at 7000 RPM, I should think so. ;)
The Cobra still has the Vet beat in terms of power to weight ratios though.
4.8 LBS per Horse for the Cobra.
6.2 LBS per Horse for the Vette.
I think there is some strong competition brewing. :shock:
Thanks for that interesting tidbit. :D
