What in the world would posses someone to commit such an outrageous atrocity as this?

Really now..What was Shelby thinking when he stuffed a Ford motor into a British chassis making that Cobra thing. No one will ever want to drive that contraption.

That must be a handful to drive. And certainly easy to change the plugs on that engine.

Early Hemis (331, 354, 392) had the dizzy at the rear. Oh, and they were heavy as hell. No matter how much power this thing makes itsa' not gonna' need any wheelie bars.
