New V-10 Shelby Cobra
Check out latest Motor Trend. Ol Shel wants to go out with Ford. Looks like a strong possibility that this car will become a reality. 600 hp, 0-60 in 3.3, price around $ 95,000.00, sounds like a Viper Killer to me. Looks very much like the original, only a little more updated. Same basic lines. Nice........

Watched a special on TV about the design and construction of it.
Shelby had a slight hand in the design and gave his blessing to it before they built a running example. After it was built Ford hauled it to Texas for him to evaluate. After a run around a race track he was doing smokey doughnuts with it. All the while he had a big grin on his face. To who else would Ford trust a billion dollor, one of a kind car too?

Oh I know that, but it was still a one off car, anything could happen. I don't know if you have seen the TV show but he is smoking it up pretty good about 20 feet from a wall.

Car looks pretty good too. Just got my Motor Trend but haven't had a chance to read it yet.

I was going to buy a half done Superformance 427 kit last year before I bought my new house but couldn't swing it and the house.
