He played with the Viper, even hitting his brakes to further rub it in!

To all the people that are talking Hemi this and Hemi that, need to google "what makes a Hemi a Hemi".. Look at the wikipedia history of HEMI... FORD was making Hemi engines in the 1940s.. Hemi is short for Hemispherical Combustion Chamber... FORD was running Hemi engines way before MOPAR... The 427 in the real Cobras is a HEMI engine that produced 700 HP... The 426 HEMI had no chance against the overhead design of the Ford Hemi... That is why NASCAR banned the 427 in the mid 60s... Look it up!

Cobra is the better reptilian.

Hemispherical headed engines have been around since the early 1900's, Chrysler didn't invent them. They were the first American company to mass produce them and they evolved into the 426, which no one can dispute the power they can put out. Hemi Ford's in the 40's? Those were aftermarket heads made by Ardun, aka: Zora Duntov, that converted the flathead V8 into a ohv hemi. All the 427 cobra's were wedge engines, not a hemi. The 427 cobra was a limited production beast, no one can dispute that.
