R.I.P Another great legend.

as stated. this video is so asinine, it borders on plain sad. a 2400lb 550hp cobra running almost 13.00 through the traps is grounds for a beating (even with the billboards). this video is why i loath most media.

not to take away from the super snake, but in reality, it don't hold a candle to the king, that being the cobra.

Hooo yeeesss!!! a los dos los amo!!! :3

choice between a cobra and a mustang? The mustang is cool, fast and has all the comforts but for a thrilling ride....cobra all the way. It oozes the "get in, set down, hold on and shut up" driving the mustang steered badly, it's not a drift car, the cobra held the track. ANYBODY can drive the mustang, but you better KNOW what you're doing driving the cobra or it will bite you.

Bad sound quality and disturbing "music" (yuck!) make it impossible to hear what the guy says!

The Shelby Cobra 427, the Chuck Norris of sports cars.

But it is exactly what i say it to be. it is based of the mustang which is the muscle car for people who don't know about cars. just look at the pricing its over $100,000. why would you buy that when you could buy a kit A/c for $41,000 with a motor. its even cheaper without a motor so you could put whichever power plant you'd like in it. with a deal like that no one would buy a super snake..... unless you couldn't put a cobra together and/or you just want the name Shelby on your car

[Sam Sykes]

first of all the initial design of the car was done by ford not Shelby second of all people make mistakes Delorean made the Delorean after being one of the best car designers in the sixties i personally put him of Shelby but i still respect the 60's Shelby's 

[juvinino]

I love mustangs

[Jonathan Esslinger]

I'd like to see what the Cobra runs with slicks. 12.90 @121 mph clearly shows traction issues

[Mustang GT]

Carrol I will personally miss you. Have have built some of the baddest Fords ever, as a matter a fact you made the Mustang what it is one awesome American Muscle car. So thank You and rest in peace my mentor!

So.... Carroll Shelby's design looks like it was done by a 12 year old?

You are talking about the motherfucking king, and you sir, are nothing but a beta.
