The original Shelby Cobra is my favorite car. A nieghbor had one and gave me a ride a couple of times. The experience was awsome as you can imagine, I was 16 and it was shear wood. I also saw one in a performance shop, the body was on saw horses it was all aluminum and we picked it up, of course we got our asses jumped.
In college an older frat brother bought a red Shelby GT 500 Mustang after returning from Nam. He let me drive it a couple of times, once again, shear wood.
My nephew has a 04 Shelby Mustang, it's a gas, but at my age it's more fear than wood.
I think the best Fords are the original Cobra, the late 60s Cobra Mustangs and all Ford GTs. Of course who doesn't love 65 & 66 Mustangs. When I win the Powerball I'll fligh you in to KC to drive my collection of these cars and a few Porchase and BMWs at Kansas Speedway. Wish me luck!
