Cool Road Racing ??? I think not !

The thing that made Shelby and the Cobra famous and put them on the map was the 427 Cobra. Not all the race stuff.

Actual car race enthusiasts who care about the nuances and subtleties of road racing back in the 50's and 60's are about .00001% of the general population. Road racing aside, the 427 Cobra was/is the baddest car on the planet. It is an automotive legend and an American automotive icon of power and excess.

Every single gearhead in America (about 85% of the population) knows what a Shelby Cobra is because of the mystique and raw brutal power of the 427 Cobra.

THAT is what the Shelby Cobra is all about and what people want to hear about.
