Cobra Make, Engine: Owned CSX 3121 1969-1975. Went to the dark side and bought a 'Vette. May yet repent and be saved.

Pretty car! We bought a yellow '72 Pantera the week after we sold CSX 3121 (September 1975). I don't know how your much later car was set up. but those sold in the U.S. exhibited nothing but understeer, to the point that if driven aggressively, the front tires would be gone in under 5k miles.

There's a pic in my gallery of my then 20-something wife standing next to the car.

In an attempt to replicate the Cobra's performance, I upgraded the engine to Boss 351 specs and added headers, but it never offered the same intoxicating rush.
