Not Ranked
I like the fact that my old Cobra is quick. I do like taking off from a stop with a "whoosh" as it were. Entrance ramps on highways are my most favorite if there is no one ahead of me. When you get to the top of the entrance ramp it can be terrifying as the non assisted breaks require a good tromping on.
Having had my 428 rebuilt recently after about 55K miles the new version with roller cam, lifters and roller rockers and a new clutch has been a real breath of fresh air for the old ERA.
I really enjoy bopping round town in primarily 1st or 2 gear. The torque is incredible and steering is and has been wonderful. I am running the Krause Goodyear Billboards and they grip well but if you do not roll the car a foot or two every 5 days, well the Billboards will assume a flat spot for a few miles. Next set will be Avons for sure.
My SPAX coil over shocks are original with the Eibach (sp?) springs. I had the shocks recently tested and they were fine after all these years!!
Still, the Cobra is not as quick as my Tesla, or as fast.
Both are fun to drive and are on opposite sides of the sophistication curve.
