I had a 66 427/425 C2. Wish I still had it for collectability but it was a toy compared to my Backdraft with a 550hp Roush engine. It would be as out of place today technology wise as an original Cobra would be. It was not a safe car period. It was pretty quick in a straight line but that was it and it was nowhere near as quick as my Backdraft. Handling and braking were atrocious. About the only plus is the doors are higher and its heavier which gives you a little better sense of security. I also had a 1972 Kawasaki H2 which was the fastest bike you could buy back then. Ran 11.8 with it at raceway park. Now that was a really dangerous vehicle.
