Default The GT40 took down the Cobra

Re: the original thread topic - I remember as a kid in the early/mid 1970's reading an article in one of the popular British car mags of the time titled "Yellow Fever". It was about a yellow road-going GT40 that according to the writer had dethroned the mighty 427 Cobra as the fastest accelerating road car. I can't recall the data or the elapsed times they published but I definitely remember the article.
I wish I could remember the name of the publication but it was one of the main enthusiast magazines back then. My best friend's older brother had a subscription and we eagerly poured through the pages as soon as he was finished with them.
