I'm 60, my wife is 55. I grew up with factory musclecars of the '60's and '70's. Also grew up with British sportscars of the late '50's, '60's, and '70's. As a mechanic (then), I worked on a lot of them, and drove a lot them. As an engineer (now) I still appreciate the acceleration of American muscle, the nimbleness and agility of British finesse, and the blending of both in the Cobra.

I drove (or test drove) Shelby 289's, Shelby GT350's, and Shelby 427's in the early '60's. I was hooked! But the American great patriotic war, as unpopular as it was, I went, (Vietnam) interviened. Upon returning, the great air emissions war was just beginning. Performance was history. Muscle was legislated out of existance.

"I gotta get me one of these." Have owed it to myself ever since, and now "I got me one of these."
