Flash from retirement village: while Shelby's primary focus in building the Cobras was road racing, the big news on the street was how damn fast they were in a straight line. Re-read road tests of the day and see which aspect of the cars' performance got the headlines.

I bought mine in 1969 because it was could out-accelerate just about anything on wheels AND, by the way, it had sports car handling.
