I'm not sure I'd consider any of the Cobra iterations a supercar. Extraordinary for their time, yes, especially the Daytona Coupe, but to me a supercar is one built for the street, for a skilled but not necessarily expert driver, that has performance in the top fraction of a percent. These days, that top fraction means over 200 MPH coupled with a quarter in the 12s (without special drag preparation) and 0-100-0 in under ten seconds. Some Cobra builds can match this, but only the expense of being very raw and uncomfortable rides. Not the same thing at all.
