First i had to see the lame GTR... luckally this week is cruzin the coast where thousands of really really nice hotrods come down the the mississippi gulf coast so i got the see the cobra... The red car is my old CRX and the nice silver EG is my friends car... Both the C-rex and the EG have B16's

It was cool seeing the CRX smoke a neon who thought he was running mid 14's from the factory (not an SRT)

I also got to run a spuercharged Mustang Cobra... He stayed in 5th, I stayed in 4th... He probilby got about 2 cars before we quit but he came to the hang out and gave me props and stuff for hanging at all...

After that the night got horrible... It's too long of a story to tell

there are tons of those shelby 427 kit cars out there, it's had to tell the difference between one of those and an original

I think the originals were signed by Carrol Shelby, can't think of a car bearing the shelby name that wasn't.

those kit cars can be pretty bad *** though...well, depending on how they're built anyway

The Factory five cars are especially mean. They handle like go karts AND have ford V8's so the power potential is sky high.

yeah, I think they used coil springs and IRS as oppossed to the leaf on the originals.

I think Shelby may still be rolling some new Cobras out, they're exspensive but it's real.
