leerocker Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I once read about those old 427 cobras... 0 to 100 to 0mph in 14 seconds. Unimaginable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I remember seeing a 427 Cobra at an autocross circa 1975. I thought Wow! this should be fast! The guy wound it up, dumped the clutch and promptly swapped ends in a cloud of tire smoke at the start line. Not real efficient at getting the power to the ground.

bhenry Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 My coolest car was a 2000 Mustang GT convertible "spring feature package", which was only an apperance package but was pretty rare. My favorite car is a truck. My 2006 F150 Lariat. Great work truck and then you can take the same good looking truck to take your wife out on the town. The coolest car I ever drove but could never own is the Ford GT. My father retired from Ford and now works for Roush who engineered the GT. A street legal race car. Hit 80 MPH on Woodward Avenue and backed off before getting out of second gear. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 A buddy of mine and I had been climbing the peaks in the Maroon Belles area (see pic) near Aspen for couple of weeks and when we came back to the parking area near the lake, all scarred up, filthy, and tired, seven genuine Shelby Cobras pulled up and parked in a row near my old beater pick-up. Incredible cars - I've got a picture somewhere with this background. There was some sort of owners club gathering in Aspen that week. Pretty amazing and loud return to civilization.

sputnik Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Anyone ever seen a 30's DeSoto Airflow? Cool car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 The 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible is another classic. I like the JFK black/black version best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 The '72 Porsche 911 S coupe is another cool car I'll never be able to own. OB, is this one of the most 911-ish of all the 911s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I'd love an Acura NSX but I'd settle for a nice Honda Prelude SH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 For now, this is the coolest car I've ever actually owned. A 1967 Jeepster Commando that I paid $800 for a year and a half ago. It's a blast to drive and I like to park it next to Hummers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 The 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible is another classic. I like the JFK black/black version best. JFK's Limo (the one he was killed in) is in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. Been there quite a few times to see it. Touched it a few times when no one was looking. Shame they display it with the glass top on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
