The 427 Cobra is an amazing piece of machinery. Its raw acceleration, and its ability to turn corners at any speed, plus being able to stop on a dime puts it among the top three or four racing cars ever built.
The 427 Cobra was created during the muscle car revolution of the 50's and 60's by one man who built a little car company into an American legend: Carroll Shelby.
“This was a man who, when he was born, started looking at automobiles. He used to ride his bicycle down to the local race track to see what was going on. It was his passion. There’s nothing better when he’s passion, his avocation, and his vocation are the same thing. We all benefited from that because he just loved automobiles.”
