This one's fun too for the incessant diet and soap opera threads.

LOL, I used to have a 64 Cobra back in 1967. Couldn't keep it on the road. Most powerful car I ever owned and I'm sorry I ever sold it. Got a Camaro Z-29 for it (timed and tuned) which was quicker but not manuverable. Then traded down for a 68 Backaruda 383 4-bbl which I was able to handle (I was 18). That Cobra I sold to Bob Krichovich wound up wrapped around a bridge abutment, the fate of many a pony from that era.

btw, that 383 4-bbl was 400 hp stock and it was considerably less responsive to either the Cobra or the Z-29. The Cobra was really positive straight down a line, but the full pump was always a problem (it seemed to never get enough fuel when I wanted - which was always - I was 17 then). D*mn. That car was a getter.
