I love my highly modified 500+hp 03 Cobra and the look on the faces of Z06 owners when I leave them in the dust.

Something big and beefy went through the lower left side of the block, leaving a dime sized hole and marking the exact spot on Highway 5 with a dump of 20W50. It was a sad day as I came home, riding in the front seat of the tow truck. The lads in mechanical shop had finished overhauling a 396 sedan motor and, after negotiating a price, I installed this dog and sold the car, sadder but wiser.

The first car was built for transportation.

The second car was built to race the first.

The Shelby Cobra 427 has the most "personality" of any car on the road or ever created in history...but... you're right: "MOTORCYCLES ARE BETTER!!!"

Agree 100%. Those who love their cars have problems. It's after all, just a car.

Now, loving your motorcycle........

The chariot of the Gods: a Ferrari Daytona, or was it Carroll Shelby's 427 Cobra?

For your humble servant this falls well into the no-brainer category
Shelby Cobra! Without a doubt or a moments hesitation.
