Great, great stuff. I'll always remember the first time I saw a metallic blue Cobra down here parked on the Drag (Guadalupe Street) in the fall of 1965.
Something that hits so hard that you never forget it.

Ford horsepower + beefed-up small English car chassis = ultimate hotrod

It was a visceral toss-up that freshman year whether the Cobra or Farah Fawcett was the hottest..
(Not that I was able to test drive either one)

Haha!!! In hindsight, you would have got WAY more mileage from the Cobra :)
P.S. a former manager of mine went to UT at the same time as F.F. - said he watched her walk across broken glass/hot coals/something (it's been over 30 years) in some sort of college campus nonsense.

The 2003/2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra was a killer - watch the speedometer on the left wind around without slowing down:
