    *THREADJACKING A SCROGGS THREAD*
    I highly recommend anyone who can make it to Pittsburgh this weekend (July 18-19) attend the free Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, run on closed streets in Schenley Park. Race Schedule Sadly, I will miss yet another year's race.
    /LeMons buzz wearing off.

    Well, I'm sure crapping your pants is a fairly routine event at LeMans.

    Wow, Graverobber, a FEATURE and not just any feature, but this fabled beast!


    The "Original Sin" headline is exactly right.

    A happier coincidence of style and power has rarely been seen. Less mental than it's inspiration, the Maser 450S with the boat engine.

    This is why it just doesn't pay to buy modern cars anymore, so matter how "super" they are. Unassailable.


    Good write up GraveRobber! Always good to see fellow commenters make the jump to contributors.

    The car that set the 0-100-0 standard.

    I'm a big fan of the original 260 or 289 Cobras.


    The later 427s were super bitchin' and obviously kicked ass, but they're just too overt.


    It's like seeing that cute cheerleader from high school working as a stripper 10 years and too many cosmetic surgeries later.

    @Mad_Science: There's also the fact that 427 Cobra's are capable of murdering the unaware or incapable driver.

    @SCROGGS!!: Even Carroll Shelby admitted as much, saying the 427 was a car that could kill you.
