Shorter than a Mazda Miata and weighing just more than 3,000 pounds, the Shelby Cobra concept has a 605-horsepower, all-aluminum V-10 engine mounted at the front of an advanced Ford GT-based aluminum chassis.

There is no roof, no side glass and no radio.

"That\'s the formula," says Shelby. "It\'s a massive motor in a tiny, lightweight car."


Dayam, this sounds cool.  Highly unpractical and most likely very expensive.  I doubt I\'ll ever spot one on the road.

It sound every bit a dangerous as the Mk1 version. Lots of people have died behind the wheel of one of those beasts.

I voted yes btw. :D

I watched them build it on TLC the other night. Very cool, I\'ll drool if I ever see one on the street.

Oooo...

Several people in town have some riced out ones. I hate it.

This would look much better if it had a top, IMO.
Think for yourself. Question authority.
