"The fact is that the first Cobra had an XHP-260 small-block Ford V8 V8, which delivered 260 hp, and 269 lb-ft. Would something with 308 hp and 369 lb-ft deserve the name Cobra?"

For a price starting at $155k, the specs are not impressive at all. Zero to 62 MPH in 6.7 seconds is dismal in 2020. For about 1/3 that price, you can pick up a low mileage Tesla roaster with 0-60 performance at 3.7 seconds plus all the convenience of a modern super car.

Yeah, I thought it sounded pretty cool until I saw that 6.7 seconds. Not for me, though, anyway, but I am thinking of someday trading in the 3 and moving to a Y for more room. And then there's the matter of that cybertruck trimotor I still have on order. ;) (With the way the stock's been doing lately, I might even be able to afford it!) hehe (Actually hoping I might be able to afford to hold onto the 3 enough to make money with it as a robotaxi, that's probably wishful thinking though.)

I still like the looks of the AC better. :D

One of my favorite practical Ferraris, and one of the few I have been in.
