it's a great car stock, I'm not a fan of the car fully tuned. Besides, why tune such a legendary car?

I hit 236 drafting an Enzo. For 1967, that car is incredibly fast! Don't like the Handling/Grip/Brakes though.

The Cobra 427 SC modified for race was clocked at 198.something miles per hour at a Le Mans event back in the day. I have pictures of the car that did it. I took my pictures while it was driven locally at a Historic Automobile Race.
They had to modify the nose to keep it on the road. It would tend to lift at speeds above 170 mph. The 289 would do 150 mph and the 427 would do 170 mph stock. This is with the 427 Side Oiler engine and not the 428 police motor.

40 mph. Drove it through the first corner of the GP circuit on Nurburgring 24h, and got out of the car. Using the recommended version.
It can go over 200? Unexpected. I never knew it could be so fast.
