- snip As I recall, the 427 AC Cobra did 0 to 100 to 0 in 13.5 seconds, or was it 13.4? Wasn't the last couple of 427 AC Cobras duel superor turbo charged? I believe Shelby, Bill Cosby and a couple of

- I would suspect he's talking about the more blatant imitators, ie the Cobra replica manufacturers. I would imagine at this point several times as many replicas as originals are rolling around, and ma
