    I purchased csx3225 in 1968 by getting my dad to cosign on a loan as I graduated from college. I spent a week convincing it would be worth more than the $4,995 asking price. I was 6'7" at the time...

    Quarter mile times for original cobras depend mainly on tires. The original blue dots had little traction so more HP didn't help much. My 1966 Cobra with a 428 turned 12.4 at 112 in the quarter with...

    I have to disagree. I have a P85D and really enjoy driving the car. It's by far the quickest car I have. It ran 11.3 at 118 in the quarter and handles well for such a heavy car. Has an extremely low...
