Default Cobra Myths and Legends

Hi,

The Cobra has become a part of automotive folklore over the years and countless tales have developed, some true, others less so.
Many I already know, but I'm sure there are others I haven't yet heard. The tale of how Shelby used to stick a $100 bill to the inside of the windscreen and if the passenger could reach it under acceleration, they could keep it, is a good example. The story goes that no one ever did get the $100.
I'd like to hear about all the tales, myths and legends, true or otherwise that have become a part of the Cobra folklore. Even if you think everyone will already know it, please post it up here.
In the words of Baldric from Blackadder, I have a cunning plan.

Thanks,
Paul
