[Fred Douglass]

The Brits just can't resist! I just finished reading an article in the current issue of EVO on "Scary Cars" in which the 427 S/C is duly maligned as a evil-handling, uncornerable beast. The proverbial straw, however, was a claim that the cobra was "Britain's Scariest Car". I wrote the mag-eds a letter which explained that that foolish statement was "tantamount to calling the XK120 France's sexiest roadster". I also explained how the evolution up from the 260 cobras had made the 427 a new species.

Let's see if they print it.
