Default Bill Cosby's "200 M.P.H."

Most Cobra owners are Cobra history buffs and know that Shelby produced two 800 bhp 427 "Supersnakes" (CSX3015 & CSX3303), each with a twin Paxton supercharger and a Ford C-6 auto tranny. Additionally, most know that the second Supersnake was built for Bill Cosby. Rumor has it that Cosby took his wife on the maiden drive, stomped it and lost control. He then returned the car to Shelby. (A subsequent owner of CSX3303 drove it off a cliff into the ocean and paid the ultimate price.)

What some may not know is that Cosby developed a stand-up comedy routine, "200 M.P.H." about his experience with his Cobra. You can go to a number of Internet sites and listed to this monolog. By downloading the Rhapsody player from the rolling stone website:

I was able to listen to the sketch free. Suggest you advance the player to about 10 minutes into the routine where the Cobra story starts. Enjoy.
