How so brother Billy? I made a jesting reference to the original Ferarri GTO after which the Poncho was named. Are ya saying Enzo was not responsible for the original or did you just take my lil' jest too seriously?

BTW - the old avatar gave me the willies, but it was better than the mugshot of Billary.

Shelby himself is quoted as saying that Ken Miles did the most to develop the Cobra into what it is...From an old Autoweek interview, back when his infamous lost and forgotten "AIR" chassis were about to go into production.
