I suppose the Datsun reference is kind of accurate, but let's remember which one came first. To say the Daytona Coupe looks like a Datsun 280Z is like saying the Great Egyptian Pyramids look a lot like the MGM Grand hotel in Vegas. It's more fitting to put it the other way around. Though, I guess the Daytona owes its looks to Ferrari's GTO which came before? Anyway, Vegan, this is a good thread. Sure to draw much debate. I personally think the Coupe is quite beautiful, but certainly in a different way than a "regular" Cobra. I do prefer the lines of the 427, 289 FIA and even the 289 slabbies to the coupe. But the already substantial Cobra legend was taken to another level with the perfomance of those original Daytonas, and obviously Dodge was smitten enough with them to basically crib the design cues for the Viper GTS, (which I think outsold the RT/10 at the end of its' run) a few years ago.
Big ups to P. Brock and SPF!

P.S. I like the white wheels.
