Cobra Make, Engine: Owned CSX 3121 1969-1975. Went to the dark side and bought a 'Vette. May yet repent and be saved.

Not Ranked
While there were a lot of years between the two, I went from CSX3121 (real Cobra) to a Porsche 930. Not being able to leave anything stock, I eventually tweaked the thing to over 500 HP (engine dyno) via K27 turbo, twin plug ignition, Gruppe B cams, huge intercooler, etc. By the time the madness was finished, the Porsche was probably as quick as the Cobra in a straight line, but I never got comfortable with the handling. I'm convinced that over most roads, I could get from point A to point B faster in the Cobra just because I trusted it. The Porsche always seemed ready to trailing throttle oversteer me into oblivion.
