I have never seen an engine that looks cooler, goes like he11 and sounds worse than the Viper V10.  |
Ah come on. At least you would have a snake on the valve covers instead of Chevy or Corvette. Or worse, and M/T. 
Shelby helped Dodge with the Viper and he helped AC and Ford a little with the Cobra.  |

I love the look of that engine and it gets points from me as an interesting interpretation for a cobra. But I could never live with a "wheezy" engine.

There's a Cobra on Cobra County with a Viper V10.

It's to bad that Viper V-10 sounds so anemic, and apparently there is little or nothing you can do about it. It is what it is, never the less, it is pretty cool, in a Cobra. I saw an English replica Cobra with a Jaguar V-12, now that was pretty cool. Dressed up real nice too. Thats a nice fit, an English motor in an English inspired ride, a certain symetry there.  |

Have you heard a modified Viper with Belanger headers and catback exhaust. They sound scary enough for me.
No, not a V12 Ferrari or a Cobra with FE, but still scare the you know what out of me. |
