I wondered what made me Buy a COBRA!

Besides looking Cool, it is Blindingly Fast and can take a turn!!

The first Ford comes in at #18 on the list!! What the hell was going on at FoMoCo back then?

Actually, Ford is #1 on the list but the Cobra is not a muscle car. The Corvettes aren't either. It seems that none of the magazines or muscle car sites know what true muscle cars are.
