Just read this on drive. Id post the link but I dont know how so I cut and pasted some of the article.
""An 800-horsepower Shelby Cobra has sold for $US5.5 million ($A6.98 million) at auction in Arizona, a record for an American car. It was once the personal car of the racing veteran who developed the iconic sports vehicle. The sale of the 1966 Shelby Cobra "Super Snake" brought a packed house to its feet in Scottsdale at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction after a pair of bidders drove the price up. Carroll Shelby, 84, who created the Cobra in the '60s using Ford engines and a British sport car chassis, said he built the Super Snake - with twin superchargers on a 427 cubic inch V-8 - and drove it for years. "It's a special car. It would do just over three seconds to 60 (mph), 40 years ago," Shelby told the crowd before the sale."" I cant believe the power, 800hp in a cobra! That would be scary.
