This creation is a thing of beauty to my eye. I have lusted after AC Cobras in their many variations since they first made an appearance in the early 60’s with the original small blocks. Then the beefier big blocks and the sensuous curves expanded. The closest I ever got was riding in a 427 replica that was scary fast…and loose. The beast was a hazard and prone to torque itself into a death spiral at any moment. Still, a thing to admire just sitting there, menacing, with its loping cam idle. That thing meant business!
Now, how times have changed. My rather ordinary Tesla Model 3LR + power boost is only a couple tenths slower to 60 and costs 6X less. The Model 3 Performance is actually a few tenths faster and the Model S Plaid is a whole lot faster. None of the strum & drang of the rumbling V8 and all those gear changes but stealth quickness is its own intoxicant, I can attest. I’ve crossed over the bridge in my old age. I have no lust left for the ICE exotics.
A word of warning: do not drive a good BEV, you will most likely never go back to yesterday unless you travel long distances.
