I think the Shelby Cobra of the 60s may be one of the greatest cars ever
built. Great power to weight ratio. For a car that was done 40+ years ago,
I'd take one over just about anything else out there today, including the
Viper and GT40.

BUTT UGLY!
How dare they take a Hemi and stick it into some sick
Mercedes Benz wagon look a like with a Dodge grill and
call it "American Muscle". I swear, some of these concepts
look like they were designed by Euro trash on a money is
no object budget.
Just give me a Hemi on a frame and send it to Carroll Shelby.

With a nod to Hollywood, Chrysler Group President and CEO Dieter Zetsche
rolled out his company's latest concept, the Dodge Magnum SRT-8. Journalists
spilled the popcorn and candy from the film canister-shaped Magnum press kit
onto the carpet in their rush to get a closer look at the seriously powerful
rear-wheel-drive (RWD) concept. The all-new 5.7-liter supercharged Hemi V-8
engine produces a smoking 430 hp and 480 pounds-feet of torque. (LOL)
