The 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake, packing 800 hp, is often described as the quaint essential muscle car of all American muscle cars. Which, of course, triggers some keyboard warriors to throw their toys out of the cot, shouting about the car being a so-called death trap. What? No crumple zones? No ABS brakes? No airbags? How can people even drive such a thing, they say. Very respectfully, that’s how.
