[Shotimes] OT: 0-160 video in new Cobra

[BOB FISHER]

it looks as if that thing could do 190+ easily and yes it really does take
off and accelerate very quickly.the only thing is it might be a dyno.i've
seen some cars spin tires on the dyno at maple grove for the ford nationals
and sound just like that.wind should slow down the acceleration much more
from around 100+ MPH-especially a mustang.they aren't the greatest for wind
resistance.BOB
