Back when I was a teenager Carroll Shelby shoehorned a 427 cubic inch American V8 into a British sports car chassis. Even with that big 7 liter cast iron V8, a Shelby Cobra only weighed about 2,500 lbs (1,136 kg). At the time $7,495 could buy you the fastest road-legal 0–60 mph vehicle available in the United States. I had a poster on my bedroom wall. I wanted to someday have one. That dream never came true, but a greater undreamt dream has. My dual motor Cybertruck is faster and far more spacious. Instead of the Cobra’s roughly 10 miles per gallon, at my home electricity rate my more powerful truck travels about 80 miles for the price of a gallon of gasoline. Admittedly I don’t have the sound of a big American V8 spinning toward 7,000 rpm. Instead, I have active noise cancellation and a sound stage of 15 speakers, including two subwoofers, to deliver the world’s greatest music at my spoken command. Nor do I have 4 gears to manually shift. That is replaced by smooth turbine-like continuous G-force. Oh, I’m not saying that the ’66 427 Shelby Cobra isn’t a glorious machine. It was. Restored examples bring $2–3+ million dollars. But, If somebody offered me either and said I had to actually live with one of them, I’d choose the Cybertruck. To have and use every day, I wouldn’t trade my Cybertruck for the best 427 Shelby Cobra on earth.
