What I wouldn’t give to drive all four of these legends on a racetrack! Seriously, these lucky Gearheads got to wheel an original 1965 427 Shelby Cobra, a 2010 Viper SRT-10 Roadster, 2012 Merecedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series and a 2013 Shelby GT500 around a racetrack. Of course the Shelby Cobra was the benchmark and the three newer cars all represented the modern renditions of the Cobra with big power, small chassis, wicked attitudes and rear-wheel drive!  If you could only pick one, which would it be? Before watching the video, here are the specs on the contenders:

1965 Shelby Cobra
7.0L V8
485 HP *Gross rated and highly underrated
480 LB-FT

2010 Viper SRT-10 Roadster
