All that is man
Exciting moment!
As you probably don't know, the Cobra is three to four weeks from roaring. This in itself is good. Here's where it gets very good. I just ordered (consider it my "good job" present to myself) a Nitrous Oxide system for the car. This will offer an adjustable power gain of 75 to 150 horsepower.
Most street cars weigh in around 3,400 pounds. The Cobra weighs in at 2,300 pounds.
The engine in its current trim makes about 350 horsepower. + Nitrous = 500 horsepower.
A brand new, sporty, Mustang GT makes 300 horsepower at the engine (power is lost getting it to the wheels through friction. Those cobra numbers are at the wheels.
A new Mustang GT should push itself through 1/4 of a mile in around 14 seconds. A new Dodge Viper will do that in 12.2 seconds
The cobra might do it in 11-12 seconds.

11-12. You might as well go for a 10 second car. Then you can be as cool as Vin Desiel.
Ohhhhh my! That is so awesome!
I feel like a little school girl as I was getting excited to go pickup an electric ignition for the bug when I got back into town…
I'm really pumped to see this monster!
ooh, ooh, I want a ride in it when you git 'r done!
