You all know the story of the Shelby Cobra, but judging by the responses we got while driving it around Las Vegas, the Daytona is not as well known. It was designed by Pete Brock to offer better aerodynamics and a higher top speed compared with the Cobra, which couldn’t compete with Ferrari on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans. Although this particular coupe is a former race car, you can think of it as the more practical of the Factory Five cars we took to the track, if a car with a ’cage and five-point harnesses can be practical. Its aerodynamic Kammback tail has a huge glass hatch that opens to a generous cargo area, and, of course, it has a roof. Even though the coupe doesn’t have side glass, the extra wind protection the roof provides makes a huge difference in driving feel when compared with the roadster, but the bare-aluminum interior served as an echo chamber for road noise at highway speeds, and we’d get into too much trouble if we tried to drown it out with the sidepipes. We’d probably order a couple yards of Dynamat if we had a coupe build planned.
