Cobra (specifically terminator) > Shelby
Cobra's and GT350/500s were sold at the same time so the GT350/500 could not be called a Cobra. OBTW some don't like the idea that Shelby gave Cobra name rights to Ford and then Ford used it on the Mustang.

Not getting into the 2007+ Shelby’s...but IMO...
Shelby Cobra > ‘65 Shelby > ‘66-‘70 Shelby > Terminator
I agree.Shelby Cobra > ‘65 Shelby > ‘66-‘70 Shelby > Terminator
And the Torino.
I believe Carroll Shelby was bit by a Cobra when he was a chicken farmer and in the aftermath never ran so fast to seek medical attention.
Common answer is that it came to him in a dream. Maybe he was dreaming about the snake bite, who knows. Ford later got the rights to use the name on the mustangs and keep it going. GT350/500s were never called Cobras.

Not true.
See below for an advertisement from the day. Clearly he called them Cobras to some extent.

In before the self proclaimed "expert" shows up...That is where all the controversy comes in. Die hard, you better not call my Shelby GT500 a cobra or I will beat you around the head and shoulder about it, say it was a Ford thing that never made it into the the final product. Others who are not so snittish about it point out that the name Terminator also never made it into the final product yet everyone uses that terminology. Myself I could care less what you want to call mine. Many have called mine a Cobra, I just smile and say thanks.
Stay away from the 2007+. Big can of worms there.

I like it.Well, we can always rehash what a "real" Shelby is.
I love my Shelby. I would never call it a Cobra though. BTW, does this widebody make my butt look fat?
