That's a shame!
At Base Borden one year I got to see my daughter experience a LOW flyover by a F-18 Hornet...so shocked and full of fear the look on her face
I hope you get yourself a sonic boom someday.

I didn't know you can still get an AC Cobra. Updated version using Ford Coyote V8 and there's a supercharge version. Comes with ABS and traction control so the chance of wrapping around a tree is just slightly less.

Same car but slightly different options (colors, potentially rear end gearing). Europe vs NA marketing etc. (double checked that against wiki and numerous forums posts because I was starting to second guess that)

I know LTT is a hit and miss source around here (for my self as well). But always like videos driven by Anthony as he always showed a real enthusiasm. However since I saw this video a while ago always wanted to try.
