I remember hearing an XM Comedy segment where Cosby was talking about his twin-supercharged Cobra and how Shelby had convinced him to switch from some Ferrari. Cosby went on about how the speedometer on the Ferrari went to 200 and the Cobra didn't have that kind of top speed, so Shelby built him the supercharged Cobra and made sure there was a speedometer that went all the way to 220. I never pictured Cosby as being a speed freak; the bit was pretty funny.
