There is no one single car in the Shelby universe that attracts attention, inspires such awe and captures the visceral energy of Shelby American as the Cobra Daytona Coupe. For only six cars, their significance is all out of proportion to their numbers.

Rob Walton brought his Daytona Coupe, CSX2286, to race at Lime Rock and Watkins Glen in early September of 2001. SAAC member and ace lensman Joe Kunecki was at Lime Rock and was able to catch Walton and the Coupe in action every time they went out on the track. And the car was not babied. Walton turned a 1:01 and at Lime Rock, and that is hauling!
